Without night there cannot be day.

Without pain there cannot be pleasure.

Without earth there cannot be the sea.

How is eternity serving the Lord much different from any other sort of servitude? A well fed beast of burden may be well fed and even from time to time content and even greatful but he or she is still wearing a yoke.

For those that see heaven as a place filled with earthly rewards be it a lake, a mansion or a comfy bed...well...gosh I think that is ugly and wrong. Those are things and are not a true measure of success as a person. The want of things is a sin isn't it?

Greed, wantonness and lust...you see heaven rewarding that with things?

All of GODS creations serve his desire and higher purpose! All things, all creatures, all planets, all universes, all galaxies, all atoms, all laws of nature, all of time, all good, all evil, all light, all darkness.......does anyone not get it yet?

Hard work in heaven?

I thought heaven was supposed to be perfect?

Why so much work? Bad plumbing? Leaky roof? More people need to be proselytized to?

What's up?

The Book of Revelation only gives a few examples of what will be in heaven and what we will be doing.

1. There is no sun, only the light shining from the Glory of God.

2. There is no night, sadness, pain, suffering, tears and one of the most overlooked thing that the Kingdom of heaven will lack is an OCEAN. There will no sea, thus the river of life that flows from the throne of God will continue forever.

3. The city of New Jerusalem is simply a city within the kingdom of Heaven. Outside the city there will be nations among nations, ruled by Kings which will offer glory and honor unto our Father in New Jerusalem where He and His throne reside.

(*Note, what I'm about to say is a matter of opinions formed after reading revelations)

Obviously there are many more things yet to be explained or shown to us, the things listed above is only a small speck of what will be in store. Now, that being said, of course there will be the singing praise and glorifying God, that's a given, but there's so much more. We will reign in Heaven, and among the nations, outside the city, there will still be those who choose to sin, we will have Free Will, however those who do such shall never be able to enter New Jerusalem. God knows all, but we won't and there will be discoveries to be made among his people.

You can almost imagine living as we do now on Earth, without all the bad things. We will have families and friends, we will have work to do and praises to sing.

Again this is all only a guess, I could be close or completely off so don't take my word for it. It's just one of many ways to envision what life will be like in those days.

outside the city, there will still be those who choose to sin


Tribo:

so in your opinion god never gets rid of sin? interesting to say the least concidering that supposedly jesus died for all those there and his blood covers all there sins - yet after all this - ""sin in heaven"" still exist - hmmmm - so this sin must be far enough away from the presence of god that he tolorates it huh? why would those who jesus' blood has covered their sin need to be away from the presence of god? any thoughts? [since it's your scenario]
