What kind of place is Heaven? I touched on hell a bit and even though I could have posted information on why I believe there isn't a hell, there is a Heaven. Question is, who goes there? Do we all go there? Many times we have heard that when we die we go to Heaven. As far as I know, I don't recall anyone saying " OH this guy is going to Hell " But the question is what kind of place is Heaven? From the scriptures we do get some insight as to what kind of place Heaven is. Maybe words such as Love comes to mind or maybe the feeling of happiness. Let me ask you, if you did die and go to Heaven that would mean that you would still know who you are. You would remember the life you had on Earth.
Since you are now an Angel and filled with Love and happiness wouldn't you wonder how your family is doing on earth? If you had children wouldn't you look in on them? Many of you would but what if your wife is going through all kinds of pain. While you are in Heaven being happy, she suffers on earth. Maybe you were her means of support and now she is on the verge of being homeless. Would you still be happy in Heaven knowing that your family is suffering? If you cared about your family then Heaven wouldn't be a happy place for you. What if one of your kids were bad and ended up in Hell or should I say so called hell and you can see him from Heaven? Would Heaven be a happy place for you? Angels have different powers but just like God himself can see what's going on. You might wonder if they can see all why don't they do anything to improve our conditions here on Earth? As time moves forward you will see but for now, it's moving toward that direction. I wouldn't be happy at all. I would be suffering knowing that my family is going through so much pain.
You might reason and say that your wife will be joining you someday but that doesn't take away the pain does it? Of course not. Truth is, we don't go to Heaven and there is no hell. Does anyone go to Heaven? Yes they do but it's a limited number that we are not apart of. Here's a question - if men like Moses or Noah were good men in the eyes of God wouldn't you say that they would go to Heaven? If you say yes then tell me why did Jesus need to come then? Those men came before Jesus. They were no different than the both of us. They were imperfect just like the both of us. They made mistakes just like we do. Remember Moses was not allowed into the promise land but everyone reading knows that Moses was a good man. So if all it takes is for us to die and serve God then why did we need Jesus in the first place? Surely we didn't need Jesus to get to Heaven and since Death is being taken away in the future as mentioned in Rev 21:4 why did Jesus need to come in the first place? Let's take a look at the our father prayer word for word and ask yourself what are you praying for
Our Father in the Heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in Heaven, also upon the Earth. Give us today our bread for this day, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not bring us into temptation but deliver us from the wicked one. etc..
Have you ever looked at what you are praying for? All of the words of course are important but look at this part. You asked God to have his will take place as in Heaven also upon the Earth. What is his will? Well what was his will in the beginning because what you are asking is his will to take place as in Heaven also upon the Earth and again what kind of place is Heaven? If he created Heaven to be a place of happiness and love what you are praying for is that same thing also upon the Earth. Interesting isn't it? Anyway, a few posts from now I'll break everything down from the beginning to the end....
