I am in the middle of an extensive book on the subject of Heaven. Since I am a born again Christian, this is a profound reality that I will be participating in the future. One of the precious realities I have is the hope of Christ return to be ever with the Lord and someday be a part of the 3rd heaven and earth.
I enjoy studying about places that I will be traveling to in the future. This particular trip with Christ is the ultimate journey we all will be taking. What will it be like to be “ever with the Lord” once we are Gathered Together according to 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.
Will we be hanging on His coat strings? What about this final 3rd heaven and earth? Will we be just hanging around playing the harp? Will we be able to travel around this new world as well as the universe? What activities do we have to look forward to? A lot of questions for sure.
As I study this field, I want to put together a series of teachings that will answer these questions and more.
Hebrews talks about the hope being our anchor.
Hebrews 6:18, 19:
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
How fascinating it is to learn about the place we will be spending eternity together. Until we realize this spectacular reality may we have the comfort of the Scriptures to bless our life.
2 Thessalonians 2:16 and 17: Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
Agape,
