“And said to him, ‘Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.'” (Luke 23:43) “And in the Spirit he carried me away to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.” (Revelation 21:9-11) “And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” (Revelation 21:2) “In my Father’s house are many rooms if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?” (John 14:2)
God chose at least seven different ways to present Heaven to our mortal imaginations, encouraging us as we daily strive to follow his will in order to spend eternity with him. The best place to find an authentic picture of Heaven that gives us a little taste of what God has in store for us is in Scripture. Some may have been given glimpses of Heaven through near-death experiences, but many admit words can never accurately describe it. However, it is impossible to imagine it, since Heaven is completely beyond, as St. Scripture presents us with these beautiful visions, giving us all something to long for.Īs humans, we all desire Heaven, a place where our tears will be wiped away and our suffering will finally end.
