What does heaven look like

How could I describe heaven and what it looks like?

gromitt82,
As you say it is possible.
I'm open to any ideas on what heaven is like and what we will be like when there.
I just offered my thoughts on what I (at the moment) think about that.
Thanks for yours,
Fred

The point is that we might be talking about Heaven for ages and we would not probably get any nearer than what we are now of the truth.

I am convinced that even the most learned theologians have no idea whatsoever as to what Heaven is like. I guess it is the kind of destination they will only find out what it looks like (those who deserve to go there, of course) until our time has come.

I suppose that our own expectations and hopes induce us to prefer and share a certain criteria. In my case, for instance, I share the concept that Heaven is being able to see GOD at long last.

When St. John was in Patmos he had a dream he refers to in his Revelation, where an angel tols him that Heaven would be Zion. And he describes the size of Zion or New Jerusalam or Heaven as being 12,000 acres long and 12,000 acres Wide and 12,000 acres High.

Which, as you can imagine, it is just another idea quite adapted, however, to the time when John wrote about it.

Best regards,

Yes it is another idea and unlike the one which suggests that heaven is strictly spiritual.

Absolutely. As I said there are lots of explanations but nobody knows for sure. It is beyond our capacity of comprehension. When we hear the scientists speaking about the size of our known Universe and saying it may have 160 billion light-tears wide our mind boggles, as you say.

Where could the Heaven be located if having a pfysical strcture?

Maybe in some kind of parallel Universe? Or in another dimension? Who knows? And. on the other hand, who cares? The important thing, I guess, is that those that follow Jesus' message and walk the line as He told us to, have been promised to enjoy one day this unknown Kingdom where we shall find the explanation to all the question marks that afflict us down here.

God bless,

gromitt82,
I think that I must wait till I know for sure where heaven is and what it looks like.
That's something really worth waiting for.
Peace and kindness,
Fred

Read Revelation chapter 21 & 22 It has a lot to say about heaven.
Read it, it is truth, if you can't understand it in your bible, get an easy reading
bible and read it.

Maggie 3,
What you have found in Scripture about what heaven looks like is good, but what of those descriptions are really spiritual like the hand of God which is spiritual.
Perhaps they are descriptions of things glorified like our heavenly bodies will be after we pass over.
Peace and kindness,
Fred

Fred, I think we have been given a little taste
of what heaven will be like in our spiritual glorified bodies when the time comes for us to be there.

I think heaven will be infinitely better beyond our wildest dreams. We'll be experiencing eternal peace & enjoy with God. The kingdom of heaven is in a spiritual dimension. It's not a physical location.

Heaven will be a place where we will certainly live out our talents & gifts. I don't believe there will be a need for school in heaven. No military necessary. No law enforcement. No hospitals. There will be no need for work.

Mankind was created to enjoy God & His creation. Before the fall there was no need for work. Heaven will be a place where we understand more about the divine powers God has placed within us. We won't be bound by time & space. We'll be able to fly in our glorified bodies. We'll be able to speak things into existence.

We may even have food in heaven but we won't need it to survive. God gave us food here to enjoy so it's not out of the question we'll have food to enjoy in heaven too. Beyond that who knows what wonders God has to show us for all eternity? We'll never get bored.
