What is Heaven like??

Question

What is Heaven supposed to be like? Are there any sort of descriptions? Are
there houses/shops and animals in Heaven? What exactly is Heaven's purpose and what happens in Heaven???

Answer 1

God is preparing mansions in heaven for those who believe in His name and follow Him. I think that God knows what your favorite/dream things are and they will be used in building your mansion. Heaven will be full of colors we have never seen, smells we've never smelled, and sounds more beautiful than anything we've ever heard. Heaven is where those who have salvation go when they die - for eternity - for ever and ever. In heaven there will be no weeping or anything "bad" just happiness and worshiping the King of Romance, who is Lord over Everything and loves YOU!!!

Answer 2

From those who been there and been revived later, we are told it's a place where we feel unbelievably good and and are reunited with all our loved ones(including pets). We communicate with our minds there, but can hear a voice.
Music plays in unison with plant movements, and there are many trees and flowers in colors we have never seen. The music is not like music here.

We can move fast if we want. Some people describe it as "double leaping". I heard no mention of a shop, but I did hear one man who was struck by lighting say there was a greenhouse.

We can hold a book to our heads and read it fast. We have spiritual guides.There are no shadows since the light comes from all around and not a sun.

Revelation chp21verse18-27 The wall was made of jasper, and the city was pure gold,as clear as glass.the wall of the city was built on foundation stones inlaid with twelve gems:the first was jasper,the second sapphire, the third agate,the fourth, the fifth onyx,the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite,the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz,the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. the twelve gates were made of pearls-!And the main street was pure gold, as clear as glass. No temple could be seen in the city for the lord God Almighty and the Lamb(Jesus) are its temple. The city has no need of sun or moon, the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb(Jesus) is its light.The nations of the earth will walk in its light, and the rulers of the world will come and bring their glory to it. its gates never close at the end of day because there is no night. And all the nations will bring their glory and honor into the city. Nothing evil will be allowed to enter-no one who practices idolatry and dishonesty-but only those whose names are written in the book of life.

Heaven I really don't know what it's about. By all the people the information I got from them and from church is that heaven is so many things. It's all you ever dream of. It has it all.

Answer 7

No sickness, no death, everything is perfect and we are forever in the presence of God. We have new perfect bodies and we are united with loved ones that have died as long as they are born again. It is like the garden was before there was sin.

Answer 8

It's basically just a megachurch, only many times bigger. It's for the common folk. The intelligent among us go to Valhalla, while the evangelicals go to Tartarus.

Revelation 21
1And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

4And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

6And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

7He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

9And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

10And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

11Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

12And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

13On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

14And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

16And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

17And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

18And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

19And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;

20The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

21And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

22And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.

23And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

24And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

25And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.

26And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.

27And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Answer 10
