Experiences in life, that will be experienced in Heaven

[BeyondET]

thought it might be fun and interesting on what things we experience in life we might experience in Heaven.

heres my answer to get things started,

Music we experience Music while on this earth and as well will experience Music in Heaven. Music can sooth the soul.

[missmuffet]

When we get to heaven our earthly life is behind us. We can not think about heaven in earthly terms. It is just not edifying.

[SisterActs2]

Hello BeyondET and blessings to you brother.

Revelation 21:1-7 pretty much answers your question.  Vs 4 "and He shall wipe away every tear ...................the first things have passed away." Vs 5 - "And He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new."  And He said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true." NASB

When you get there, you will forget all about earthly things!  You will be in such awe and wonder that all you will probably do is fall on your face before our Saviour, as seeing Him will eclipse anything and everything you have ever known.  He is surrounded by such glory that you will probably not be able to speak!  And this is for every believer whom Jesus welcomes into their rest!

The music will be out of this world.  Just stay focussed on our Saviour and live for Him and He will take care of everything else.

I think what  God has in store for His children will make Earthly pleasures seem laughable.it is beyond our imagination.However, in the spirit of this thread I hope there will be golf courses there ,and at long last I hope I receive some actual talent for the game.THAT will be a miracle!

Okay, as anyone will see as they view my profile pic, I'm a surfer. I have often wondered if surfing in the new earth will be an option. Why not? I know that the Bible says there will be no more sea, but that is in the context of there being no more earth or heaven as previously existed, yet we know there will be a new heaven and a new earth, so why not sea? After all, where will the river of life run into? 

However, I am also considering that riding comets could be an option...they have a real cool wake behind them.

I love flying and the ocean and fishing etc. To float on a cloud with a fish on the line would be heavenly.

I LOVE this thread and I love you guys!

First of all, it is completely good and edifying to imagine Heaven, for many reasons:

1) JESUS used the same technique with us. Of course, Heaven would be unimaginable good and better than now, but JESUS knew that when NEED to have some images to become more excited about it, that's why HE USED images like the BANQUET (Matthew 8: 10-11 and countless other verses), the WINE of the Kingdom (Lc 22: 14-20), having power and responsibilities (Luke 16:10), and so on.

2) In order to proceed with more conviction toward a goal, our brain needs some "images". This is one of the reasons why Jesus used them. Therefore, if someone has only a "vague", "abstract" image of Heaven, 99% of the times he will not be really in love with Heaven and desiring it with all his harth. And he will regret not doing things and experiencing pleasures on earth, because he will think that he will never have occasion to experience them anymore, but this is WRONG.

Therefore, dear @missmuffet, it is wrong when you say:

This observation is also true for @Jaydog1976 and whoever jumps on the train of "let's NOT think about Heaven, let's just have it as an "abstract", powerLESS, NOT exciting image in our brain".

Is it not edifying? Are the many "earthly" images that Jesus uses to help us not edifying? I'd suggest you sisters and brothers to reconsider your positions, and to BLESS this kind of thread, because there are already too many people NOT in love with Heaven, and love for Heaven is an important component of loving Christ because Heaven is His Kingdom.

Therefore, let's spread love for Heaven and let's welcome such posts that makes us think at it as the exciting place that it WILL be. Because Heaven it's gonna be exciting, with many things to do, not an "abstract beatitude".

God is a creative and active God.

A question I've been wondering is whether heaven has video games. I would think not, even though video game developers have died before and some probably went there.

It's definitely likely that with the creative powers Jesus will give us, we'll be able to create "video-game"-like things Just far more advanced, now on earth we are already creating "virtual reality", in the Kingdom we'll likely be able to create entire virtual "universe" and play each others "games" And how cool would be "videogames" created by the Lord Himself

I think so, that's why it's worth to spend every possible second on this earth trying to serve the Lord and helping others. So that we may look back with a smile

I will also want to see in "high definition" everything Jesus did and said 2 thousands years ago! It will be exciting to see what the apostles have seen.

why not...maybe on waves 10 Kilometers tall, in some cool planet that you'll be able to visit (we are already able to move along planets with our technology, I guess eternity is long enough to create technology to travel across universes)

Rap music? Speed metal? Country? Rockabilly? Classical? Baroque? Renaissance? Square dance? Fox Trot? The Limbo? ...who knows

I'd like Jesus to rap Matthew 23 for me. To leave the pharisees (both the old and the MODERN pharisees) even more speechless.

Thank you again, @BeyondET for this EDIFYING post.

As for me, in addition to all the cool things you have said, again, I'd like to watch in "high definition" Jesus life and what He did and said in the 3 years in which He saved us.

Looking forward to hear other answers, and let's SPREAD the LOVE for HEAVEN!!!

Let your Kingdom come soon, Father. Maranatha

I don't think it really is of any use trying to figure out what we will do in heaven. I do know that we will have new desires that are pure and ones that will be used to bring God glory. The worldly stuff will have passed away and everything will be new. I don't think it is beneficial to try and figure it out because we try to picture what heaven will be like based upon sinful, finite imaginations. So I would rather focus on the fact the one day we will be with Christ and we will enjoy eternity praising and worshiping our Savior and our Creator.

But no more death, so you wont be eating that fish...let it go and it'll be a flying fish until it belly flops. Vegetarians only in heaven and the new earth.
