Heaven

[kenod]

At times, I suppose we all think about dying and going to heaven ... probably more as you get older.

And I suppose we all expect to see God, and our saved loved ones.

So, when you see God, what do you expect to see? Do you expect to see what Isaiah saw (Is 6), or what Daniel saw (Dan 7), or what Stephen saw (Acts 7:55-56), or what John saw (Rev 1), or something else?

After seeing a movie about John, I would say Rev 1.

The movie was about his imprisonment on the isle of patmos, I love that movie! I love John too

But when my brother died, I had a dream that seemed to be him leaving, but me being the one flying; over perfect mountains, over beautiful streams and perfect areas, I figured it was my brothers view.

Many years when life was unbearable for me, I would have flying dreams.

I really, really hope that I can fly

It is so real in my dreams!

I expect to see the face of my loving heavenly Father, and several loved ones that have gone on. I want to just drink in the environment of complete absence of sin. A place where the temperature is peace, the wind blows joy, and truth is everywhere. How wonderful it will be to be home.

I really have no preconcieved idea of what God will look like. As far as what will happen, for surei will hit the floor with my knees and wait to hear the voice of Jesus say "He is mine, my blood was shed for this one!"

Amen......might be hard to see anything while your on your face...maybe the MASTER's toes?

Once I spend about a million years, or so, gazing into my Saviour's face, I might just look around.

I expect to see the lame walking, the blind being able to see, the mute verbally praising the Lord. Skin diseases healed, relationships renewed. The crippled walking upright, jumping and dancing for the Saviour.

I expect to see the Garden of Eden, just as God intended it for us.

What a glorious day that will be, when we shall see Him face to face.

In His Mighty Grip,

Bib

Better still, in Heaven there'll be NO need for healing because there'll be NO continuing deafness, muteness, crippled limbs, blind eyes, withered arms, whatever. We'll all have been made over into his glorious Image as the Holy Scriptures clearly relate, "We'll be LIKE HIM, for we'll see Him as He is."

"In a moment, In a moment,

In the twinkling of an eye...."

Thank You, Glorious Lord!

Arthur,

That is what I meant.

I enjoyed reading through the posts, and particularly liked the comment: "I expect to see the Garden of Eden, just as God intended it for us." I've always thought that the beauties of the earth that we are familiar with, will be what we see, but in their perfection.

I have a mother, a brother and a son who I know for certain are waiting for me on the other side. I expect to see them as they would be in their prime, say 20-25 in earth years, although they are not yet in their resurrected, glorified bodies.

What I am interested in is what people expect to see when they see God. I believe I will see what the disciples saw after Jesus rose from the dead.

Does anyone believe they will see the Father and the Holy Spirit as separate beings to the Lord Jesus Christ?
