What does heaven look like
Greetings!
The heaven which is the abode of the Almighty God is not just an ordinary place, but a paradise and as it's been described by John in the book of revelation, one would know that the heaven which harbors the throne of God is not just an ordinary place, but a place of glory.
Revelation 4:1-11 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Here in the above scripture, John told us what he was able to see when the gate of heaven was opened to him and in his analysis of the heaven and the thrones with the river and three of life therein, one would be able to fathom and even behold the beauty of heaven.
However, even at what he had said about what he saw in heaven, he didn't even see everything, but one thing is that, heaven is a beautiful place and the joy there cannot be compared to what we are witnessing here on earth, this ims according to the teachings of Bro. Paul in Romans 8:18.
In conclusion, Bro. Eli still made us understand from the book of 1 Corinthians 2:9 what God has in stock for us believers.
Thanks for reading.
