There is a description in the Bible. I am a christian and I think about this. I look forward to Jesus return. Of course I want to feel secure in the salvation of my family and friends and others, but I think about Jesus saying he is going to prepare a place for me and I can only imagine the scene that will be set before my eyes.

Seriously I stopped trying to picture what Heaven is like long ago,no matter what you dream up it will never be anything quite like the reality of Heaven,Jesus told us this fact,`No eye has seen no ear has heard ,nor has it entered into the heart of man, what God has prepared for those who love Him`.

I used to picture it as...well...a gigantic cloud with magnificent towers in it, and the typical view of heaven: just paradise. Recently, I had an epiphany. I think Heaven might look normal. Well, not normal. But average. It'll obviously be magnificent because it's the place where Christ resides, and it will be beautiful because there won't be any crimes or any wrath, or whatnot. I'm starting to picture it as a city.

Given the description in the bible, I think it will be extremely boring. With zero conflict and lively discourse, how could it be anything else? Call me crazy and I'm sure Christians will but heaven sounds like a fool proof prescription for Alzheimer's.

The place prepared by Jesus was not intended for you. Sorry, but that is the way it is. His preparations were for the anointed.
God personally choose those he wanted to work with Jesus, and they knew who they were, almost from birth.
Just 144,000. But take heart. If you read further in Revelation, you will come to a phrase where it talks about God pitching his tent 'WITH' mankind, here on earth.
Very few preachers ever get to discuss this because it throws their preaching everyone into heaven; out the door.
More on this if you want to study it.

The same way I picture Eden, lots of gorgeous trees, flowers, grass, creeks, wildlife. I have a hard time with the streets and mansions spoken of in the bible, so I think I'll just hang out outside the city walls.
Of course, my idea of Eden has no fleas, ticks, stinging buggy things or poisonous snakes.

Hard to say - I think all descriptions are metaphoric, and meant to let us know it is a good and enjoyable place.
I feel like we may become little parts of something big, working together in unision. Physically what its like is a totally mystery - but we will recognize each other somehow.
.. great question cant wait to see the answers

I have never tried to picture heaven. I think it will be more like a feeling. We will have new bodies. There will be no sorrow, no pain, no disease and only absolute perfection. It will be the best of the best, a feeling so intense and peaceful, we can't compare anything on earth to it.

Probably like a hotel that you can't check out of. I like the idea of reincarnation a lot more I guess. Its like, your born again to learn even more, thats why their are some people that just have this knowledge that they can't explain. Also, it keeps things interesting. I mean, would you really want to live for eternaty? Eternity is a long time. Wouldn't you get bored?
