I find myself thinking about heaven and what it will be like; I even wonder if I will be one of the few according to the Bible that will make it.

Ideas about Heaven

            Heaven I am sure has crossed all our minds at some point, and there are times I can’t help but wonder exactly what to expect. According to the Bible it is a place of eternal happiness, but it makes me wonders exactly what is meant by that phase, and if we are eternally happy, won’t we become bored? This is when my imagination is awakened, and I think of several things at once and surely can’t make up my mind.

            My first thought of heaven is arriving at a destination; perhaps it is one of our most enjoyed days during our lifetime. It is there that we “welcomed” and “cared” for by those that are in hell because they were unable to serve others in there lifetime. You are then prepared to move along, to meet up with those who have gone before us; with memories coming to light, and laughter all around. My only problem with this scenario is eventually we will run out of people to be reunited with, even though when we get to the very end of the ones who have gone before us, now its time to welcome and embrace those who came after you arrived. Over time, which is, suppose to be like instantaneously, it will just go on and on and on; so I believe there has to be some sort of change.

            Then my second thought is, are there different levels of heaven and hell? Perhaps you arrive to heaven and it is tranquil but you must aspire to attain the uttermost levels, to be surround by total blissfulness. It is a simple life but through reviewing our past life, we are “scored” by how remorseful you are by these sinful actions that you participated in as a sinful human. I know there are times even now that I am embarrassed by some of my sins. Embarrassed so much that the very thought of them cause me discomfort and pain. It is at this point that makes me wonder’ now what?

    nice——–Heaven is the place where our soul ultimately aspire to get to. through all of the challenges and obstacles and tasks that each reincarnation sets before us, How we meet and overcome each determines if we enter the Golden gates and find peace at last.

    You cover all of the bases for me. I believe there to be many planes of existence after our stay here. But then there’s that reincarnation thought and everlasting merry go rounds….Are they so merry? I love life so much, I wouldn’t mind living a thousand years. As long as things got better here not worse. Sometimes earth can be a living hell as well. Very interesting and thinking type article. Our fate. The mystery of it all!

    Very interesting, Elizabeth. I have no proof, of course, but I think that there are different levels (or gates) in heaven that we individuals will have to work up to after arriving – the number of gates to the top will depend on how we are initially judged for our earthly sins or good things we did. And, the judgement will be based on how sorry we REALLY are for the bad we did. I think there will be work assigned to us in heaven having to do with fixing or improving events we caused on Earth or events we we could have avoided with certain efforts.
