Views on Heaven

[Sinless_angels]

I was just wondering what everyones views on Heaven were...

I mean like what kinda place do you think it will be??
Everyone seems to have a different thought on it...

Do you even think about it much?

Are you looking foward to it or not??

God created all of creation, everything we see, in 6 days. Jesus left 2000 years ago to prepare a place for us. It's way beyond anything any of us could comprehend. But I think we also get to see hints and shadows of it now, we may be surprised by some things that were part of this world that will be in the next.

Part of me really can't wait, there's a big part of me that see's people I love who still need the Lord and I don't want to leave them behind. Need some more time to reach out to them. Pretty much Philippians 1:21-26

If a Christian is not looking forward to heaven, then they need to really revaluate their Christianity.

They way I see it... is this. I don't even try to conceptualize the thought of heaven becasue it is a waste of time. That said becasue the most wonderful lavish place on earth is the most vile disgusting sest pool in heaven... our human minds cannot craft 1 cubic inch of the floor of heaven. so I just leave it at that.

All I know is, I hope there's a film room, so I can sit down with God for a day, watch the tape of my life and let him do the Director's Commentary. Or just let me hit pause every now and then and ask "what the heck did THAT happen for?!?" and "What was this person thinking?!?"

I hope there's a giant barbecue pit. The hot air from Hell would rise, and I could roast some hot dogs over the fire.

I'm hoping that there will be a lot of wide open space - I don't like thinking of heaven as a city with gold streets; I prefer to think of it as having lots of open untouched countryside, sort of how I would imagine Eden to have been but a lot bigger. Maybe with some cities in it for people who like that sort of thing, but with lots of non-city area too. I think about it fairly often and think about stuff that I'd like to do when I get there and I am very much looking forward to it - after I live a long and productive life of course Of course it isn't so much heaven that I'm looking forward to as actually meeting Jesus face to face and being able to be physically in His presence. Heaven is just kind of an afterthought compared to how much I'm looking forward to that.

 

[Psalms34]

When I think of heaven I often think of the next one mostly (Rev 21). You see this Heaven will pass away but the next one will be the best. When I think of Jesus preparing a place for us now, I mostly think of it as reference to our eternal bodies that we will occupy. The new Heaven and the New earth will be something though. I often think of lush forests, spectacular mountains and friendly animal life. Lots of things to do and places to go. And all roads lead to the throne room of God.

 

[JPPT1974]

Heaven is a place where there is no such thing as hate, weeping, sadness. But all of heaven is with golden streets and mansions built just for us. As Jesus has never, ever played favorites with people. No matter what they have done, who they are, or what they have said in the past. If we accept him as Savior and Lord and repent and ask for forgiveness of our sins. Then we are going to heaven. As there is happiness, laughter, as well as Jesus himself. But also most of all, we get to see what God looks like since Jesus knows what his Father looks like.
