God Questions Part 5: What Will Heaven Be Like? Revelation 21:1–22:5 A new heaven/earth: or a new heaven on a new earth with a new capital city called the New Jerusalem (1,400 miles in length, width and height). The river of life: flowing from God’s throne down the middle of the street (like San Antonio river walk?). The tree of life (also see Ezek. 47:12): always fruitful with leaves to heal fractured relationships. The countryside (Heb. 11:14-16): with spacious outdoors and landscapes as impressive as the city’s. The mountains: John was carried to “a mountain great and high” to view the city (Rev. 21:10). The oceans: while there is “no more sea,” there may be oceans with fresh water. A personal experience with God: because “God’s dwelling place is now among the people,” and He will personally wipe away our tears. New resurrection bodies (see also 1 Cor. 15:40-44; Philippians 3:21; ): that can eat and drink, without needing to eat and drink, and can pass through walls! A personalized home (John 14:2): built just for you to maintain privacy while enjoying community. Animals (Isaiah 11:6-8): are pictured in heaven, so maybe pets, too??? No marriage in heaven (Matt. 22:30): but you will always be the best of friends! Work, learning, responsibilities: because we are continually on a journey of growth. A far better country (Heb. 11:13-16): that we should be longing for as strangers on earth.
