Answer 1

Heaven will be out of this world. This world is under a curse. The environment is under a curse(In the Millenium, when Christ rules, there will be no earthquakes, hurricanes, tital waves, tornadoes). The animals are under a curse(in the millenium the lion and the lamb will lie down together(today the lion will eat the lamb). Our bodies are under a curse(they are subject to the law of entropy...they get old and weak and sick and eventually die). We also have an evil nature inside of us. This nature is responsible for depression, much of our fear and much of our anger and bitterness. For those who get to heaven, the curse will be lifted. We will get new bodies, resurrection bodies similar to Christs' body after he rose from the dead. They will be supernatural bodies and yet also physical bodies. The bodies will be able to fly and go through walls and solid objects and yet we won't be spirits. They will be physical bodies that can eat food. They will no longer have an evil nature so all the anger, bitterness, depression and fear will be gone. Revelations 21:4 says " and He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall no longer be any death; there shall no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away." Most people think of heaven in terms of a physical Shangri-La, and so it is. But even more important, heaven will be a psychological Shangri-La. Think of all the fear, anxiety and even depression that you experience everyday over events you’ll have to deal with that day or in the near future or whenever. Think of the problems you’re dealing with on your job or in relationship….marital, family and friends. All fear, anxiety and depression will be gone(that is part of the old sin nature which we will no longer have in our new bodies), as will the problems themselves.
There will be no sun. God is light. The light of God will illuminate heaven. But it will be a different kind of light. Light illuminates and it gives a certain amount of warmth. The light of God will illuminate also. But the light of God will emanate love. The suns rays do not emanate love. But when one is in Gods light, he(or she) will actually feel the love of God. If when a person died, the angels came to take him to heaven and they blindfolded him and plugged up his ears so he couldn't see anything or hear anything, he would still know when he entered heaven. He'd know because he would be able to feel the love of God and all the anger, bitterness, fear, worry and stress would be gone. Gods light emanates love.
1Corinthians 2:9 says "However, as it is written: No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"—
What does that mean? It says "no eye hath seen". I've been to some pretty beautiful places on this planet. Yet that verse says that my eyes haven't seen anything that compares with heaven.
It says "no ear hath heard". I've talked to people who have said that they have been to shangra-la type paradises or even said they had visions of such places and described them to me. But even those don't measure up to heaven.
It says "no mind has conceived". In other words, go home some time, lay down on your bed and close your eyes and try to conceive what paradise would be like if you were given omnipotent power to create it just as you please. Even that would fall short of heaven. That verse says that your finite mind couldn't even think of what heaven was like.
The colors in heaven will be unreal. It won't be just the few colors of the spectrum. There will be thousands of colors we've never seen before. The sounds will be unreal. There will be musical sounds that no man has ever heard on earth. There will be thousands of diamond like gems of many colors that reflect light.
2Corinthians 12:2-4 says " I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter". This was Paul the Apostle taken up to heaven. He said it was unlawful to speak what he saw because anything he would have said about heaven would have fallen short of a true description of the real heaven. An accurate picture of heaven is incapable of being put into words and any description of heaven always falls short, including the one I am giving now. Psalms 16:11 says " Thou wilt make known to me the path of life; In Thy presence is fulness of joy; In Thy right hand there are pleasures forever".
Heaven is a place where we will worship God but I don't think we will just be up there sitting on a cloud playing a harp. We'll all have a function there and we'll enjoy what we are called to work at.
I see people everywhere making plans for social life, plans for dating, plans for education, plans for marraige, plans for career, plans for children,plans for buying a home, plans for retirement and plans for everything under the sun. But when it comes to eternity, there are no plans. Their attitude is just "I'll cross that bridge when I come to it", never thinking that when you come to it, it's already too late. Since we're going to spend about 70 years here and forever in eternity and since death and what's on the other side is certain sooner or later, I'd say plans for eternity is more important than temporal plans. You do not want to miss heaven. Even if there was no hell(and I assure you, there is a hell) you would still not want to miss heaven. John 3:16 says"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life". Unfortunately, as simple as salvation may be, there is going to be a whole lot of people who miss heaven.

Answer 2

I think it means we are supposed to respect the moral wisdom and guidance of our mothers (and/or our wives, or grandmas, whoever the moms are in the household and in the community), as they are usually the primary shaper of a child's developing moral consciousness and therefore can be determinant in whether a little child at her feet will grow into an adult who is destined for heaven or who may not make it. Unfortunately, some moms in today's world have abdicated this responsibility (I live in the West, in America, where many moms and dads have abdicated responsibility in teaching morality to their children, and in fact, many actively teach their children to be dishonest, selfish, and unjust to others) and so I don't think every mom will make it to heaven just for being a mom. By the way, what makes one a "qualified scholar"? And, the hadith story Tru Blu tells is interesting. It demonstrates the unwillingness of men to respect and listen to women, even when a Holy Prophet himself says it should be done!!! The man would not accept truth from Muhammad, but refused the answer until Muhammad finally gave in to tell the man what he already believed and wasn't willing to change his belief in no matter that Allah wished for him to do so. I wonder what other truths might have been rejected because they did not fit the male expectation that Allah exists to aggrandize the male ego and make women subservient to men. Edit: Gehenna, no, as I say, I am an American. I have simply observed the revolting anti-Christian anti-moral behavior of my nation and call it for what it is.

If you're looking for details...

Revelations 21:10-27

"And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and shewed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

having the glory of God: her light was like unto a stone most precious, as it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal:

having a wall great and high; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

on the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

And he that spake with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

And the city lieth foursquare, and the length thereof is as great as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs: the length and the breadth and the height thereof are equal.

And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.

And the building of the wall thereof was jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto pure glass.

The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;

the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.

And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the several gates was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God the Almighty, and the Lamb, are the temple thereof.

And the city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine upon it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp thereof is the Lamb.

And the nations shall walk amidst the light thereof: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory into it.

And the gates thereof shall in no wise be shut by day (for there shall be no night there):

and they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it:

and there shall in no wise enter into it anything unclean, or he that maketh an abomination and a lie: but only they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life. "


It's a place where RIGHTEOUSNESS DWELLS.

2 Peter 3:13

" But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. "



1 Corinthinas 2:9

"but as it is written, Things which eye saw not, and ear heard not, And which entered not into the heart of man, Whatsoever things God prepared for them that love him. "
