Does the Bible say anywhere if animals go to Heaven too?

Question

I know there are animals in heaven. But I'm asking if the animals here on earth are the ones that go there. This is a serious question because I lost a pet who I loved a lot about 3 months ago and I'm still just heart-broken for him. It would help if I could believe I'd see him again.

Answer 1

I believe our family pets will have a special place in heaven

GENESIS 9: 14-17

When I gather the clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds, I shall recall the covenant between myself and you and every living creature, in a word all living things, and never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all living things. When the bow is in the clouds I shall see it and call to mind the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth, that is, all living things. `That' God told Noah, `is the sign of the covenant I have established between myself and all living things on earth.'

ISAIAH 11:6-9

And the wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed, their young ones shall lie down together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice's den. They shall not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

JOB 12:7-10

You have only to ask the cattle, for them to instruct you, and the birds of the sky, for them to inform you. The creeping things of earth will give you lessons, and the fish of the sea provide you an explanation: there is not one such creature but will know that the hand of God has arranged things like this! In his hand is the soul of every living thing and the breath of every human being!

PSALM 50:9-11

I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens, for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are mine.

PSALMS 50:10-11

For all forest creatures are mine already, the animals on the mountains in their thousands. I know every bird in the air, whatever moves in the fields is mine.

PSALM 136:25

...And who gives food to every creature. His love endures forever.

PROVERBS 12:10

A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal

ECCLESIASTES 3:19-21

Man's fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath, man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all come from dust and to dust all return. Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?


LUKE 12:6

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before god.

Isaiah 65:25 5 The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but dust will be the serpent's food. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain," says the LORD. (NIV) That clearly says there will be animals around. But, I've also read that we will not be with our spouses as married people, so if we won't be concerned about that I hardly think we will be concerned about fido in Heaven either. stardust

Genuine Peace and Harmony

Soon God will bring harmony to our earth. He promises a time when “the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters are covering the very sea.” (Isaiah 11:9) Yes, permanent peace will at last prevail.

In fact, life on earth will experience a new type of harmony, for God will teach his loyal human subjects how to be good caretakers of their terrestrial home. He will even “conclude a covenant,” as it were, with all predatory beasts, causing them to live in peaceful submission to humans.—Hosea 2:18; Genesis 1:26-28; Isaiah 11:6-8.

This hope is not wishful thinking. Indeed, in his Sermon on the Mount alone, Jesus referred to it twice. First, he said: “Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth.” Then, when showing his disciples how to pray, he said: “Our Father . . . , let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.” (Matthew 5:5; 6:9, 10) At the end of his life, Jesus summed up what that will mean for humans in one beautiful word—“paradise.” (Luke 23:43) Indeed, Jesus’ shed blood makes the hope of everlasting life in an earthly paradise a certainty!—John 3:16.

Answer 5

I really can't answer your question except to say that i sure do hope so. I have a dog that I love very much, and I know when the time comes for him to die that it'll be heart breaking for me. I'm so sorry you are going through this.

Answer 6

In Heaven you will be surrounded by all those you have loved and loved back. Animals are living too. I do not see why they would not be allowed to be by your side in Heaven. Especially since many animals keep many people happy and joyful in, without the animals, would be a dark and sad time.

Answer 7

If it does that that would been that there are more animals in heaven than humans for the number of animals that humankind kills everyday to feedthemselves on. Christians seem to think that animals don't have souls and therefore can't go to heaven. I don't know much about that and the Bible but my belief is that I you loved your dog that much....you will see him again.

Answer 8

You can believe....all things that have life return to God when they die,,so your pet is with God. I too, have lost some pets of mine down through the years and I know in my heart, we shall see them again. I can't give you a scripture that says your particular pet will go to Heaven, but I do believe that if any pets are mentioned as being in Heaven and we know they are,,then God will have our beloved pets there for us. But they won't belong to us anymore,,,if they ever did,,they will be free as you and me..no one owns anyone in Heaven,,,but we all belong to the family of God. I think you can safely believe you will see your pets again. I know I do and it gives me comfort.

Answer 9

I think all animals going to heaven with God? Please tell me. Which bible? What Bible says?

Answer 10

Did your pet accept Christ as his personal Lord and Savior? If so, he's in heaven. I expect that some evolutionists would think that this would be possible, but I'm a creationist, so I don't think so.
