21 Brief Observations Concerning Revelation 6:9-11

"When [the Lamb] opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, 'How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?' Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and brothers who were to be killed as they had been was completed" (Revelation 6:9-11).

 


27 Common Questions About Heaven

All these questions are addressed in Randy Alcorn's book Heaven (Tyndale, 2004). Most of them have clear, though not comprehensive, biblical answers. The others that don't have clear answers can be intelligently speculated upon, based on what Scripture does tell us.

50 Days of Heaven: An Excerpt

50 Days of HeavenThroughout the ages, Heaven has played a dominant role in the thoughts and lives of God’s people. Heaven is the North Star by which countless Christians have navigated their lives. But have you noticed? Heaven today has largely fallen off our radar screens. If we are honest, we must admit that we are not daily and consciously looking forward to Heaven, much less to a New Earth. We’ve reduced Heaven to an otherworldly state, and we’ve ignored the clear biblical promise of a redeemed universe over which we will serve as God’s delegated rulers. We’ve ...

After death but prior to the resurrection, what will we be like?

Unlike God and the angels, who are in essence spirits though capable of inhabiting bodies (John 4:24; Heb. 1:14), man is by nature both spiritual and physical (Gen. 2:7).

Are animals capable of praising God?

Throughout Scripture we read that animals praise God. I don't know exactly how animals praise God, but our inability to understand it shouldn't keep us from believing it.

Are there different levels of Hell?

Because God is just, there will be degrees of punishment in Hell.

Are there references to the New Earth in the Old Testament Prophets? (audio)

Randy Alcorn answers the question,"Are there references to the New Earth in the Old Testament Prophets?"

Are we instantly with the Lord when we die?

Jesus told the dying thief on the cross, "Today you will be with me in paradise" (Luke 23:43). The apostle Paul said that to die was to be with Christ (Philippians 1:23), and to be absent from the body was to be present with the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8).

Are we really supposed to think about heaven?

Like a bride's dreams of sharing a home with her groom, our love for heaven should be overflowing and contagious, just like our love for God. Our passion for God and our passion for heaven should be inseparable.

As I read Genesis 1 over and over again, the word “let” keeps bouncing out at me.

As I read Genesis 1 over and over again, the word “let” keeps bouncing out at me.  GOD “let” there be light.  GOD “let” there be firmament.  GOD “let” the waters gather together.  GOD “let” the Earth bring forth grass. God “let” there be light, etc.

It made me think of when my earthly dad let me do something, it felt so good.  And I thought of GOD “letting” us have the Earth, heavens, light, grass, etc. He didn’t have to—we in no way deserved it.  Being the loving Father that He is, He LET us have these things to enjoy.
