What do you think would be LIFE IN HEAVEN like?

Question

I always ponder of how is it like to be in heaven? Would there be some kind of government there? What would be the role of angels? and of the saints? Are we going to work and study? Or would it be only to pray?
How would everyone interact? How would disagreements be resolved, if there is any? Is an emotion of love the one only existing? Would there be cryings there?
If others said that life in heaven is perfect, what would perfect means?
I have ask so many, what do you have in mind for the answers?

Please support your answer by quoting from the Holy Bible. Thank you.

But on second thought, just plain and honest answers from you will be better.

Answer 1

Read Revelations 4, 21 and 22.4:1 After these things I looked, and there was1 a door standing open in heaven!2 And the first voice I had heard speaking to me3 like a trumpet4 said: “Come up here so that5 I can show you what must happen after these things.” 4:2 Immediately I was in the Spirit,6 and7 a throne was standing8 in heaven with someone seated on it! 4:3 And the one seated on it was like jasper9 and carnelian10 in appearance, and a rainbow looking like it was made of emerald11 encircled the throne. 4:4 In12 a circle around the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on those thrones were twenty-four elders. They were13 dressed in white clothing and had golden crowns14 on their heads. 4:5 From15 the throne came out flashes of lightning and roaring16 and crashes of thunder. Seven flaming torches, which are the seven spirits of God,17 were burning in front of the throne 4:6 and in front of the throne was something like a sea of glass, like crystal.18

In19 the middle of the throne20 and around the throne were four living creatures21 full of eyes in front and in back. 4:7 The22 first living creature was like a lion, the23 second creature like an ox, the third creature had a face like a man’s, and the fourth creature looked like an eagle flying. 4:8 Each one of the four living creatures had six wings24 and was full of eyes all around and inside.25 They never rest day or night, saying:26

“Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God, the All-Powerful,27

Who was and who is, and who is still to come!”

4:9 And whenever the living creatures give glory, honor,28 and thanks to the one who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 4:10 the twenty-four elders throw themselves to the ground29 before the one who sits on the throne and worship the one who lives forever and ever, and they offer their crowns30 before his31 throne, saying:

4:11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God,

to receive glory and honor and power,

since you created all things,

and because of your will they existed and were created!”32
21:1 Then1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had ceased to exist,2 and the sea existed no more. 21:2 And I saw the holy city – the new Jerusalem – descending out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband. 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Look! The residence3 of God is among human beings.4 He5 will live among them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them.6 21:4 He7 will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will not exist any more – or mourning, or crying, or pain, for the former things have ceased to exist.”8

21:5 And the one seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new!” Then9 he said to me, “Write it down,10 because these words are reliable11 and true.” 21:6 He also said to me, “It is done!12 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the one who is thirsty I will give water13 free of charge14 from the spring of the water of life. 21:7 The one who conquers15 will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be my son. 21:8 But to the cowards, unbelievers, detestable persons, murderers, the sexually immoral, and those who practice magic spells,16 idol worshipers,17 and all those who lie, their place18 will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur.19 That20 is the second death.”

The New Jerusalem Descends

21:9 Then21 one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came and spoke to me,22 saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb!” 21:10 So23 he took me away in the Spirit24 to a huge, majestic mountain25 and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God. 21:11 The city possesses26 the glory of God; its brilliance is like a precious jewel, like a stone of crystal-clear jasper.27 21:12 It has28 a massive, high wall29 with twelve gates,30 with twelve angels at the gates, and the names of the twelve tribes of the nation of Israel31 are written on the gates.32 21:13 There are33 three gates on the east side, three gates on the north side, three gates on the south side and three gates on the west side.34 21:14 The35 wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them are the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

21:15 The angel36 who spoke to me had a golden measuring rod with which to measure the city and its foundation stones and wall. 21:16 Now37 the city is laid out as a square,38 its length and width the same. He39 measured the city with the measuring rod40 at fourteen hundred miles41 (its length and width and height are equal). 21:17 He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits42 according to human measurement, which is also the angel’s.43 21:18 The city’s44 wall is made45 of jasper and the city is pure gold, like transparent glass.46 21:19 The foundations of the city’s wall are decorated47 with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation is jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate,48 the fourth emerald, 21:20 the fifth onyx,49 the sixth carnelian,50 the seventh chrysolite,51 the eighth beryl,52 the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase,53 the eleventh jacinth,54 and the twelfth amethyst. 21:21 And the twelve gates are twelve pearls – each one of the gates is made from just one pearl! The55 main street56 of the city is pure gold, like transparent glass.

21:22 Now57 I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God – the All-Powerful58 – and the Lamb are its temple. 21:23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God lights it up, and its lamp is the Lamb. 21:24 The nations59 will walk by its light and the kings of the earth will bring their grandeur60 into it. 21:25 Its gates will never be closed during the day61 (and62 there will be no night there).63 21:26 They will bring the grandeur and the wealth64 of the nations65 into it, 21:27 but66 nothing ritually unclean67 will ever enter into it, nor anyone who does what is detestable68 or practices falsehood,69 but only those whose names70 are written in the Lamb’s book of life

Answer 2

According to revalations, we will not live in heaven.
God will create a new heaven and a new earth.
Jesus will return to earth, the dead in Christ will receive their new bodies first and those who are still alive will receive new bodies "in the twinkling of an eye". And, here, we shall remain with Him forever.

We started out here on a perfect earth and everything will go back to the way God designed it. His earth has been changed by sin, but, eventually His plans will be resumed.
He tells us that "all tears will be wiped away". Obviously, in the Garden of Eden there were no tears, no anger, no pain etc... In fact, before Adam and Eve ate from the tree of the "knowlege of good and evil" they did not know what those things were.

Cherubim worship God continually, but you and I would not be happy doing only that for all eternity. We will walk with God "in the cool of the day" like Adam and Eve did, but, we will have our independence to live in the garden the rest of the time. We will have dominion over the entire earth again, and be in charge of it, like they were. That will be our job and will keep us busy. I don't know exactly how they "tended the garden" because plants didn't die back then. But they were given jobs that were pleasurable to do, yet not necessary for life.

You and I have complex minds because of the free will God has given us. We will need things to occupy ourselves. But, it will all be great by definition. It's paradise! There will, of course, be no arguments because there will be nothing to fight over. We will each have everything. We will look like our individual selves, but the most perfect version of ourselves possible because everyone will be beautiful.

The angels will still have their place in heaven. It was made for them. But, they will be able to come here and we will be able to go there. This part should be really interesting, because they have been ministering to us all this time and we will be able to talk to them about everything that has happened. The bible says that angels watch us and learn.
This makes sense. We can value pleasure because we have learned about pain. And peace because we have felt fear. Etc... Angels can't feel pain or know what it is like to be without God, but they can watch us and see what it must be like. This helps them not to fall away from God as many angels have. There will be some very cool conversations when we all meet.

Answer 3

Nothing, because Heaven doesn't exist. It is superstition, just like the rest of the religious nonsense.

However, you do bring up a good point. Christianity, like other religions, are fairly vague in their descriptions of Heaven. This makes it even more obviously that it is just a baiting ploy and not much else. A good conman won't fill in too many details. That would be more details he has to keep straight and which the mark could detect discrepancies. Instead, he lets the mark fill in his own details. The mark will make a much more convincing scenario than the conman could ever think up. This is as it is with religion.

This is how empty threats of Hell and empty promises of Heaven keep the pews filled.

Answer 4

The model prayed that Jesus gave us...Do you remember this verse Your Kingdom come, your will be done. Well, what is that Kingdom?
It is a righteous government that will rule over mankind the way God intended for it to do originally.
Revelation 21: 3-4 says; With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with MANKIND, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them.  And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
JEHOVAH GOD will restore us to perfection thru education.
Adam was given the chance to live forever. But he chose not to obey. But just think if he would have obeyed. He would still be alive on this earth, and we would be enjoying peace and perfection, on a paradise earth. So my point is that God did not change his plans for mankind to live forever on earth.
there is much for you to learn if you are serious about the truth. Below is a link that you can check out.

Answer 5

I believe in several hierarchies of heaven. Each one closer to God. I believe in reincarnation. We choose to come back here, as this is the fastest dimension to learn in. like a big school. To make a long story short, as I've studied this in many different religions, Our future is our choice. in heaven, on earth. the choices we make determine our future. It's also our choice to be reincarnated. we can stay where we are and just do what we want, or we can be recycled and learn what we must to rise to the next level closer to the I AM.

Answer 6

According to bible, there's houses in Heaven. And goverment also which God is the leader. No cry, no pain, no angry. There are only happiness, peace, and good things. We will love our God only. not love to the other spirit. No marriage there.
Can't wait to be there.... ; >

Answer 7

There is no sadness, nor crying. We will worship and rejoice. No government is needed. We will walk down streets of gold. You will find more answers in the Bible, but some things are left to be seen.

Answer 8

Here's another question to answer all your questions: Who ever said we're not already there? Look around and recognize all the things promised about 'Heaven' and consider where we really are. Think about this for yourself and don't rely only on what others think.

Answer 9

No anguish or pain.Everything lasts forever.There's no dust viruses ,terrorists ,con-men or bullies.There wont be banks or governments.We will be living like the birds of the air except we won't die and their won't ever be predators.I'm just using my imagination you can use yours.
There's nothing in the Bible about Heaven,except Jesus said we don't marry.

Answer 10

well for me, there is a government in heaven WITHOUT POLITICS...


God made angels but God wanted more then robots.. he wanted his own creation to love him and worship him...

perfect means smooth sailing without hindrance?
