I believe that animals go to heaven. The Noak's Ark is a prophetic picture with Noah's family and all the pairs of animals being saved from judgement that God will restore mankind and all his creation in the new heaven and new earth at the completion of the present age. God's Covenant with Noah is for mankind and all flesh that they will never suffer God's judgement for sins but be restored forever, The Ark is a picture of the body of Jesus in which all creation will be saved. John 3:16 says that God so love the world (the whole earth and not just mankind) that He sent His Son to save the world. The fact that 'world' is used and not a specific term referring to mankind alone shows that it is God's intention to save mankind and all his other creation, including animals. Love is an attribute of God that man has for God is love. If man can love animals would not God loves them more? I believe God loves us and all His creation which He has considered good and He will restore all..

God promised to restore all things in the new earth because the earth is God's 'disneyland' for all His creations in the whole universe to enjoy. When we go to be with God He will allow us to enjoy all His 'disneylands' in the universe He has created for us to enjoy which cannot be exhuasted for eternity. I believe God has other creations elsewhere that we cannot even imagine. So the earth must be preserved by God in all its entirety.

I believe God will never put Himself in a position to be accused by mankind of partiality. God will save and restore all so the mankind say that He has miss anything in the expression of His love. God saves and restores all.

Only Adam and Eve were given the free will to choose the tree of life or the tree of knowledge of good and evil and therefore only man has the choice of sinning or not sinning. Animals are not given this choice therefore they cannot sin but they also fall when man fall. All the more God should save them because it is not their fault for all the mess created by men. God will be very unjust not to save them but mankind

Before the fall all creatures feed on herbs - Gen 1:29,30. I go to church three/four times a week and I walk in the Spirit. I will answer to God for what I write here. Jesus told me this morning He loves not only mankind alone He loves all He has created and certainly He takes care of all of all His creation. God never makes any mistake in His creation that He will not retain for all eternity.

After the flood man are allowed to eat meat - Gen 9:3 which I believe will only last for this dispensation. There is no killing in heaven so we cannot be eating meat there.

Salvation is by grace and not works. Since God does not require man to work for his salvation so also the animals and all things. Creation itself (including your pet) ALSO will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God - Rom 8:21

I believe that animals will be in Heaven.
Isaiah 11:6 The wolf will live with the lamb, the lepard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them all.

Animals do not have souls and so can't go to Heaven because they cannot choose to love God, have faith in Him, or do good works. They are lovely creatures, and God loves them, but they just are not the same as people. Plus, if a squirrel can go to Heaven just by doing what he does naturally, why should people have to go to Hell because they do what they do naturally?
It is not Disneyland, either on Earth or in Heaven. Please, think seriously about the matter, not with your wishes but with your brain, and go to church. Religion is not a matter of what the individual believes or wants to be true, but finding what IS true, regardless of who believes/wants it.

no, I do not want to come face to face with the cow that I had for dinner. I often wonder this myself but here is what I came up with. Have you ever seens dogs who resemble their masters?
My belief is that animals begin to look like their masters because they become the friend of their master's soul. Animals don't have souls but in a sense they do go to Heaven because they are a part of their master's energy...since matter can neither be created or destroyed, then animals must be found in Heaven in keeping the energy balance that God himself has set.

Psalm 83:3-4
My soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have rejoiced in the living God. For the sparrow hath found herself a house, and the turtle a nest for herself where she may lay her young ones: Thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God.
Matthew 6:26-30
Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value than they? And which of you by taking thought, can add to his stature by one cubit? And for raiment why are you solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin. But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. And if the grass of the field, which is today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, God doth so clothe: how much more you, O ye of little faith?
Luke 12:6
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

there is not any info or record interior the Bible of an animal heaven, this has additionally bewildered me interior the previous that the only creatures that get to stay for eternity are people, yet there is not any valid archives for it, the only element the Bible says is that animals do not pass to heaven or a minimum of our (human heaven).

The animals were saved for food and work, Oxen, Camels etc. were needed. How many Chickens and Cattle do you think would be in Heaven,Jesus ate fish,do you think He would eat something with a eternal soul.Why would a cat be saved and not a goldfish.

Animals are obedient to God. Why not follow the same things he has said to us about being obedient. That means that animals would go to heaven.
