The late Harry Rimmer penned the following letter to Charles E. Fuller of the Old Fashioned Revival Hour, shortly before his death.
"Next Sunday you are to talk about heaven. I am interested in that land because I have held a clear title to a bit of property there for over 50 years. I did not buy it. It was given to me without money and without price; but the Donor purchased it for me at a tremendous sacrifice.
"I am not holding it for speculation. It is not a vacant lot. For more than half a century I have been sending materials, out of which the greatest Architect of the universe has been building a home for me, which will never need remodeling or repairs because it will suit me perfectly, individually, and will never grow old.
"Termites can never undermine its foundation for it rests upon the Rock of Ages. Fire cannot destroy it. Floods cannot wash it away. No lock or bolts will ever be placed upon the doors, for no vicious person can ever enter that land, where my dwelling stands, now almost completed and almost ready for me to enter in and abide in peace eternally, without fear of being rejected.
"There is a valley of deep shadow between this place where I live, and that to which I shall journey in a very short time. I cannot reach my home in that city without passing through that valley. But I am not afraid because the best Friend I ever had went through the same valley long, long ago and drove away all its gloom. He stuck with me through thick and thin since we first became acquainted 55 years ago, and I hold His promise in printed form, never to forsake me or leave me alone. He will be with me as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, and I shall not lose my way because He is with me.
"I hope to hear your sermon on heaven next Sunday, but I have no assurance I shall be able to do so. My ticket to heaven has no date marked for the journey, no return coupon and no permit for baggage. Yes, I am ready to go, and I may not be here while you are talking next Sunday evening, but I will meet you there some day."

I can't say no they won't be there, but the Bible definitely tells us they can't harm - the lamb will lay down with the lion. The virus, bacteria and fungus that cause illnesses are sin and sin will not be there for sure. The water of life is in heaven, but ocean life or sea life as we know it may not be there. Plants will be in heaven with many trees but probably different from what we know.

Justin's answer had an exciting element with the potential element and all yet I see a concern. one might desire to argue that the potential isn't long previous to an after life, that's purely transferred into kinetic potential that would want for use to assist fertilize flora and the soil. Or that the micro organism that feeds on the ineffective physique is receiving the potential. on the subject count to hand, definite, I do have faith in an afterlife. With the comments of ghosts and different unusual issues in this international like that, i hit upon it no longer hassle-free to have faith that there is no longer something when you die. it may't be heaven and hell, in line with possibility you in basic terms exchange right into a ghost and you're life in the previous will verify in case you're a foul ghost (poltergeist, demon, in spite of you call them) or a good ghost (dad or mum angels etc), yet i do no longer comprehend and neither does each physique else. in the event that they say they do comprehend, then they're full of cr@p. Like Andre gide stated "have faith people who're in seek of certainty, doubt people who locate it"

My pastor says that heaven is only for humans because humans are the only life forms that have souls. I'm not sure if I agree with him on that one. Why would God exclude the majority of created forms from eternity? I sincerely hope that I will see some of my pets again.

After life is meant for both humans, plants and animals, which is the after the great tribulation people and animals will leave together without any harm, no more sorrow and peace will reign instead which is called the new heaven and new earth

No. I do not believe it will only be humans in the afterlife. Let's not forget about other universes with other beings on it's planets. We may find that beings we refer to as "aliens" will be in heaven as well.

I believe it is just for humans because I don't know of other life forms having accountability or a conscience. Also Jesus never spoke of any but men entering.

All things evolve to higher species, Human beings never go to Heaven or Hell but undergo the sufferings in this world, or enjoy the fruits of their good deeds in the earth itself in their next birth. If they had realized their True self then there won't be any birth or death. (I believe in rebirths.) nagarajan.

Why wouldn't it include everything? Didnt God make everything? Especially Dogs, if you own one you know why.
