This blog was started to develop interest in my book, Heaven Is Beyond Imagination. Everything I have written has come from the research I did to write that book. It is all contained in Heaven Is Beyond Imagination. So I encourage you to get a copy and share it with many others. In this time of uncertainty, people need to be encouraged that their eternal future is certain and far from just being certain, it is a glorious fulfillment of all the hope we sense but is unfulfilled in this world. Henceforth I am planning to write articles about dealing with this life in the context of what God has shown us about our eternal future rather than writing to unveil heaven. For my final heaven unveiling post I will share with you a brief summary of all we have seen about heaven.
Heaven is filled with love. God loves you more than any love you have ever known. His love permeates all of heaven. Everyone there loves everyone else. Everyone is accepted as he or she is, no one is judged, all greet each other warmly and radiantly. Jesus in omnipresent, meaning He is present with everyone all the time and is eager to embrace you, love on you, and bless you. It is this love, peace, and acceptance that caused all of the eyewitnesses to heaven not to want to come back.
But in addition, heaven is beautiful. The flowers are gorgeous and exhibit a life more than flowers on earth do. They rotate their heads as you pass by as if looking at you. The flowers hum hymns of praise as does everything there. The colors are richer than those on Earth and there are more colors, some indescribable in Earth terms. The trees are magnificent and their fruit, which is always available, melts in your hand and mouth to a delicious combination of honey, peach juice, and pear juice. It is delicious and the juice on one’s hand and face just evaporates. You never get dirty or soiled in heaven.
There are mountains with something like snow on them that never melts even though the temperature is always comfortable. There are hills and valleys, rivers, lakes, and seas, and they are all more beautiful than anything on Earth. There is no weather there and no clouds, but the sky will be beautiful with dancing colors like the aurora.
The water has healing properties and never gets anything wet like water does here. The waters have different properties in different places, but all contribute to your healing and fitness for heaven. In one place the waters of the river wash away all your bad memories of the past. Here we can repent of our wrong and be forgiven, at which point all record of the wrong is wiped from the record in heaven. But on Earth we still have memories of the wrong we have done. Those memories will be wiped away in the waters of heaven so nothing will hinder your full enjoyment of everything there and all the love and acceptance there.
The architecture of the buildings and mansions exceed anything you have seen on Earth. Your mansion will be built exactly to the way that is best for you whether it is a small condo or a large mansion capable of entertaining thousands. There is the City of the New Jerusalem, but there are also communities like suburbs and villages. People from other cultures will have dwellings more like those they enjoyed on Earth but all will be fabulous and perfectly constructed.
There is no money in heaven, but everyone will have work to do in keeping with the gifts and talent they had on Earth. You will just do your work as a free gift of love to God and to other people whom you will bless. In turn you will have everything you need and desire at no cost.
There are many surprising things for fun there you can’t even imagine here. You will even be able to enjoy some of the things you have enjoyed here when you get there. But you can never get hurt. You can swim and never drown, you can ski and not hurt yourself, you can fall from a tree but come down like a cotton ball or just float in the air.
There is beautiful praise music everywhere and from everything, including choirs of angels and of people. You might hear Johann Sebastian Bach on a magnificent organ. Think how much you can master the instrument you play when you have all eternity to practice!
Whatever you do, you will never get tired and need to rest. You will never sleep because it is never night there. Heaven is lighted by the radiant glory of God and Jesus. But you can relax on your porch or anywhere any time you like.
It short you can look forward to the best life you have ever had, far beyond anything you could imagine. You won’t want to come back, no matter how much we miss you!
