“What
do we know about Heaven the city?...”

Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
Heaven, the eternal city of light and peace:
A
Place Of Beauty:
I
Corinthians 2:9 KJV
But
as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have
entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for
them that love Him.
Revelation
21-1-27 NLT (The New Jerusalem)
1
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the
old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. 2 And I saw the
holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like
a bride beautifully dressed for her Husband.
3 I
heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is
now among His people! He will live with them, and they will be His
people. God Himself will be with them.
4 He
will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death
or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”
5
And The One sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making
everything new!” And then He said to me, “Write this down, for
what I tell you is trustworthy and true.”
6
And He also said, “It is finished! I am The Alpha And The Omega—The
Beginning And The End. To all who are thirsty I will give freely from
the springs of the water of Life.
7
All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will
be their God, and they will be My children.
8
“But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral,
those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their
fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second
death.”
9
Then one of the seven angels who held the seven bowls containing the
seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come with me! I will show
you the bride, the wife of The Lamb.”
10
So he took me in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and he showed
me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.
11
It shone with the glory of God and sparkled like a precious
stone—like jasper as clear as crystal.
12
The city wall was broad and high, with twelve gates guarded by twelve
angels. And the names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written on
the gates.
13
There were three gates on each side—east, north, south, and west.
14
The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were
written the names of the twelve apostles of The Lamb.
15
The angel who talked to me held in his hand a gold measuring stick to
measure the city, its gates, and its wall. 16 When he measured it, he
found it was a square, as wide as it was long. In fact, its length
and width and height were each 1,400 miles.
17
Then he measured the walls and found them to be 216 feet thick
(according to the human standard used by the angel).
18
The wall was made of jasper, and the city was pure gold, as clear as
glass.
19
The wall of the city was built on foundation stones inlaid with
twelve precious stones: the first was jasper, the second sapphire,
the third agate, the fourth emerald,
20
the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the
eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh
jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
21
The twelve gates were made of pearls—each gate from a single pearl!
And the main street was pure gold, as clear as glass.
22 I
saw no temple in the city, for The Lord God Almighty and The Lamb are
its temple.
23
And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God
illuminates the city, and The Lamb is its light.
24
The nations will walk in its light, and the kings of the world will
enter the city in all their glory.
25
Its gates will never be closed at the end of day because there is no
night there.
26
And all the nations will bring their glory and honor into the city.
27
Nothing evil will be allowed to enter, nor anyone who practices
shameful idolatry and dishonesty—but only those whose names are
written in The Lamb’s Book of Life.
Revelation
22:1-6 NLT
1
Then the angel showed me a river with the water of Life, clear as
crystal, flowing from The Throne Of God And Of The Lamb.
2 It
flowed down the center of the main street. On each side of the river
grew a tree of Life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop
each month. The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations.
3 No
longer will there be a curse upon anything. For The Throne Of God And
Of The Lamb will be there, and His servants will worship Him.
4
And they will see His face, and His name will be written on their
foreheads.
5
And there will be no night there—no need for lamps or sun—for The
Lord God will shine on them. And they will reign forever and ever.
6
Then the angel said to me, “Everything you have heard and seen is
trustworthy and true. The Lord God, who inspires His prophets, has
sent His angel to tell His servants what will happen soon.”
A
Place Of Great Joy:
Psalm
16:11 KJV
You
will show me the path of Life; In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Isaiah
35:11 KJV

the redeemed of The Lord shall return, and come with singing unto
Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain
gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
John
16:22 KJV
And
ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your
heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
Revelation
7:17 KJV
For
The Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and
shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe
away all tears from their eyes.
A
Place of Knowledge And Revelation:
John
13:7 KJV
Jesus
answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou
shalt know hereafter.
John
16:12 KJV
I
have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
I
Corinthians 13:12 KJV

now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know
in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
I
John 3:2,3 KJV
2
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what
we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like
Him; for we shall see Him as He is.
3
And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as
He is pure.
A
Place Of Freedom From Disease And Death:
Isaiah
35:1-10 KJV
1
The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the
desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
2 It
shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the
glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and
Sharon, they shall see the glory of The Lord, and the excellency of
our God.
3
Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
4
Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold,
your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he
will come and save you.
5
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf
shall be unstopped.
6
Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb
sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in
the desert.
7
And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land
springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall
be grass with reeds and rushes.
8
And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The
way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be
for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
9 No
lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it
shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:
10
And the ransomed of The Lord shall return, and come to Zion with
songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and
gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Revelation
21:4 KJV
And
God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no
more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any
more pain: for the former things are passed away.

him as with a shield.

shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of
heaven.

is holy.

the year that king Uzziah died I saw also The Lord sitting upon a
throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple.
2
Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he
covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain
he did fly.
3
And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is The Lord
Of Hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory.
4
And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and
the house was filled with smoke.
5
Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of
unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips:
for mine eyes have seen The King, The Lord Of Hosts.
Revelation
15:3,4 KJV
3
And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of
The Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God
Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King Of Saints.
4
Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only
art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy
judgments are made manifest.
When
We All Get To Heaven
Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,
Sing His mercy and His grace;
In the mansions bright and blessed
He’ll prepare for us a place.
Refrain:
When we all get to heaven,
What a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus,
We’ll sing and shout the victory!
While we walk the pilgrim pathway,
Clouds will overspread the sky;
But when trav’ling days are over,
Not a shadow, not a sigh.
Let us then be true and faithful,
Trusting, serving every day;
Just one glimpse of Him in glory
Will the toils of life repay.
Onward to the prize before us!
Soon His beauty we’ll behold;
Soon the pearly gates will open;
We shall tread the streets of gold.

hath given to us Eternal life, and this Life is in His Son.

and he that hath not The Son Of God hath not Life.

that ye have Eternal Life, and that ye may believe on the name of
The Son Of God.
