Will there be animals in heaven?

Question

I would like to believe so. According to the bible, horses come out of heaven. So it is possible for animals there too.

I miss my old dog Rover.

Revelations 19:11 is a good verse.

Answer 1

I think humans are another type of animal so yes. and i dont believe only christians go to heaven that is judging for one and its also egotism.

Answer 2

It seems that John saw animals in heaven in Revelation 5:11-14.

Answer 3

God is the creator of all animals and nature, as well as people. while people have been gifted with souls that can actively choose or deny God, I think animals and plants would fall in the same category as angels, with all creation that longs/ groans for God. they have no choice, but know and love God automatically. Read the Chronicles of Narnia series for C.S. Lewis's imagination of how animals love and know God, and will be in heaven (read the last book, "the Last Battle" for most specific occurences). I know it isn't addressed in the Bible directly, but an artist wouldn't throw away his own good work. Why would God let his creation, like the universe and the creatures who live in it, disappear? I believe that they will be with us, although I can't honestly say it's spelled out in the Bible. (It's also not spelled out that they won't be. fyi--"dogs" outside of heaven is in the context of unrepentant sinners. it was a form of insult in the times that passage was written. It doesn't literally refer to dogs. Most of Revelation should not be read entirely literally. )

Answer 4

Animals were created to live on earth, just as people are. There are only 144,000 people who will be going to heaven and they have a job to do when they get there ... they are going to be kings and priests with Jesus as he rules for 1000 years. Its a government job sort of like the senate; you can't be a senator without relocating to DC and there are only so many seats in the senate.

See Revelation Revelation 7:4-8; 20:6

Answer 5

How could there not be? God created them. And if we love them so much, how much more would the creator? He put them into the garden which was paradise... And it says that there are horses in the book of revalation.

I think my dad is at cabin in the woods, fishing with his dog Junior right now. Cause that is the mansion that would make him happy....


and for the priest that said they(animals) can't worship... the word says even the rocks will cry out...

Answer 6

I only know about the horses, but if heaven will be better than anything we can imagine, I think there may be a place for animals. This is just speculation.

Answer 7

No. Animals will be right here on the earth with the great multitude of people. The children will be able to play with vipers and not be hurt. The lamb will be able to lie with the lion and not be hurt. Why would animals go to heaven, when the majority of people will be here?

Answer 8

Of course, read the scriptures. Lamb and the lion shall lie together without any ire... can't remember the verse. do a search for the verse. but animals have been part of our lives and they will be in the next life.

Answer 9

I don't remember exactly which verses (and I'm too big of a bum to go look it up), but yes, there are verses that mention animals being in paradise. Now, whether or not that would include your childhood pet that died, I'm not sure. But animals, for sure...tame too, if they were wild before

Answer 10

Which part of the bible ? That sounds interesting. I only knew that dogs are outside the gates of heaven.

Answer 11

You better believe it, there will be : The story of Noah, God saved the animals and when Jesus returns it will be as it was in the days of Noah.
Now this means a lot of things but one of the things it means is the animals .
