“I Am The Alpha And The Omega”

 

“‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars —they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.

Revelation 21:4-11

Heaven is a better place than anywhere on earth, without a doubt.

Heaven is God’s home and His followers will enjoy His presence for all eternity.

Heaven is comfortable in every way. Heaven’s residents will never be sick or upset, hungry or thirsty.

Heaven is a beautiful place, and a river with crystal clear water will flow from God’s throne, and God Himself will give heaven its light.

Do things in this world sometimes remind you of believers who have moved on to the next world? They are now enjoying heaven, and you will too.

The pleasures of earth cannot be compared to those in heaven.
