A place or state of bliss, felicity, or delight: the dwelling place of the Deity and the joyful abode of the blessed dead: a spiritual state of everlasting communion with God: the expanse of space that seems to be over the earth like a dome : FIRMAMENT -- usually used in plural: the field or sphere of an interest or activity: a place or condition of utmost happiness.

Heaven is The abode of God, the angels and the spirits of the righteous after death; the place of existence of the blessed after mortal life.

Heaven is Eternal life with God; communion of life and love with the Trinity and all the blessed. Heaven is the state of supreme and definitive happiness, the goal of the deepest longings of humanity.

"The Heavens" are the sky, the celestial sphere, or outer space.
(NIV Exhustive Concordance) - Hebrew: sky, air, starry, horixon, in midair, skys above.

Paradise: an intermediate place or state where the righteous departed await resurrection and judgment.

Eden: any place of complete bliss and delight and peace the abode of God and the angels.

three heavens: (1) the atmosphere surrounding earth, that is, the sky (Acts 1:9-11); (2) space, including our solar system and the observable stars and galaxies (Genesis 1:14-18; Psalm 8:3); and (3) the location of God's throne, from where He governs the entire universe, called "the third heaven" (2 Corinthians 12:2). Solomon said: "God is in heaven and you are on earth" (Ecclesiastes 5:2). In the Bible, the context usually tells us which of the three "heavens" is being discussed.

Heaven is the dwelling place of God and for those who go there will have a place of everlasting bliss. Scripture implies three heavens, since "the third heaven" is revealed to exist (2 Cor. 12:2). It is logical that a third heaven cannot exist without a first and second. Scripture does not describe specifically the first and second heaven. The first, however, apparently refers to the atmospheric heavens of the fowl (Hos. 2:18) and clouds (Dan. 7:13). The second heaven may be the area of the stars and planets (Gen. 1:14-18). It is the abode of all.

Heaven is the eternal state of peace where the Father and the Son abide as One, and sing an eternal song of thanks and gratitude for their changeless love. Thoughts of a guilty past and similar future exist not in this timeless state.

We know first of all that Heaven is the spiritual realm in which the glory of God's presence is manifest, and in which dwell the angels of God, and all believers who have departed this wor

Ouuu i like this. lets see hmm all the wishes that never came true, you will be able to fufill them in heaven. You are going to live life opposite to what you have now. So if you were rich, your gonna be poor in heaven - vise versa. So be kind to those who are in needs. Then we are gonna live life backwards, so if you died at the age of 80, in heaven every year that passes you will celebrate your next 79th birthday 78,77,76... you get the point.

If you want a description of the heavenly Jerusalem, the future dwelling place of all believers, read Revelation chapters 21 and 22.
If you want to experience a foretaste of the Kingdom of God, you need to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. ( John 3:3,5,7; Ephesians 1:13,14; I Corinthians 2:7-16; Hebrews 6:4,5; 12:22-24)

Beautiful, full of light, full of love, full of songs, full of Believers praising God.
We are given descriptions of Heaven in the Bible. But I believe that there is so much to Heaven that it is absolutely undescribable in our language. It is so much more than our minds and hearts can even conceive.
I so look forward to being there one day with my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!

In Revelation chapter 21 verses 10- 27 states

"10And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. 11It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. 13There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. 14The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls. 16The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia[a]in length, and as wide and high as it is long. 17He measured its wall and it was 144 cubits[b] thick,[c] by man's measurement, which the angel was using. 18The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. 19The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.[d] 21The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass.

22I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. 24The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it. 25On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there. 26The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. 27Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life."

I picture people, animals, trees, stars, mountains with a waterfall, people laughing and talking over a huge feast. Then they go swimming, exploring, playing games, mountain climbing, exploring far off galaxies. The way it was supposed to be.

Wonderful place where we live in harmony. No pain no suffering. We are not limited by the laws of physics. Swooshing of the angel's wings, singing...having a perfect harmony. Presence of God. It is going to be amazing. : )

I don't believe in heaven but if it could exist, it wouldn't be noisy, filled only by peacefull sounds, smells, images and smooth things.
