Dear Sandy,
I don't think that human words can even begin to describe what Heaven is actually like!!!
Some years ago I did hear somebody describe the first 1,000 years in heaven with people saying "Ohhhhhhhhh. That is why that had to happen. Now I understand."
I do look forward to being in the presence of my heavenly Father and to no more tears, or sadness or sickness or shadows. For the most part I simply trust my heavenly Father because He is trustworthy. I spend my time on this earth trying to share the Truth with more people. Only those who accept Jesus Christ as their LORD and Savior in this life will enjoy heaven.
You might be interested in C.S. Lewis' description of heaven in The Great Divorce, A Bus Trip from Hell to Heaven, A One-Way Trip for Some, A Round Trip for Others.
Another book would be Don Piper's 90 Minutes in Heaven which I enjoyed reading last month.

Read Revelation Of The Bible.
A Prophet (I Don't Remember Who) Got Told From God A Bit What Heaven Was Like And He Wrote About It In The Book Of Revelation.
Your Soul Goes There, And There Is No Pain, Suffering. There Are No Jobz, You Are Up There With Your Heavenly Father.

In 1 Corinthians 2 it says, 9 'but just as it is written, "THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM." As humans with physical bodies and human spirits we cannot understand what it will be like in heaven, so not a lot is revealed to us. Singing is a human activity and requires vocal chords, but angels are never mentioned in the Bible as ever singing. I don't think that is a big one in heaven. We will not be looking down on earth, because it will no longer exist, nor is there anything to suggest that we will ever see hell. We will serve God. Now there will be a new heaven and new earth created without sin, and we will function in those areas. Rewards will be given, which are often spoken of as crowns and so those who have been faithful will rule over others in a whole new spirit world. Again our faithfulness determines how close we are to the Lord in Heaven.
Sorry, can't tell you much more. Have to wait and see.

The question is already directed to Heaven Christians only. Right there tells me , you might have some difficulty getting an answer.No one knows. Only God knows. Im not sure about "looking down and see hell"..i think if you look around every day, you will see a form of hell. Just turn on the tv to CNN. Or the news, like that man that decapitated his 4 yr daughter, and smiled in the mug shot...........................

I don't think we will be singing all the time. There are books on heaven, one is by Joni Earckson title Heaven. Within the Gates by Rebecca Springer is another book. Or read Revelations, it talks about heaven. We will probably have some jobs in heaven. Not bad jobs that we will hate. When we first get to heaven, we will probably find people that we have known who have died and talk to people from the Bible. I know I will want to talk to Peter and Paul and Noah, and others.There will be times that we just want to be with Jesus because isn't that why we are there. He took us home to be with Him

A sick man turned to his doctor,
as he was preparing to leave the examination room and said,
"Doctor, I am afraid to die.
Tell me what lies on the other side."
Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know."
"You don't know?
You, a Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?"
The doctor was holding the handle of the door;
on the other side came a sound of scratching and whining,
and as he opened the door,
a dog sprang into the room
and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.
Turning to the patient, the doctor said,
"Did you notice my dog?
He's never been in this room before.
He didn't know what was inside.
He knew nothing except that his master was here,
and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear.
I know little of what is on the other side of death,
but I do know one thing...
I know my Master is there and that is enough."

there is a hierarchy of angels, not sure of the order sorry but, cherubim, seraphim's, arch angels,don't know much about them except they are God's messengers. heaven is difficult to answer, but I would look at the scriptures, Jesus said marriage isn't the way we perceive it on earth, in heaven. I don't think it will be the same as earthy pleasures, but who knows. revelation gives a pretty exact account of heaven.

how do you know there is a choir and we sing...you have got to stop assuming something of which you do not know...as far as I know Jesus is the only one who rose from the dead, ascended and came back but He never mentioned all the stuff you are espousing.
now be a dear and put the kerosene can down and stop sniffing harmful chemicals

forget all the descriptions and have only this in mind : only your soul goes there, not your body...
there is no time, but only eternity...no space, but only infinity...
heaven can be described like a state of perfect inner peace and beatitude and absolute happiness that surrounds your soul as well as the other souls...
it is an eternity of blessed happiness and inner peace...
beautiful, isn't it ?
