What does Heaven look like?

[Hanith]

I was just curious.

 

[Hanith]

Anyone?

 

[Assyrian]

You know that thing about clouds and angels and harps? Not that.

Rev 21 and 22 have some descriptions. What do you think about it?

Science has no idea. You are going to have to look to revelation for an answer.

 

[JRSut1000]

Revelation does have many fascinating things to say, but it's mostly about the 'new Jerusalem' that comes down. It talks about the crystal river and 12 trees with different fruits, the emerald throne, pearl gates, walls of gems, etc. Read it for yourself!

I am always amazed by the size of the New Jerusalem. Nearly a 2-mile size cube. I don't think Apostle John can make it up. It is beyond his imagination, and he did not know what was he talking about.

And, I just had an inspiration on the reason for the twelve different fruits from the Tree of Life (and their healing leaves.)

The 12 tribes of Israel?

The earth....without the bad or water or the sun

The 12 tribes of Israel?

Not fair.

Haven is the peaceful place, where is tree, river, birds and many more which you expect. A person live in haven like a king, but very difficult to reach there.

Very funny. If so, who will serve?

God created everything, so God can easily create server. We should remember that we have limitation, but nothing is impossible to God. As a believer, I believe it.

That's easy.

All will serve each other.
Remember Jesus said, "The greatest among you will be as one who serves." So in heaven those who live like kings will serve the other kings.

That is fine.

But the argument becomes: king == servant.
But definitions of the two words, it is wrong.

How do you know God will create new servants for human? How do you know God will even create anything, even now?

 

[JRSut1000]

How does this pertain to heaven, have I missed something?

As Jesus would say, you are thinking as the world thinks, not in the way of the kingdom of God.

My question to our role in the Heaven is that it is certainly not proper to describe ourselves as kings in the Heaven. We are better described as servants. I will be glad to serve, I will be no king.
