From Gary... Heaven

Will there be dogs there? I hope so, for they have brought great happiness to my life here on earth. However, since the Bible doesn't say- neither can I. One thing is sure; God will be there and that will be enough. Read on...

Revelation, Chapter 21 (WEB)
 1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.  2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.  3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.  4 He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.” 

  5  He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” He said, “Write, for these words of God are faithful and true.”   6 He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life.   7  He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.   8  But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” 

Want a fuller description? Read the rest of the chapter and the first few verses of the next. Still not enough? Well, live an obedient, godly life and write your own description (when you get there)!!!
