When I can't sleep,I do this. It's so sweet and relaxes me enough to drift off to sleep. Better than pills and so much more edifying! I think of walking on street's of gold, the throne of God,the river of life below it.

Throwing my crowns at Jesus feet,Being whole again,no imperfections Seeing and communing with the Saints and my loved ones long ago parted especially my Son and soul mate Husband.

Listening to the Angelic choir sing hauntingly beautiful and poignant praises to God.( My favorite).Worshiping my God and creator.

Receiving all answers,my tears wiped away from mourning my loved ones who didn't make it leaving New Jerusalem after.receiving my mansion and vineyard, Living in the restored Garden of Eden. Living in Harmony and peace and Love forever more. Before I know it-it's morning yeah...

I'm not a christian but still believe in the, as we're suppose to the original bible, torah, gospel, etc, etc and all the prophets like Muhammed (s.a.w), Jesus (pbuh), etc, etc, etc. In heaven you will have whatever your heart desires. Also another thing the lowest grade in heaven that a person gets will be like 10 times better than of this Earth it's general but I guess just try to think of the best thing to do on Earth or something that is very popular like with the millions or billions of people and times it by 10 or something like that. And also in Heaven things are going to see more real instead of seeing with your eyes you will see with your soul too whether you believe it or not so I guess it'll be way better than hd tv or something. Anyway sry if I didn't answer this question properly, take care.

As an atheist, I believe the the concept of heaven is a poorly-thought-out collection of unrealistic fantasies used to lure people to waste their ONLY life not accomplishing anything at all. It keeps the middle and lower classes happy in society ("Religion is the Opiate of the Masses" - Karl Marx) by assuring them that they won't have to work for anything anymore, and will get luxury goods and superpowers for free. If gold were as abundant as, say, aluminum, it would have significantly less value. It's essentially a canvas for people to paint their selfish fantasies. Another problem with heaven is that it would get boring after the first few million years, perhaps you would like it to end. Too bad... you're in this for eternity upon eternity. Eventually, you will have done everything, met everyone, every possible event is an inevitability since we're talking about eternity here. It gets even worse.. if you thought political corruption was bad in America, or the USSR, you haven't seen nothing yet. Heaven is ruled by an omnipresent supposedly-omnibenevolent being who watches you even when you're taking a dump. Privacy in Heaven is nonexistent, ruled by a divine force who makes the rules, and is resistant to changes in morals. This government would never, ever change. The very values of freedom and democracy that bible-thumpers love do not exist in Heaven.

The present perception of "Heaven" is one of misconception based on the many misinterpretation of scripture. Much like the existence of "Hell" which is something that is describing the painful world we are living in. Society is the evil against the spiritual God. We are spiritual as well. Our bodies are the illusion because they are part of this world. Our spirits are not. Nothing anyone does in this world can destroy our spiritual being. But they can drag us away from God, which hurts us spiritually. Having this perception on life gives a different idea about what's important. Focusing on "heaven" is what people who are spiritually threatened do. They don't walk with God. So they think he lies beyond this life "somewhere". He's already here.

No. Life is life, and death is death. The person I am now is the person I'll be if needing a resurrection.

Those who inherit heaven receive the heavenly kind of body; still, they are who they were; they do not eat in heaven, but they do the work they must do. Those who receive a resurrection into Paradise likewise will live on a cleansed earth; they also shall go about their daily business but without the chaff of this world to endanger them; otherwise, they live human lives as before in service to Christ.
