Mansions, Children, Music, and Pets!
The paradise that
God has prepared for us, the marvelous Heavenly City, is clearly and explicitly
described in His Holy Book, the Bible, in the last two chapters of Revelation,
the prophecies of Saint John. It is so amazing, so breathtakingly beautiful,
that it is almost beyond description!
It is the largest
City ever built, built by God Himself! It is 1,500 miles wide and 1,500 miles
high. It glows with golden light from its crystal golden beauty and is full of
golden mansions for you and me!
The streets are
made of scintillating crystal-clear gold. It is surrounded by a very high wall
with twelve pearly gates. This is to prevent the entry of any who are not yet
ready to enter therein.
Within its
shimmering gates is the Paradise of God, where the River of Life winds
gracefully through lush parks where laughing children and gentle animals play -
and where departed loved ones await our coming!

In Heaven, each
of us will have a special place to live. Before Jesus left this earth, He told
His followers that He would prepare a place for them and all believers in the
hereafter. “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 unto Myself; that where I am, there
ye may be also” (John 14:2,3). One of these days, we’re going to own a mansion
that isn’t going to cost us anything - no upkeep, no expenses!

It would be hard
to imagine Heaven without children. It wouldn’t be Heaven!

Heaven would be a
pretty boring place without children. What are we going to do, all get to be
old people and then stagnate and that’s the end of it? Once all those that are
already born grow up, the place would really lack life without new generations
of children! If there were no children, it would be a dead society.

Heaven is the
perfect place to raise children. Everything will be just the way it was
intended to be in the beginning, a perfect environment without pain and danger,
accidents and death and the horrors of this world. Babies won’t have to cry. -
They’ll have everything they need. We’ll be able to read their little minds,
and we won’t have to wonder what they’re needing. Just think of all the
advantages of rearing children in Heaven. It will be pure pleasure!

Having children
and raising them will bring new purpose and new life to Heaven. It will not be
the end of everything, but the beginning!

[Heaven is] a
land where children shall walk on cool springy turf, and among myrtle trees,
and eat fruits that shall heal while they delight them, and drink the coolest
of water, fresh from the River of Life, and have space to stretch themselves,
and bathe, and leap, and run, and whichsoever way they look meet Christ’s eyes
smiling on them.

Music will still
be a big part of our environment. The Bible talks about choirs of angels and
how there is singing in Heaven. We’re going to have the greatest choirs, the
greatest bands and symphony orchestras, the greatest music that the world has
ever known. The world has never even heard music yet compared to what we’re
going to have there! If humans can make the beautiful music they have learned
to make with these hand-made instruments, think what God can do supernaturally!

Musicians can
look forward to playing with the best musicians that ever played. They can even
have their own band!

There are going
to be animals in Heaven. The prophet Isaiah said that “the wolf shall dwell
with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, ... and the
lion shall eat straw like the ox” (Isaiah 11:6-9).

God put many
animals here [on Earth] for pets, playthings and companions for us and our
children, and we’re still going to enjoy them [in Heaven].

When we see what
He has for us there, we’ll agree with Paul, when he wrote about Heaven, “Eye
hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the
things which God hath prepared for them that love Him (1 Corinthians 2:9). - Things
we didn’t even imagine could be so beautiful and wonderful.
