The Bible refers to specific realms of heaven . . . such as one caught up to the third heaven.” (2 Cor. 12:2). Obviously if there is a third heaven, there must be a second and first heaven. There’s also a forecourt of heaven, an outer perimeter, and balconies. The Bible describes in Revelation 21:21 that, “The great street of the city was of “GOLD.” It was as pure as transparent glass. This passage describes the New Jerusalem, or the Holy City. People often interpret it as heaven. The verse uses the Greek word “CHRUSION,” which can mean gold, gold jewelry, or overlay. This verse is often interpreted to mean that the streets of “HEAVEN’ will be literally made of “GOLD.” This verse is also interpreted to show God’s “GLORY,” which will be on show in “HEAVEN.” This passage also describes the “CITY WALL” made of Jasper. It describes the “CITY’S GATES” as being made of “PEARLS.”
It is hard for many to imagine. Yet, it reminds us that heaven is far more glorious than anything we will ever know in this life. Every picture of heaven in the Bible is beyond our understanding. These pictures assure us of heaven’s beauty and splendor. This world is imperfect and prone to decay, but heaven’s perfect beauty will never fade. When God gave the apostle John a glimpse of heaven’s glory, his immediate response was to worship (see Rev. 22:8). The most important truth about heaven, is God will be there. No evil will ever touch us, but instead we will be safely in God’s presence forever. The Bible says, “the city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it. The glory of God gives it light. The Lamb (Christ) is its Lamb.” (Revelation 21:23). Think of it: In Heaven “we will be with the Lord forever.” (1 Thessalonians 4:17).
CONSIDER THIS: If you are born again, then you are a child of God and heaven is your destination! You can be at peace knowing beyond a doubt that you will be with Christ forever. Until then, keep fighting the good fight of faith. Always remember that God’s promise is for you: “whoever believes in the Son has eternal life.” (John 3:36).
