Q181: I wonder what heaven looks like?

Good question and I wonder too and am looking forward to finding out just what it does look like. I may have answered this before, but perhaps I have got some new items to include- and it saves you searching for the other answer to this question we all think about. No pesky flies to bother us for a start-COOL!,and no murders, knifings, bashings and hate. One of the ‘Minor Prophets’ Habakkuk, wrote of God:“Your eyes are too pure to look upon evil;you cannot tolerate wrong.(Habakkuk.Chapter1;Verse3) So there will be no evil or foul things in God’s heaven.

 The Prophet Habakkuk had many a question for God too- just like Yr. Seven kids!! “Why then do you tolerate the treacherous? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow those more righteous than themselves?” Habakkuk.Ch1: verse 4) And many other complaints he had too. God gave us ‘Free will’-the choice to do right or wrong and it brings out some nasty things in some of us.

When Moses and Elijah ‘came back’ and were talking with Jesus (see Q172) Peter, James and John did not run up and ask those two ‘Great Old Testament Heroes’: “Hey you Guys! What’s it like up there?” Peter usually spoke first and thought later − but Jesus still dearly loved him. We can only learn from Jesus and trust Him to make it good because He said: “I go to prepare a place for you.” Not just His disciples but for all who love Him. Jesus also said to them: “And if I go to prepare a place for you I will come again to take you there so we can always be together.” (John Chapter 14: verse3-4). So, I must be careful and not print what I think and want heaven to be. That’s easy; but not the truth. I do get a bit annoyed with some Christian mobs who print lovely pictures of ‘heaven’. They cannot know what it will be like!!

This I do know: “If Jesus promises something, it happens – both the good and not-so-good, it will happen”. He is getting heaven ready, HOORAY? Don’t you be the last in the queue and maybe get the job as street sweeper up there!
