    Answers to Your Questions about Heaven - David Jeremiah

    clouds

    Introduction

    What comes to mind when you think of heaven? Clouds and harps? Spires and domes? Most people form their impressions of heaven from television, movies, and their imaginations rather than a careful study of Scripture. But the Bible contains over five hundred references to heaven. It provides a virtual travelogue for God’s children, with detailed information about our eternal home. After spending years studying this subject in Scripture, I’m overwhelmed by the comprehensive information God has given. He offers specific answers to our natural questions. In this book I’ve tried to share these answers as simply, readably, and biblically as possible.

    After all, it’s strengthening to turn our minds toward home and toward Him. The Bible says, If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth (Colossians 3:1-2).

    During the Second World War, when it was hard for Franklin Roosevelt to travel among the troops because of his disability, First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt took his place, and she became a favorite of soldiers around the world. She sent cables and letters back to FDR, becoming his eyes and ears. On one such trip in the Pacific theater she spent an evening talking to a group of soldiers, and later told her husband there was only one thought on all their minds—the desire to finish the battle so they could go home.[1]

    That’s how God’s children feel about heaven. We’re deployed on planet Earth, but it’s only a temporary assignment. Goodness and mercy will surely follow us all the days of our lives. But what we’re really anticipating is dwelling in the house of the Lord forever.

    That’s what this book is all about!

    What’s Up with Heaven?clouds

    Why should I study heaven while I’m living on earth?

    Did you know that heaven is mentioned more than five hundred times in the Scriptures? Being a prominent teaching in the Bible, heaven ought to also be prominent in our hearts and in our thoughts. As we become more heavenly minded, we actually become of more earthly good!

    God has placed within our hearts a hunger for eternity, a hunger for heaven. And if we do not understand that and we do not feed that hunger with the spiritual truth of the Word of God, we will end up trying to satisfy that hunger with vain and tawdry things that will leave us empty and without satisfaction.

    We can never approximate all that God has prepared for us in our heavenly home.

    The truth is, we can never approximate all that God has prepared for us in our heavenly home. And we cannot recreate heaven on earth. But when we choose to focus on and prepare for the eternal home that awaits us, our earthly focus is shifted toward living a life that honors God and leads others to Him.

    Is heaven a real, physical place?

    Heaven is no figment of the imagination; nor is it a feeling, a state of mind, or the invention of man. Heaven is a literal place prepared by Christ for a prepared people. In John chapter 14, Jesus Himself leaves His disciples with this promise:

    In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

    JOHN 14:2-3

    Heaven is a literal place prepared by Christ for a prepared people.

    It is interesting to note that the Greek term translated place in this passage is actually the word topos, which more specifically refers to a locatable place.

    From this promise we can have full confidence that heaven is a real, physical place—a place where believers will one day reside with their Savior!

    clouds

    How many levels of heaven are described in the Bible?

    The Bible speaks of three distinct heavens.

    The first heaven is described in Isaiah 55:9-10 and is the atmosphere surrounding the earth—the domain of the clouds and birds (Genesis 1:20).

    The second heaven is spoken of in Genesis 1:14-17 as the domain of the heavenly bodies: the sun, moon, stars, planets, and galaxies.

    Paul described in his second letter to the Corinthians being caught up to the third heaven (2 Corinthians 12:2), which is beyond the first and second levels of heaven and is the dwelling place of God—where we will one day join Christ.
