Heavenly Speculation

It seems like we’re under a constant barrage of religious books speculating on heaven, and what will happen to us following our death.  Every conceivable angle is broached, and we’re left wrestling with all the new and novel ideas that have been presented:

Will heaven be a redesigned Edenic earth, or perhaps located far out in space a few gazillion light-years away, or maybe only a quick change to a different dimension.

Will heaven be filled with mansions; its streets literally paved with silver, gold, and precious stones.  Will we even need mansions, bodies, food, or anything else we once needed.

Will we be changed to a spiritual body, yet recognizable to those who knew us, or maintain a  seemingly earthly body that is tailored for eternity; perhaps some combination of the two, or maybe even something unimaginable.

Don’t worry about all the speculation. God does everything absolutely perfect, and what He has prepared for us is far beyond our comprehension, and even our wildest imagination will fall far short of the glorious future He has prepared for us.  Wondering about our eternal future is natural, but not one person on earth has the slightest idea of what God has prepared for His children, other than what is written in His Word.

God is good, and He doesn’t make mistakes!

  1. I don’t know, but I hope there is a “fishing hole” it don’t even have to be stocked :)

    In heaven the fish will be saved too, so it wouldn’t be fair to hook them; actually they will have unhookable mouths, and the greatest fisherman in the world can’t land them…

    Larry don’t you think a few will be disappointed with “The Gift” and head to Walmart to exchange it. :)
