Believers
forget their eternal future. Or, they at least take it for granted.
Rarely, almost never, do we hear others conjecturing about Heaven.
Yet, we are told it is important to keep our life's goals in sight. I
suspect many barely believe in Heaven, and many know so little they
don't venture to think about the unknown.
We know
scripture tells much and implies more. Those who have died, visited,
and returned, can tell us what they remember. I find it wise to
notice what is most common in various witness reports.
Heaven
is our eternal home in the presence of God, what is termed the
Beatific Vision. All light emanates from the throne of God himself.
God is Light. God is Love. “Be holy for I am Holy,” says the
Lord. “Without holiness, no one can see the Lord.” The Father
does not stand in the presence of sin.
We are
in the eternal Heaven for one reason. Jesus the Messiah gave himself
as the divine sacrifice of perfect love for the sins of mankind, for
all those who believe in him. Or, innocents who died as blood
martyrs, I might add, for instance aborted babies. Or, innocent
persons, the Epistle to Romans implies, without sin, those determined
by God. Otherwise, unrepentant sin against the Creator is the reason
for condemnation to hell. I know one thing, those who rebel against
the Creator, freely choose hell.
In
Heaven, you are not a nameless or an ambiguous spirit. You keep your
personal identity. Jesus, Moses, and Elijah appeared together on the
mountain of the Transfiguration. Jesus appeared several times after
his Resurrection, and believers always related to him. In Heaven you
recognize your family, your relatives, your friends, likely anyone,
according to visionaries.
People
will be in their perfect glorified bodies, no disabilities, no
eyeglasses. I believe Jesus will be the first to greet and welcome
us. I told my wife I will then dance joyfully with her in a great
field of flowers at the foot of a magnificent mountain range, no
longer with my disabled foot. I've seen this in my dreams many times.
Glorified
bodies in heart, body, mind, and spirit! We will not be just blobs of
invisible spiritual cloud floating around. Think of Jesus as he
appeared to the apostles in the upper room and ate with them. He was
in his glorified, risen body. The only wounds in Heaven will be his,
our license to the Presence the Ancient of Days. In our glorified
bodies, heart, mind, body, and spirit, we will truly function. How
will God use us in Paradise?
Just
conjecturing. Since we keep our identity and person-hood, might he
not use us in goodly ways he used us on earth? The use of singers,
musicians, teachers, might be easy to perceive. But what about
writers, builders, cooks, artists, painters? Maybe, some of us will
need retraining! I know one thing for certain. God has no problem. He
said he has a place for you, already prepared.
God is
Mighty on you!
Whatever
you need:
Ask, and
you shall receive.
Seek,
and you shall find.
Knock,
and the door shall be opened
to you.
Heavenly
Blessings,

Vision in the night. Angel or demon?
Clearly seen, tall through the ceiling, at foot of my bed. Total Pax.
Could be an angel. Then, I saw the beard and his dark wavy hair, no
it's him. In mystical light like a haze, He held two great broad
swords in big strong hands pointed east and west. The giant swords
shone in the room's real light. “He is here,” announced a voice.
“I am here,” said the Warrior King who stood so tall. His
spiritual gown of many folds waved softly. Very still, he stood in
majesty, but full of Life and Presence. His mighty Protection powered
over my wife and me. “Now I know he's coming,” I said, and turned
over in peace. I glanced back. He stood there, mighty. I cannot
otherwise account or explain this. 2-15-2014
