Once you get there, you'll have to wait a long time to be admitted because all the people who aren't being let in will be clamoring and complaining. Once inside, they will explain the ground rules to you, about not spitting off the edge and they will tell you that no, there are no bunnies or eggs in heaven and they have no idea why they are such a big part of Easter. Then you will learn that you will never again get to eat that delicious steak or enjoy a wonderful Caesar salad because plants and animals, not having souls, do not get to go to heaven. Then you will be told that there are no cars because there is no gas, there are no toys because there is no plastic (which also comes from oil), no television, no gambling no books, no computers... In fact, there isn't even fire. There is the sun, but when it gets dark, there is no way to light anything so everyone goes to sleep at sunset.

So they explain to you that heaven consists mostly of talking to all the fine believers that are also in heaven, and watching the sun rise and set every day. For an eternity.

So when you beg him if please, PLEASE they will reincarnate you or kill your soul or send you to hell or something, anything other than an eternity in heaven, they will chuckle and ask you if you learned your lesson about living your life based on promises of the afterlife. And when you not your head sniffling and crying, they say resolutely, "Unfortunately, this is one of those lessons where you never get a chance to benefit from it. Enjoy your stay. I know we will have you here for a very long time."

What will the ultimate Heaven be like?

Heaven is both a country (Luke 19:12; Heb. 11:14-16) and a city (Heb. 11:16; 12:22; 13:14; Rev. 21:12). A country is typically a large territory of various geographies, with citizens of diverse cultures and vocations, sometimes even languages, under one government that provides a common identity. A city is a place of many residencesin near proximity. A city's inhabitants are subject to the common government. Cities usually have varied and bustling activity, community events, education, arts, and visitors.

Heaven is and will be a place of great beauty, both natural created beauty and architecture, including streets of gold and buildings of pearls and emeralds and precious stones (Rev. 21:19-21).Heaven will have the advantages we associate with earthly cities, without the disadvantages (e.g. crime, pollution, corruption).

Heaven's gates will always be open. People will travel in and out, some bringing treasures into the city (Rev. 21:24-25; 22:14). Travel outside the city shows that the city is not the whole of heaven, but merely its center. The great city is the capital of an endless empire, called a heavenly country (Heb. 11:16). There is a universe outside the city's gates, to which its citizens have free access. Cities are characterized by visitors coming in and occupants going out for various reasons.

What will we do in heaven?

Rest from our labors on earth (Rev. 14:13). We will experience relaxation and leisure, freedom from the frustrations of tedious and burdensome labor.

Eat and drink and celebrate at the table with Christ and the redeemed saints from earth, communicating and fellowshipping and storytelling and rejoicing with them (Matt. 8:11; Luke 22:29, 30; Rev. 19:9). Communication, dialogue, corporate worship, and other relationship-building interactions all take placein heaven (Rev. 1-22). Saints and angels and God himself will interact together, building and deepening their relationships. "On this mountain the LORD Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine—the best of meats and the finest of wines" (Isaiah 25:6). How good will that meal be?

Worship God (Rev. 5:13-14; 7:9-12). Multitudes of God's people, of every nation, tribe, people, and language, will gather to sing praise to God for his greatness, wisdom, power, grace, and mighty work of redemption.

Will heaven be an eternal naptime or vacation? Or will we have activities and responsibilities?

The idea of endlessly floating on clouds doing nothing but strumming a harp is nowhere in Scripture.

In heaven we will serve God (Rev. 7:15). Service is not passive, but active. It involves fulfilling responsibilities, carrying out duties, expending effort, and having energy and creativity todo work well. (This will be work with lasting accomplishment, unhindered by decay and fatigue, and enhanced by unlimited resources.) Heaven's labor will be refreshing, productive and unthwarted, without futility and frustration. It will be like the work Adam and Eve did in the Garden of Eden (Gen. 2:15), before sin brought the curse on the ground, with its thorns (Gen. 3:17-19). Our work will be more purposeful in light of Christ's redemptive work and the glory it will have brought.

In heaven we will exercise leadership and authority, making important decisions. We will reign with Christ in heaven (2 Tim. 2:12; Rev. 3:21; 22:5). This implies specific delegated responsibilities for those under our leadership (Luke 19:17-19).We judge or rule over the world and we judge and rule over angels (1 Cor. 6:2-3).

I really have no idea, I can't even imagine how awesome heaven is!
But how I see it is you wake up, and you hop on your horse and ride bareback, galloping cross the clouds...you just never stop... and the Lord is with you all the time. Just as He is now.
Thats how I like to see it, because that is how my perfect day would be! :)

wake up in the morning pat Marilyn Monroe on her **** and tell her to make me some blueberry pancakes. Then you'd go play Frisbee golf with Jim Morrison and Elvis. Get into a fist fight with Jim Morrison because he says keeping score is too bourgeoisie...

Id like to imagine that we'll have even greater gifts and talents than on earth, using them to glorify God. Lots of singing and dancing too!

How can anyone alive answer this question without doubt. Jesus said: In my father's house there are many rooms.

We can only imagine a place where violence is non existant, you can't have a jealous though, or there is nothing you need. we can only imagine...

I think it would be a lot like getting into a nice, hot bath. Feels great when you first get in, but after you get used to it, it ain't so hot!
