Heaven is where God’s Throne is. It is a city with streets of gold. It is full of Mansions.
Hollywood Mocks Heaven. Hollywood’s version of Heaven is people sitting on clouds strumming Harps. Heaven is real so is Hell. Hell is not a party where people will be reunited with their friends. Hollywood pictures Hell as a great place where people have endless fun.
Jesus Describes Heaven
John 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.”
Heaven is so Amazing that our human minds cannot even begin to comprehend it.
1st Corinthians 2:9 “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
The context of 1st Corinthians 2:9. Is Paul telling a crowd. That what he says is from God. God’s Wisdom. Not the False Wisdom of the world. God wants us to look forward to going to Heaven.
1st Corinthians 2:6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
The Saints in the Old Testament looked forward to Heaven.
The Bible is clear that Heaven is not a place with people sitting on clouds strumming harps. Also Heaven is not in the Clouds. Heaven is way beyond our clouds. The depiction of Heaven. In paintings, in pictures, in movies and on TV. Are Lost’s man’s depictions and are not Biblical.
Heaven is the home of countless Angels. And other Spiritual Beings. It is an active working city. With God on the Throne.
Faith in Jesus Blood Atonement Only Is The ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN For Everyone.
Hebrews 12:18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
Heaven for every Christian. Starts with Judgment and Tears. Yes, Tears. There will be Tears in Heaven.
Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”
People do not understand this verse. It sounds Happy. Because God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. This verse is one of the saddest verses in the entire Bible Actually.
God has not yet wiped away people’s tears. “Shall.” Shall is a future event. People in Heaven are crying.
Let this sink in. You and I. We will be crying in Heaven. For years. Heaven is outside of time. Just think how long it will take. For Jesus to Judge the entire World. Our Lost Family Members, and Friends. The amount of time is unfathomable.
2nd Peter 3:8 “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”
Things that will happen to every person in Heaven
Some people will be Naked. Jesus will Judge us all. People get mad. And call it perverse. That some people will get to Heaven Naked. This does not mean. That they will remain Naked in Heaven. And I do not think the Bible suggests this. God is showing their Nakedness because they did not serve him. White Robes are the Righteousness of the Saints. Nakedness is their lack of Righteousness.
Revelation 19:8 “And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.”
When you get to Heaven you will be Naked or Clothed because of your Righteousness. In a White Robe. You have to have lived a Righteous Christian Life to get a White Robe. The Bible makes this clear.
The Bible teaches us that Nakedness is Shameful. The Naked people in Heaven. Are Shameful. Because they did not Live for Jesus. Every Lost person will be Naked.
The following is a depiction of what will happen. When the Bride of Christ. The Church gets to Heaven:
Revelation 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
Once a Christian dies they are immediately in Heaven with the Lord.
2nd Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
10 “ …that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.”
11 “Knowing therefore the Terror of the Lord…”
These Words Should Terrify everyone. Jesus will show us every Bad thing we have Done AS a Christian.
TERROR, TERROR, TERROR!!!!
Hebrews 10:3 “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
God wants every person alive to understand. That when their Life on Earth is over. Jesus will Judge them. In Vivid Color. Jesus will Judge all of our Works for Jesus, our Christian Service. The Good and the Bad.
Hebrews 9:27 “And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”
We will cry. Because of all the time we wasted. On useless worthless pleasures. Hours watching the TV daily. Living in Sin. The missed opportunities we had to serve Jesus. To witness to people, to Share the Gospel.
We will Cry. When we see Friends and Family members Judged by Jesus. And cast into the Lake of Fire.
Revelation 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”
“…the former things are passed away.” Do you understand what this really means? Everyone you knew in your life. Who went to Hell. You will not remember them.
Your memory of your Father, Mother, Brothers, Sisters, Grandparents, Aunts, and Uncles. All Family, All Friends. You knew who went to Hell / The Lake of Fire. You will not remember anything about them.
Isaiah 65:17 “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.”
When Jesus creates the New Heavens and the New Earth we will not remember our Past. The Past will not even come into our minds.
Heaven is not about us. It is not about our past. Heaven is about Jesus. In Heaven we will have a new glorified body. An entirely new life.
Jesus is the Focus of Heaven Not us. There will be no great reunion. Where we will be hugging family members. People we lived our lives with. Lost people for hundreds of years. Have painted pictures of Heaven. And have written books about Heaven. That are Not Biblical, Not true. There are no Husbands and Wives with their Children in Heaven. The Families we had on Earth. Will not exist like that in Heaven. In Heaven we will be one big family. The Bride of Christ.
Jesus will Judge us As soon as we get to Heaven. We will not be hugging people we knew on Earth. Having this grand family celebration. We will have glorified bodies like Jesus’s resurrected body.
We will have Joy in Heaven. Joy that the Bible does not fully explain. We will be full of Joy just being in the amazingly beautiful city of Heaven. Seeing Angels and other Spiritual Beings. Meeting Jesus will give us the greatest possible Joy. Our future in Heaven will be working as leaders in Jesus’s Kingdom. Heaven is not a Lazy city. It is a very active busy city. The Bible says we will judge Angels:
1st Corinthians 6:3 “Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?”
Please do not miss out on Eternal Life in Heaven.
2nd Corinthians 6:2 “(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)”
Bible Salvation.
1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
