What do you think Heaven will look like?

Answer 1

Heaven is home the place where our spirit, our soul resides before this life and a resting and rejuvenating stop before we begin Earthly life again a new.

When we are in "Heaven" we exist in our pure spirit form and have shed our Earthly persona and the blinders or veil that has kept us from seeing the world and the universe in it's true form.

It is a place filled with unconditional love and a higher form of understanding and total compassion.

We examine our past life and learn from all we have experienced, the so called bad and good. We incorporate all these experiences into our own energy or soul and prepare for our next journey on Earth or else where in service.

We are assisted and guided by souls who have reached greater levels of enlightenment but all the final decisions our made by us in our spirit form. This is the true meaning of "free will".

Where we go, how we proceed and the decision about what we would like to experience and learn are made by us with the unconditional loving guidance of other souls.

We leave "Home", heaven we journey here and when our Earthly existence is done we return Home.

The express "Home is where the Heart is" now takes on much deeper meaning as our true Heart of Hearts is our soul essence that which makes us truly part of the Divine

Answer 2

Revelation 21 describes Heaven. Did you know that The New City, New Jerusalem will be brought down from Heaven to the renewed, restored earth by God at Jesus' Second Coming? That now, when we die and are in Christ, our Spirits go to the Intermediate Heaven and when we are Resurrected, we go to eternal Heaven which is The New Jerusalem and renewed earth. So, man's life started in the perfect earth, in Paradise, in the Garden of Eden and we end up in the renewed, restored, perfected earth also!! Read Revelation! God bless

Answer 3

It will look the way I had always supposed it would be. Just as everyone sees some different beauty in things today (think of a red flower and it'll be different than what I think of) everyone will see Heaven in a different way. I hope it looks like what you expected it to look like.

Answer 4

Heaven is an actual place, in an actual location, designed by God with people in mind.

Beings have traveled to and from heaven, including Christ (John 1:32; 6:33; Acts 1:2), angels (Matt. 28:2; Rev. 10:1), and humans (2 Cor. 12:2; Rev. 11:12).

Jesus, speaking as the bridegroom to his beloved bride, said to us, "I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am you may be also." Heaven is that place.

The New Earth, where the heavenly city will be brought down to and relocated, will be a vastly improved form of the present earth and will have much in common with it—light, water, trees and fruit (Rev. 21:1-2), people and animals (Rev. 6:2-8; 19:11). The New Heavens and Earth is actually the eternal state, whereas the heaven we go to when we die is the intermediate state. So it is the New Heavens and Earth where we will live forever as resurrected children of God. It's important to remember this, since people often think as if the heaven we go when we die is exactly where we'll live forever. It isn't. The return of Christ and the resurrection of believers is followed by the resurrection of the heavens and earth. That's where we will live forever, as physical-spiritual beings in a physical-spiritual universe.

As a new car is a better version of an old car—but with the same essential components that make a car a car (four wheels, engine, transmission, steering wheel, etc.)—the New Earth will be a far better version of the old earth, with the same essential components. Heaven will exist in the realm of the New Earth and will therefore be very earthly in its properties. Since it is not only the dwelling place of God, but is fashioned by God to be populated by people, the present heaven is also people-friendly, designed with their God-given desires in mind. (No child can get excited about a heaven that isn't physical.)

The New Earth

What we usually think of when we hear "Heaven" is the intermediate state. That's where we go when we die. It's the place we'll live until the resurrection. But it's not the place we'll live forever. That place, where God will come down to dwell with his people, is called The New Earth (Revelation 21:1-3).

Our minds rarely go to the eternal state, where we'll spend eternity...where we'll live forever after the culminating event of human history that's linked to Christ's return—our resurrection. We'll reign over a resurrected universe, centered on a resurrected earth, with its capital city the resurrected Jerusalem. Carefully read Revelation 21-22 and many other passages, and you'll discover life on a new earth described in familiar ways. We will eat, drink, work, play, worship, discover, invent, travel, etc. The references to "nations" on the new earth suggests civilizations will be resurrected, including human cultures with distinctive ethnic traits (Revelation 21:24, 26). There will be resurrected nature and human culture. Together these elements combine to distinguish the eternal state, where God will come down and live with his people. So the word "Heaven" can be properly used of both the intermediate state, where we go when we die, and the future state, where we'll live as resurrected people. That's why I use it to refer to both in this handout.

Books on Heaven often fail to distinguish between the intermediate and eternal states, largely because the same word "Heaven" is used of both. The same word can be used of God's different dwelling places, but we need to keep clear in our minds the major differences between them. In my book on heaven, when referring to the present Heaven, where believers go when we die, I often use the term "intermediate Heaven" or "third Heaven," which Paul used of the place he'd been taken (2 Corinthians 12:2). I refer to the New Earth as just that, or I call it the eternal or "ultimate" Heaven.

The New Earth as a physical place isn't an invention of short-sighted human imagination. Rather, it's the invention of a transcendent God, who chose not only to make physical man to live on a physical earth, but chose to become a man on that same earth, that he might redeem man and earth, to enjoy forever the company of men in a world made for them—a world called The New Earth (Isaiah 65:17; 66:22). It is that world that we are to be looking forward to (2 Peter 3:14).

Answer 9

actually it says in the bible.

Revelation 21
The New Jerusalem
1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

5He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."

6He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. 8But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

9One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." 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.
