What Will We Do in Heaven for Eternity?

[Radius]

I Googled the topic, and came across this. And I, being an astronomy nut, would love if this were the case. I would like to hear what you think we will be doing in Heaven. Either way, whatever God has in store for us for eternity will be magnificent beyond our wildest dreams:

"We aren't told what would have resulted had Adam been obedient, but he was the steward of the entire planet and potentially beyond. What responsibility will be given us in eternity? Scripture only reveals that "His servants shall serve Him" (Revelation 22:3) in heaven and that he who has been "faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things" (Matthew 25:23). Astronomers now know the universe teems with billions of beautiful galaxies never before seen, and we wonder why God even created them. Never before have humans even known of them. There are many more galaxies than there are people who have ever been born. What is their purpose, and what is their future? Let me speculate.
In a marvelous passage on the glories of heaven we are told that we are already seated in "heavenly places" (Ephesians 2:6) positionally declared righteous in His eyes, and able to receive His favor and participate in His plan for the ages. Might this also have a physical meaning?
Has God created this immense universe as our "Garden" for eternity? Will we have access to the stars? The same passage teaches that "in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus" (v.7). Perhaps He will assign a galaxy to each of us, with the rewarding work of developing it for His glory. We will always be welcome in His omnipresence, experiencing fellowship unbroken by sin or distance. But maybe He will expect an occasional progress report on our galaxy. Just as Adam was to "tend" the Garden, we may have the privilege of exploring and showcasing His stellar handiwork and visiting the "gardens" of others, all the while fellowshipping with Him and giving Him credit for His creative majesty. We will have an eternity of time to explore seemingly infinite space, giving glory to Him in all, and pleasing Him with faithful service. At any rate, we can dream."

We will have access to every journey possible. Space travel, time travel, microscopic travel, and things beyond our wildest dreams. There will be relationships also, planting of gardens, building homes, raising children. There will be occupations where you are able to work at a job that satisfies and pays well. There will be abundant recreational activities, that is for sure.

raising children? You think women will continue to give birth in Heaven? I know for sure that isn't true. What did you mean by raising children?

Also you think we will continue to work a 9-5 and get paid money? "A job that pays well?" Where are you getting this may I ask?

 

[blue_ladybug]

I believe that heaven is the mirror image of this world, WITHOUT any of the evils, decay and corruption of course. Heaven is a world without any of the trials, tribulations, and horrors of this world. As tourist said, I think his comment about working at jobs that pay well is not necessarily monetary, but metaphorical. I think any job God gives us, if we do it well, God will "pay" us by giving us blessings, just as he does here on earth today. As far as raising children, I dont know about that, but there ARE alot of children in heaven, and SOMEONE needs to take care of them. This is just my personal opinion, it is not necessarily fact.

 

[2Thewaters]

First of all we will live on this planet in the New Jerusalem
The sun will be seven times brighter and the moon will be like the sun
the planet wont have oceans but much more land
it will be the center of the universe as God lives here now
(we are in heaven 1000 years then come down here and God recreates it all

we will travel by horse and carriage, walking, floating, flying or instant teleportation (examples of this in bible)
your choice.
There are millions of other planets with Gods children, he creates a new solar system every week or so and the family grows, we are the very first ones to be created, a millionth planet or so and he will be creating forever he is the eternal creator

the universe that we see is an isolation shell it is a pebble as compared to the universe outside
in this shell the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second that is to keep the devil and his angels out of the real universe

when Jesus comes this see-able egg shell made just for looks like wallpaper, which is about 30 billion light years in diameter will be rolled up like a scroll
and the real universe (dark matter to us) will be the real universe and we will be translated into it

our molecules will be ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE smaller atoms (that's why they are invisible to us) yet they can see us easily.

their matter appears dark because photons don't interact with it

our material is kind of like LEGO BLOCKS to them kind of temporary matter

each planet has a temple
they all worship on the same day wherever you go on Sabbath you can eat with them and worship with them.
Isaiah

we can see all light and it is instantaneous so we can see unlimited distance
our eyes will see atoms directly to galaxies and the radio waves to cosmic will all be visible
our hearing will be from 0 to 500,000 hz and everything will be beautiful

there will be THOUSANDS OF NEW COLORS since in our tiny bandwidth we see now we already have thousands of colors

lets see

we can build houses
there will be stores with shelves and on every planet whatever you need clothes harps violins they are on shelf and you just take what you need
no money
everything voluntary if you want to work you can

instruments will be harp piano organ trumpet flute and stringed instruments

holy spirit will dwell in us and we talk and he talks and will guide and explain everything everywhere

we need to make this connection now.

no rain the gardens are watered naturally at night underneath

you will not see all the millions of planets for some time and god creates new ones all the time

he is eternal creator.

you can play organ with Bach visit Moses build a temple with Sampson and sing with David all on the same day

politeness is required you don't just pop into view when visiting someone

you appear behind a bush then walk around
polite.

scaring people not allowed

there is no any meat to eat no TV and no electronics that is Babylon

all the good people who ever lived will be here at the same time, visit Adam

animals will be more intelligent and be like our children
horses dogs kitties lambs lions whatever you want

trees bear fruit

to cook you put water in pot, pray and water is boiling

no wood for fire needed
everything you do you pray and it happens God is our source of everything.


and you can travel space at any speed you want
float through a nebula or transport instantly

in god we live and move and have our being


lots more

tonight think about it

this is just a smidgin for God said

eye hath not seen nor ear heard all the wonderful things god has for us who will live eternally


no sleep needed we will always have energy

we have light around us and we will be like shining suns wherever we go for the lamb is our light and he surrounds us.

songs everywhere
travels hikes animals people

like the biggest family ever.


you will not be bored.

explore a black hole? no problem.

Can I be adopted by you?

I hope there is a place I can take you out to get an ice cream. This fashion:

Songs 8:1 If you were a baby, like my little sister nursing at her mother's breasts, and if I found you outside, I could kiss you, and no one would say it was wrong.

 

[2Thewaters]

I think neutrinos are their photons, they are not interactive since they are so much smaller... they pass right through our universe.

A question: Is it your birthday on february?

 

[2Thewaters]

There will be lots and lots of children raised up in the last day

in heaven there will be, as Jesus said, no more sex or NEW children.
been there done that.

but many children (abortions early stillbirths deaths and all like that there will be millions to adopt.

when they grow up no more children.

Angels will help raise the children for there are so many the saints cant take care of them all

at_22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
Mar_12:25 ForG1063 whenG3752 they shall riseG450 fromG1537 the dead,G3498 they neitherG3777 marry,G1060 norG3777 are given in marriage;G1061 butG235 areG1526 asG5613 the angelsG32 whichG3588 are inG1722 heaven.G3772

You must surely know how babies are made? Yeah, I wanna make the big bucks.

I am getting this from what God has said. You cannot possibly know what God has in store for those that love and serve Him in faith. Love and happiness is what heaven is all about.

My birthday is January 9.

 

[starfield]

God created the vast universe to display His glory. The night sky reveals His marvellous work and testifies His existence. Regarding our activities in heaven, I think they'll centre on praise and worship to God. Nothing will be done for self-glory but for God alone.

I do believe that you have insight on my operating paradigm. When we get to heaven I will take you to A & W for a root beer float. I will gladly pay.

Sometimes I feel sad for that!

Most of my life was spent "as loving" then, any day, I could be "there" with not clue on knowing how LOVE would be.

What about the holding of hands, smelling the person I think I love... Yes! I shrink at knowing NOTHING about the kind of love I would experiment if I´m taken to that spiritual realm.

I know I love my children differently but, regarding women (which are bound to be like angels) I know NOTHING.

Hmm! Here I have found reliefs... I know and believe He is NOT so selfcentered, so He will give us more freedom, more than we now had. However, I know nothing of how feelings would be.

I do believe in NDEs. I have heard people talking about these "sensations" they have lived out... Prehpas it´s my time to have it (if He wills).
