When we all get to heaven...

Actually, I believe that Jesus is one of about three people in heaven with a physical, glorified body. Hence the truth in the verse I quoted there in post #36.

"...when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is."

"He is" are the operative words.

Yes, but that does not say He has a physical body or even a glorified body. I think the glorified body was what He had on earth when he rose from the dead.....the glorified body he needed to be seen by the disciples.....they did not recognize Him. If He had the exact same body, they would have recognized Him.

The glorified body is what he needed to withstand the glory of heaven. He still has it now and will evermore!

So if He had His physical body when He rose from the dead, how come the disciples didn't recognize Him?

Because it was physical, yet glorified! I imagine His countenance had changed...it is a spiritual thing, not ever having seen such a body, so it is left up to our imaginations 2000 years hence...but not hard to understand.

It was glorified! LOL ..... that is what I said in the first place. This is a bit like going around in circles.

I have been reading this particular thread with great interest.The topic "Heaven" has always attracted me, and there are indeed a lot of queries for which I was seeking some answers to. Most theoligians have now woken upto the theory of "new heaven" and a "New Earth". When we die we more or less know where we are going..So if its the heaven, or intermediate heaven, I would like to know if this place is in space at the moment?.or probably in other universe unseen by mankind??

Acts 7:55-56 says " Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to Heaven and saw the heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God"

please note the word in italics...looked up, saw and standing.All these indiactes that Heaven is a physical place/realm somewhere up there...But then obviously my next query is where is the intermediate hell, then?

Also will we be judged immediately after our death? then what about the final judgement when Christ comes back( Revelations 20: 11-13)?

Can somebody give us some more insights into these?

God Bless
