Heaven in the bible is represented as a place in contrast with earth. The earth is a place, but it is unstable, insecure, and fleeting. Heaven is a stable, secure and eternal place.

In 1 Samuel it is very clear that we go to an after life and that we can even be called out of that life for a short time.

1 Samuel 28:15 Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?”
“I am in great distress,” Saul said. “The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has departed from me. He no longer answers me, either by prophets or by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what to do.”

16 Samuel said, “Why do you consult me, now that the LORD has departed from you and become your enemy? 17 The LORD has done what he predicted through me. The LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hands and given it to one of your neighborsâ€”to David. 18 Because you did not obey the LORD or carry out his fierce wrath against the Amalekites, the LORD has done this to you today. 19 The LORD will deliver both Israel and you into the hands of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The LORD will also give the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.”

Also when both Moses and Arron were finished God told them it was time for them to be with their people.

It is very clear that the Israelites went to a place tobe with each other as God’s people. It only stands to reason that God’s people will be together and seperate from those who have not accepted God through Jesus Christ. When you accept God’s will through Jeus Christ you find a peace but unfortunately the world sometimes interrupts that peace. Heaven is the uninterrupted will of God. We will be at peace forever.

I never post to anything on the internet, but for some reason I feel compelled to contribute as I suddenly have truly realized the fact of our mortality. I am a scientist, and soon to be physician. For people like me, it is very difficult to separate science and religion; though I am Christian and support everything in my church and upbringing.
However, that doesn’t mean there is no room for skeptism. What we know of as “heaven” is not tangible, and that is terrifying to me. The idea of change in terrifying. I am perfectly happy with my life; GREAT family, friends, education, I volunteer and serve always…I wonder how it can be better and I get scared thinking that all we will do for an eternity is praise one person(God), which is great but I ask “why would God give me these talents and gifts (ie family, friends)” if he wouldn’t let me truly enjoy that too in heaven. But then I say God is a creator, so wouldn’t it seem fair that all that has ever been created through history will be there, and not just a mess of clouds, robes, and angels? Thoughts and help on my fear?

So many diffrent ideas out there,
I Think we’re all kingdom beings when were bornagain. God made a place for us and its earth. I believe that I’m here and its real, so I can also believe that there’s a heaven and thats where I’ll soon be, because He also said that, It will be as real then as it is now.
The apostle Paul states in Rev.#, that he had seen and been told things about the things to come. I have never seen these things, so I take his word for it and besides its in the scriptures. Until we get there by death or other. We can say; God said it so that settles it. Were going to heaven.

Is heaven what you make of it? How is Paradise the same for everyone? Like good music, I might say country music is the best music you might say that rock n roll is the best music. We’re not wrong, we’re different. If God is almighty, He is, then he can meet all of our needs surely. If he is preparing a heaven for us, what does that mean? How many ways can that be interpreted? Anyway, I hope heaven feels like childhood with my parents and brothers and sisters. All of childhood. Nothing better than childhood….

Nelson,
If you can imagine, there are innumerable sources of pain and suffering in this life, from children who are abused, to those who are alone, to physical illnesses, and even those tortured and martyred for Christ. Yet the SAme Loving God who longs to for our companionship and who treasures our relationship with Him in Heaven has created this vile world. Your pain is great now, but in the process of trusting God to heal your pain you begin down the path that leads to intimacy the your relationship here can only hint at. The love and closeness we know here is but a fleeting shadow of what God has for those who love Him in eternity. GIve ALL you hurt to Him, and trust him. Reaad the 23rd Psalm, and peray with just a little seed of faith. You will overcome.
