What is heaven like? What does it look like?

better give your description first; you probably want us to agree with you, so you'll feel better about what you believe

the only way to 100% surity is reassurance

As I understand it, there is nothing to see, hear or touch in the state of heaven. The inhabitants of heaven would not have "bodies" as we understand them. It is a supernatural experience, so gross physical senses would not be involved. Knowing the reality of things, without any intervening sensory filtering, and having no mortal needs or sense of time, we wouldn't require any diversion, entertainment or other kind of relief or fulfilment. I suppose that if there were any interaction with the material universe, it would be direct. We could perceive individual quarks, wavicles, and the forces between them if we so wished. But more importantly, we could directly encounter each other's spiritual essence, more intimately than physically possible. Ultimately, we would be drawn toward union with the ultimate consciousness, which we usually call "God", merging our individuality with the whole. That can sound disconcerting to a corporeal being who hasn't thought things through, so people usually substitute more familiar, concrete images like clouds, harps and endless family reunions. The reality of any potential "heaven" would be nothing like it.

a great cube suspended with a wall on the exterior with 12 layers of stones each and each layer a distinctive stone and this is gates are created from pearls created from the main advantageous oysters. and as you enter you notice a river flowing from the thrown of the very own who spoke the international into existence. and trees with 12 distinctive end result one for each month. the streets are gold not sturdy gold yet sparkling gold or perhaps however there is not any darkness the streets are lit with lamps with the countless maximum advantageous stones ever which you may think of.

Heaven is a glorious place.

Humans cannot enter into heaven in the presence of God.

They need to be transformed into a spiritual body.

Only few human will ever attain ,that.

The Bible speaks of 144000 who have been bought from the earth to be with God and Jesus.

The rest of righteous mankind will reside upon a paradise earth.

I choose to believe Heaven is unique to our experiences, understanding and beliefs.

Heaven IS what 'you desire' heaven to be.

My personal hope is I will see those that have passed before me. It will be a brief encounter... as their desire may have been not; to meet with me.. I will once again be in their presence for just brief moments as I pass over, but it will adequate enough to feel like eternity in their presence.

I hope to be able to watch over earth 'the living', whenever I choose or when deemed necessary. (To look over those younger than I, or those with a pressing need for guidance.) I believe our Soul takes eternal form in heaven as it was our healthiest and fittest moments on earth. BLISS and eternal joy is my hope.

(( As this earth, and life as we know it today here on earth, may tend to seem like a living Hell from time to time.. as we look and hear all the evils that occur each day... Making a little piece (peace) of Heaven here on earth each day in someway makes life as we know do able. Too much suffering and sacrificing daily. One must try to make their little part of the world Heaven Like for better tomorrows!! ))

May you find what you're searching for..

"Heaven" is just Old English for "sky".

By the way - some identify "the christian heaven" with the garden of Eden (e.g. Hasidic Judaism).

According to some people, they believe that heaven is what specific person's idea of what heaven is like for example, if I am pizza lover then my heaven would be a place where there are unlimited of delicious pizza

Umm, according to christians its like streets of gold and no churches, a tree & river of life, no lights, no sin, you cant be sad.

It actually seems kind of bad. like you dont have the free will to be sad if you wanted to be. and id miss my family!

heaven for me would be a perfect earth, or in the Otherworld. Nature, and lots of family and friends. flowers and castles. lots like a fairytale world, actually. and i would have to be able to go anywhere i wanted, like normal earth, other planets, etc.

hard 2 explain :)

Heaven isn't a "place." It's a state of being one with love, that is God.

If I had to guess, though, I'd say it looked something like this...

There is no place called 'heaven' or 'hell'. You are in 'heaven' when you are in peace with your inner-self no matter how much turmoil is around you.

It's the greatest thing YOU can ever imagine. Notice how YOU is capitalized. But it's a dream come true, an imagination made real.
