What Will Heaven Be Like?
There will
come a time when we who are alive and remain shall be caught up in the clouds
to meet the Lord in the air. When this
happens, a paranormal event will occur.
It will be a supernatural event where our bodies will be transformed
from mortal physical bodies into glorified spiritual bodies. We will have ghostlike attributes with all
the power associated with the spirit world.
We will be transformed and when this happens we will be under the
protection of the Lord forever.
When we are finally in heaven, in
the paradise Jesus referred to while hanging from the cross, the Bible promises
that God will wipe away every tear from our eyes and there won’t be any more
death. Pain and sorrow will be a thing
of the past so there will be no more crying. The pain we feel physically,
mentally, emotionally and spiritually will be gone forever because the Bible
says that former things will have passed away.
The cowardly, unbelieving, abominable,
murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars will be put to
death and God’s preferred method of execution is the use of fire. The wicked will be gone forever because they
will be burned up into ashes in God’s ‘Lake of Fire”.
God’s eternal city will be the
seat of the “Kingdom of the World” present on the earth at that time. It will have a great, high wall with twelve
gates, and twelve angels will be posted at each gate. On the gates will be written the names of the
twelve tribes of the children of Israel as a reminder to all who remain of how
God does keep His promise to all people.
The wall of the city will have twelve foundations, and on them will be the names of
the twelve apostles of the Lamb. This
will signify to everyone exactly what God’s government is now and will be based on.
No one will enter the city that
defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie.
This will include the likes of a lot of people on the earth today. Only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book
of Life will be allowed to enter this Holy city. There shall
be no more curse, the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in this city, and
His servants will serve Him, ruling the entire earth from there.
