CONCERNING
HEAVEN
THE
BIBLE SAYS…

Daniel 7:9-10 I beheld
till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment
was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. A fiery stream issued and came forth from
before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten
thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

John 14:2-3 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. And if I go and prepare a
place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am,
there ye may be also.
·
Acts 7:55-56 But he,
being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly
into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of
God, And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on
the right hand of God.
·
II Corinthians 5:1 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… 8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather
to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
·
II Corinthians 12:2 I knew a
man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or
whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
such an one caught up to the third heaven… 4 How that
he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not
lawful for a man to utter.
·
Revelation 4:2-5 And immediately I was in the spirit: and behold, a throne was
set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper
and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight
like unto an emerald. And round about
the throne were four and twenty seats and upon the
seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they
had on their heads crowns of gold. And
out of the throne proceeded lightnings
and thunderings and voices: and there were seven
lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of
God.
·
Revelation 5:11 And I
beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the
beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten
thousand, and thousands of thousands;
·
Revelation 7:9 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;
·
Revelation 21:1-4 And I saw
a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were
passed away: and there was no more sea.
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem,
coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her
husband. And I heard a great voice out
of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell
with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them,
and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears form 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... 22 And I saw no
temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it…

Revelation 22:3-5 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of
the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name
shall be in their foreheads. And there
shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither
light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
