What Will Heaven be Like?

Have you ever wondered what Heaven is like? Let us consider three things about Heaven:
 
1. Heaven is a city of incredible beauty. The Apostle John said he “saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of Heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” (Revelation 21:2) Heaven is more beautiful a place than we can ever imagine. The Bible emphasizes this beauty by describing it as a bride adorned for her husband.
 
 
2. Heaven is a city of incredible abundance. Many people have wondered about the size of this city. The Bible tells us that it is a cube and that it is approximately 1,500 miles in each direction. (Revelation 21:16) Millions and millions of people will be there, yet no one will ever be hungry or lack anything.
 
 
3. Heaven is a city of incredible happiness. Revelation 21:4 says, “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

Revelation 21:1-3 ... And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.  And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
