Prepare For Home!
"Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth,
for the first heaven and the first earth had
passed away."
Revelation 21: 1
Filmmakers have tried to imagine heaven.
In All Dogs Go To Heaven, the afterlife is a cloudy
animated world of golden sparkles, carpets through
the sky, and flights of fancy.
A Robin Williams movie about heaven shows the actor wandering
around inside impressionistic paintings and illusionary images. Early
films depicted heaven as white, vapory fog with people walking
around
wearing wings.
Many people take their ideas about heaven from movies,
but all the cinematic versions of heaven combined cannot
begin to touch the real thing.
The Bible alone is our source of definitive information, and the last
two chapters of Scripture are especially rich. The Bible teaches that
our universe and our planet will be recreated, and the vast city
of
God will descend as our eternal
capital.
If you’re ever plagued by disturbing thoughts of afterlife, turn to
Revelation 21 and 22. Read those chapters until the descriptions
thrill you with their realities. Our Lord is preparing a marvelous
home for His children.
"Did you ever stop to think that God is
going to be as pleased to have you with
Him in heaven as you are to be there?"
A. W. Tozer
