Does anyone think there are animals in Heaven? Jesus comes back on a white horse so I think there is....
Ecc 3:20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
Ecc 3:21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
Ecc 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
The spirit of people go upward for it shall return to God no matter how a person acted on earth, so the spirit is not part of anybody in the afterlife, but the soul lives on forever.
The spirit of the animals goes downward, and they return to dust.
God gave mankind salvation not to the animals.
Joh 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Joh 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Isa 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
2Pe 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
This heaven and earth shall pass away for it has been tainted with sin, which the heavens shall melt with fervent heat, and the earth shall be burned up, and all the works of it.
Jesus went away to create a new heaven and earth where sin has never been, and sin will never be.
And the former earth shall not be remembered, nor come to mind, for it is associated with sin and rebellion, and the angels and saints shall remember nothing prior to the New Jerusalem, and will feel as if they have always been there and nowhere else.
So at the new earth a person would not remember their mom and dad, and would not remember their pets, for then they would remember the earth.
The saints will remember nothing of the earth, and what went on there.
And there is no need to have pets for our relationship is only with God, the saints, and the angels.
But that does not mean there is not animals there at the new earth as the case of Jesus riding a white horse, and the saints follow Him on white horses, but horses from earth would not be there.
But I believe these horses are a temporary manifestation, and will cease, but I do not know.
Rev 4:4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
Rev 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
Rev 4:6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
Rev 4:7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
Rev 4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
But there is the 24 elders, and the four beasts.
