A very wise woman told me that explaining Heaven is like teaching a worm how to use a cell phone :p

Various bible verses say that Heaven has been being developed to accommodate all whom are going to reach salvation over this 6,000 or so period of earthly time. One of my friends feels like Heaven is going to be some boring place where everyone is just eternally happy and there is nothing to do :p

My personal perspective on Heaven, is that it functions like a central realm to a multitude of different realities we get to live in as we choose; like we will never run out of things to do, things to learn, skills to acquire and more and more choices for ambitious endeavors will forever be created. Like when one lifetime period is completed to your liking, God will just create more and more for us to live in forever.

I was enlightened with the fact that there is indeed dancing, singing, and feasting in Heaven - I mean a lot of Earthly food is good, imagine Heavenly food! xD

We also have spiritual " forms " not sure what they'll look like or be like, but if our physical bodies are like the image of God, I'm guessing our spiritual forms aren't some completely strange and outlandish figure :p There are angels which aren't always winged humanoids - but rather take on various forms at their will. Now there are two different types of angelic beings; an angel is simply some type of life form from Heaven, as opposed to one set spiritual species. God was even referenced as in angel in the bible, but we know that God is an authority above the angels. It's like how humans are called earthlings - but dogs cats and other creatures of the earth are considered earthlings as well.

There are animals and creatures in Heaven I would think, because the weird connection humans have with living animal creatures on earth is very profound indeed. I always wondered why God made it so animals and humans bond as we do; I mean a loyal pet will adore and love you so much and you to that pet. Animals don't give much, we're usually investing hundreds of dollars and countless hours to care for them, and all they do is lick our toes and demand a belly rub :p

I believe there will be all sorts of recreational things like sports, arts, all sorts of stuff to explore and do, with our souls never getting enough :D new sciences to learn, new physics to explore. I was told something about there being festivities held on every star - and there are bajigillions of stars in our little known universe.

I've heard this notion that there will be new colors, new smells, beautiful sounds that are so pleasing to hear.

Relationship Wise -

I figure there are no romantic relationships because everyone functions like a big heavenly family; the best kind of love is that of family anyway. No lust or sex, as sex isn't even necessary for anything, no liquor or drugs ( like those will be better than heaven anyway lol?) lots of happiness and laughter amongst all the brother's and sisters, and angels, and God and it is like this forever and ever!

Personally -

I want a cool chic styled house, with a pet dragon lol, wings, just a huge art studio room with a like beach view ha ha. I wanna learn to play a bunch of different instruments, ( I had the strangest dream a couple years ago that I was sitting on this balcony thing in the clouds, playing my alto sax...) I want to get really skilled at some sport up there, and idk I'm so excited for whatever else lol. The angels are probably chuckling at me like, " Wow that's a really small list, does she even know what's up here."

No :(

Lol, but I pray so hard that one day I will know!

I believe I am 100% on the right track to getting there, but then I constantly worry I'm offending God or sinning or not following as much as I really could be. As far as basics though, I followed the big points of keeping with the everlasting covenant, that is, receiving the blood and body of Jesus ( Passover,) I got baptized again in the name of the Holy Spirit, ( I was only baptized in the name of the Father ( Jahova) and Son ( Jesus) before,) I pray everyday that God takes all rebellion and arrogance from my soul, and sculpts me into someone he would love to call his daughter ^^

I gave up a lot of sin - drinking, lusting, leaving friends who tempted me, I'm such a different person now and I love what God has built me into.

I can't help thinking that I still don't deserve Heaven though, but I'll keep working at it anyway! Not just for heaven either, just because I love God and I know when I do right by him it makes him happy xD!

What do you think heaven is like?

What do you want to do there?

How would you live, ( house, clothing style, etc,)? What types of things would you do?

How do you feel about your spiritual situation? Are you certain you've gained salvation?

Thanks xD

Randy Alcorn has an excellent book called "Heaven". He pulls out all of the Bible chapters/verses that concern the New Heaven and the New Earth and studies them in great detail. I highly recommend the book.

Heaven is with God.
Heaven is being in the presence of your maker.
Heaven is like total home.
....Way past what we could see or think or imagine.
WOW!
It is a total eclipse ecstasy as we know it.
"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard".......why? Because those senses are not adequate.
I'd be like looking at the sun for an extended period of time.

Heaven is going to be the new earth. The new Jerusalem will be on one side of the new earth giving
light and the sun will be on the other side giving light. There wont be any night, since no one will
get tired.

I guess there's no harm is speculating, but I don't wonder what Heaven is like. I just focus on trying to maintain a close relationship with God and let the rest take care of itself.

Read Heaven by Randy Alcorn. It gives an idea of what Heaven might be like using biblical references throughout. Good book. :)

No worries, mate.

"Heaven" is an excellent book but very comprehensive. Take your time to study it.

I agree - it's definitely a heavy hitter. When I first read it, I read it in almost one or two sittings, which was reading it a bit too fast. I look forward to the day I get there.

One or two sittings? Wow! It took me much longer because I had to think about it so much. I read non-fiction a lot slower than fiction though, especially dense theology books. I found it to be life-changing and I don't say that about most books.

You know that feeling you get when you are exited, that feeling you get with your first kiss, those emotions that explode inside of you and make you even see the world in a different color? Well that is not it!

It is way much more than that, it is an explosion of ecstasy an explosion of Love something we could never experience.

Would like to share something that a saint once said about the Holy Spirit overshadowing the blessed virgin Mary, I do not know it word for word so I will paraphrase.

"When the Holy Spirit came over the Blessed Virgin Mary it was an explosion of passion and ecstasy so big that Her heart bled tree drops of blood. Those drops of blood fell to her womb and conceived Jesus."


I know it is not biblical but it is beautiful, and this is as close to heaven a person has ever been on earth.

I think people nowadays have a very narrow minded view of sex, God made it for married people who are in love. People have just turned it into a joke, something to lust for, which was never Gods intention. I think making love is going to be a lot different in heaven, I think only married couples will be allowed, also a lot of men and women have gone through their whole life without ever having a single kid. Also im sure there will be no more pain for childbirth.
