I would like to know what does heaven look like when you die because at school in RE we have got to design a poster of what we think heaven looks like. So I thought if I look at some then I will get an idea of what it might look like! :)

Scripture says:

1 Corinthians 2 9 But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.

So, you have quite a task ahead of you.

This part of Scripture describes the City of God in the end times:

Apocalypse 21

10 And he took me up in spirit to a great and high mountain: and he showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, 11 Having the glory of God, and the light thereof was like to a precious stone, as to the jasper stone, even as crystal. 12 And it had a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and in the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. 13 On the east, three gates: and on the north, three gates: and on the south, three gates: and on the west, three gates. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them, the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 And he that spoke with me, had a measure of a reed of gold, to measure the city and the gates thereof, and the wall.

16 And the city lieth in a foursquare, and the length thereof is as great as the breadth: and he measured the city with the golden reed for twelve thousand furlongs, and the length and the height and the breadth thereof are equal. 17 And he measured the wall thereof an hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, which is of an angel. 18 And the building of the wall thereof was of jasper stone: but the city itself pure gold, like to clear glass. 19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper: the second, sapphire: the third, a chalcedony: the fourth, an emerald: 20 The fifth, sardonyx: the sixth, sardius: the seventh, chrysolite: the eighth, beryl: the ninth, a topaz: the tenth, a chrysoprasus: the eleventh, a jacinth: the twelfth, an amethyst.

21 And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, one to each: and every several gate was of one several pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. 22 And I saw no temple therein. For the Lord God Almighty is the temple thereof, and the Lamb. 23 And the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine in it. For the glory of God hath enlightened it, and the Lamb is the lamp thereof. 24 And the nations shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honour into it. 25 And the gates thereof shall not be shut by day: for there shall be no night there.

26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. 27 There shall not enter into it any thing defiled, or that worketh abomination or maketh a lie, but they that are written in the book of life of the Lamb.

Sincerely,

De Maria

I Do Not Know What It Looks Like Do You

Thread has been cleaned up to rid it of posts saying there is or was no heaven. This was not answering the posters question and was not the topic They wanted to know what to draw.

Lots of clouds, white robes, and harps. Oh, and the occasional priest, lawyer, and accountant arriving at the pearly gates.

At the time the bible was written there wasn't any visualization.But in the past hundred years or so there was a vision given to woman named Ellen G. white where she saw heaven.I don't have the details now but go check it out I have no doubt you will get your answer.

I think you should draw what makes you happy, I think in your heaven it will be filled the love of family and friends passed on and complete happiness.

I think heaven has a big golden gate that you go threw and there's a short gold trail leading you to a big beautiful garden filled with angels family members. Beautiful purple pink red and white flowers that cover the gardens grounds.theres beautiful water falls and are family members and friends and other angels gather around jesus and god and worship him and take in all the knowledge that god teaches us. I also think thiers diamonds and gems there to with beautiful sounds around us. I hope and believe I will be able to see my mom again in heaven one day I hope I can run into my moms arms and tell her how much ilove and missed her and stay with her for all eternity. Destiny

Nobody has any idea. Even the descriptions in the Bible are highly symbolic, because they're trying to describe something that's indescribable. The best suggestion so far that I've seen is, draw something that makes you happy. If it's a picture of Jesus, go for it. If it's a room full of puppies, go for it. Anything pleasant that you draw has an equal chance of being accurate!

Dave,

In Revelation 21 and 22 we get a little picture of what the city, New jerusalem will look like.

The bible says there will be no more sea. The city is described like a bride adorned for her husband. We are give the actual size of this city... it will be like a giant cube. There is a great wall that surrounds it made of precious stones. 12 Gates that are gigantic Pearls and if I read it correctly there are different foundations to the city each made of a precious stone. The street that is described is of gold that looks like pure glass. It will be very majectic, massive and full of luster.

The Bible says the city has laws.Rev. 21:6-8 the law for satisfaction, the law of service and the law of security.

The Bbile also records no more death, disappointment or distress. The city has a LORD. He is the light of the city and the LIFE of the city.

So it is just merely a glimpse but I have an idea none of us will be nearly as interested in what it looks like when we are there. It won't be so much about the place itself... but the PERSON. Where the Lord Jesus is... IS heaven.

I have heard it estimated that there will be room enough for ANY human who ever lived from Adam to the present day. I believe that God is letting everyone know.. there is room enough for them.. if they so choose to come.


Eye has not seen and ear has not heard neither has it enter the heart of man the things that God has prepared for them that love him.

So whatever it is like... we aren't going to be disappointed.

Ok, I'll tell you what... when I die, if I am able to come back and tell you, I'll see if I can send you a sketch or something (don't know if there's PhotoShop in heaven or not).

If there is it'll undoubtedly be either on a Mac or Linux, since God is way too smart to use Windows!!

Lol... there you go! I'm with you there.

dwashbur,
I agree with you though there is a symbolic picture drawn on heaven in the book of Revelations.
Peace and kindness,
Fred

Nobody knows. I suppose if there is a Heaven some of us will find out.

Heaven has streets of gold and the gate is made of giant pearls. Where God's throne is there are rainbow coming out of it and an eagle, a lion and a man creature standing in front of it covered in eyeballs and have six wings and they say "Holy,Holy,Holy is our God."

When is a good adge to die
