Compiled

The
Bible speaks much about the Glorious Eternity. Also, the Bible
speaks much about the Christless eternity. Each
person will, ultimately, enter eternity of one's choice. Read the
web page entitled SALVATION.
(When clicking SALVATION, you are then
directed to the web site.)
A
few years ago, while studying the Bible (KJV), I wrote an article about
"Heaven." The article about Heaven is included in the
booklet entitled © "CAN TEARS SAVE THE WORLD?". May
the article entitled "WILL I KNOW YOU IN HEAVEN" also
speak to your heart.
"WILL
I KNOW YOU IN HEAVEN?"
What
Will Heaven Be Like? Heaven
is Likened Unto . . . .
A
GARNER
Matthew
3:12 tells us: “Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge
his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the
chaff with unquenchable fire.”
A
GLORIOUS PLACE
Isaiah
57:15 tells us:
“For
thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is
Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a
contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to
revive the heart of the contrite ones.”

us:
“When
Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him
in glory.”
I

“That
ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and
glory.”
A
HEAVENLY COUNTRY
Matthew
13:44 tells us:
“Again,
the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when
a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all
that he hath, and buyeth that field.”
Hebrews
11:16 tells us:
“But
now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is
not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.”
A
HEAVENLY HOME

15:6 and 7 tells us:
“And
when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours,
saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was
lost.
"I
say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that
repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no
repentance.”
John
14:1 and 2 tells us:
“Let
not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
"In
my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have
told you. I go to prepare a place for you.”
A
PLACE OF GOD'S THRONE AND THE THRONE OF JESUS
Revelation
3:21 tells us:
“To
him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I
also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.”
Revelation
5:6-9 tells us:
“And
I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and
in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having
seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth
into all the earth.
"And
he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the
throne.
"And
when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders
fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden
vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
“And
they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to
open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God
by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.”
Revelation
7:9 tells us:
“After
this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of
all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the
throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their
hands;”
A
PLACE OF THE HEAVENLY ANGELS
Matthew
25-31 tells us:
“When
the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him,
then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:”
A
PLACE OF THE HEAVENLY REGISTER
Luke
10:20 tells us:
“Notwithstanding
in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather
rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.”
I
John 5:7 tell us:
“For
there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the
Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”
A
PLACE OF HEAVENLY TREASURES
Matthew
6:20 tells us:
“But
lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust
doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:”
Luke
12:33 tells us:
“Sell
that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a
treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth,
neither moth corrupteth.”
A
PLACE OF REST
Hebrews
4:9 tells us:
“There
remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.”
Revelation
14:13 tells us:
“And
I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead
which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they
may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.”
CITY
OF THE LIVING GOD
Revelation
21:22 and 23 tells us:
“And
I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the
temple of it.
“And
the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for
the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.”
ETERNAL
HOME
II
Corinthians 5:1 tells us:
“For
we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we
have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the
heavens.”
THE
KINGDOM OF GOD
Matthew
8:11 tells us:
“And
I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit
down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew
13:43 tells us:
“Then
shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their
Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”
Matthew

“Take
heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you,
That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which
is in heaven.”
LIFE
ETERNAL

“.
. . but the righteous into life eternal.”
John
10:28 tells us:
“And
I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall
any man pluck them out of my hand.”
THE
PLACE OF THE BRIDE (BORN-AGAIN BELIEVERS)
AND
THE HEAVENLY GROOM - THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
Revelation
19:5-9 tells us:
“And
a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his
servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
“And
I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of
many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for
the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
“Let
us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the
Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
“And
to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and
white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
“And
he saith unto them, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the
marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true
sayings of God.”
To
summarize Heaven,
the
following Scripture Verse also brings
excitement
to my soul and spirit because:
Revelation
21:4 tells us:
“And
God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.”
WILL
I KNOW YOU IN HEAVEN? IF
NOT . . .
WE
WILL GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER IN HEAVEN!
