Christians, what do you think Heaven will be like? Are the streets paved with Gold? Is there a Crystal Sea?

Question

Oh how I am so anxious to get there. Everlasting peace, away from the evil of this world. What do you know about Heaven ?

Answer 1

It would be like being in a psychiatric hospital. I would have mentally retarded Jesus freaks all around me. Now that's scarier than being stuck eternally in a pit of burning brimstone.

Answer 2

You forgot the Pearly Gates!!! Streets of Gold... All the predators and prey will co exist... You won't have to worry about aging or death... Nothing but living with God and enjoying Him forever.

Meanwhile, the earth version of "Hell" where all the bad girls are at and having sex all the time with you, shooting pool, and drinking excessive amounts of alcohol and smoking weed til all hours with the partying with the Devil type of attitude.

Reality, they will be in a place of torment, where the fires are never quenched and the worm never satisfied. The worst part will be that it could all have been prevented. Unfortunately, for them they will find out too late. They will be judged and they will curse, cry in anger and gnash their teeth going from Heaven.

But those who have put their faith in Jesus.. The righteous will have all their tears wiped away. They will hear of their sin and their passing on glory. Then they will hear the testimony of others who tell of how they encouraged, loved, etc. Jesus will say, "Well done, good and faithful servent, enter unto your rest."

Answer 3

If the Bible says it
I believe it
His word cannot lie;
If it's written in the Bible
I'll believe it till I die.

If the Bible says the streets are paved with gold then they are.
I don't know about the Crystal Sea as I haven't studied that much. (yeah, shame on me)
I do know the Bible says we will be away from the evils and problems of this world and will be around the throne of the Lord forever and ever. That's what matters.

Answer 4

To the jewish mind of Jesus' time heaven was not a fixed, unchanging, geographical location, somewhere other than this world. Heaven is the realm where things are as God intends them to be. The place where things are under the rule and reign of God. And that place can be anywhere, anytime, with anybody. We can choose to live under the rule and reign of God and invite heaven to earth right now by doing things such as "caring for widows and orphans." We should be less focused on going to heaven and more focused on bringing heaven here

Answer 5

i think before the bible was translated to english it said the streets would be paved with invisable gold, it sounds sketchy, i know but i havent been there so im not sure. i think heaven will be as real as the world is around us, we will be able to walk and talk with the saints of the past, we will be able to worship god at his feet. the onbly thing i know for sure is that no matter what my most extravogant thought of it is, it will be i million times greater.
it kinda sux you want out of this world so bad though, im sure there are a billion reasons God wants you here to do good works in His name

Answer 6

I cant wait for the day, but I need lots of work to finish here on earth to be completely honest to make it up into the gates of heaven. We come from Royalty, so expect the best according to what you did here on earth you will have up in heaven. I know that what ever God gives me I will be happy, as long as I make it into heaven that's all that matters to me.

Answer 7

You can find out everything you want to know about heaven, just read your bible and study it as often as you can. It will tell you how to get to heaven and walk the streets of pure gold. Good luck and God bless you.

Answer 8

I think heaven is what you believe it will be. Aryell, your vision of heaven is exactly what I've imagined heaven to be, with every kind of dancing there, so I could read and dance. That would be heaven for me. Whatever you think heaven will look like is what it'll be like.

Answer 9

I don't know if it's literally like the way it is described in the bible. I think heaven is different for everyone. For me it would be filled with every single book that has been written and will be written.

Answer 10

Jesus was a carpenter, I would assume that Heaven is both incredible and humble at the same time. Hope that makes sense.

Answer 11

If the streets are paved with gold, then gold must be plentiful......therefore, inherently decreasing its value. So, the gold will basically hold as much value as the asphalt that we use today.
