Heaven: What’s It Like?

Let me start with what Heaven won’t be: boring. It is not a place where we will be ghosts or angels endlessly floating around on clouds, strumming harps, and wishing we’d brought a magazine.

Usually when we refer to Heaven, we mean the present Heaven where followers of Jesus go when we die. Though the present Heaven is a wonderful place, it’s not the place we’re made for—the place where God promises we can live forever. The Bible calls that future Heaven the New Earth. Sometime after Jesus returns, he will bring us to live on that New Earth—a place beautiful beyond our wildest imagination.

How does the New Jerusalem fit into the picture of Heaven? (audio)

Randy Alcorn discusses the topic of Heaven on the Janet Mefferd Show. March 2010.

Is the new city Jerusalem in the present Heaven?

I believe the New Jerusalem is right now in the present (intermediary) Heaven because of my understanding of Revelation 10.

What are the people in Revelation 22 doing outside the gates of the New Jerusalem?

In Revelation 22, those who are outside the city mean those who are outside the city in Hell.

What Does the Bible Say About Heaven?

Despite my best attempts to be careful with Scripture, my understanding is far from complete and is without doubt incorrect in some areas. But if the reader diligently investigates the Scripture passages referred to in this summary, he may discover to his surprise (and either to his delight or discomfort) that some of his own notions and assumptions about heaven are in fact not biblical. In the process, he will gain a far greater understanding of this vital subject.
