How beautiful heaven must be John 142 "In My
Father's house are many mansions if it were not
so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a
place for you. 3 "And if I go and prepare a
place for you, I will come again and receive you
to Myself that where I am, there you may be
also. 4 "And where I go you know, and the way
you know."

Acts 756 .. "Look! I see the heavens opened and
the Son of Man standing at the right hand of
God! Philippians 320 For our citizenship is in
heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the
Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
3
1 Peter 13 Blessed be the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant
mercy has begotten us again to a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the
dead, 4 to an inheritance incorruptible and
undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved
in heaven for you, 5 who are kept by the power
of God through faith for salvation ready to be
revealed in the last time.

Acts 19 Now when He had spoken these things,
while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud
received Him out of their sight. 10 And while
they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went
up, behold, two men stood by them in white
apparel, 11 who also said, "Men of Galilee, why
do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same
Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven,
will so come in like manner as you saw Him go
into heaven."

Hebrews 115 By faith Enoch was taken away so
that he did not see death, "and was not found,
because God had taken him" for before he was
taken he had this testimony, that he pleased
God. 2 Kings 211 Then it happened, as they
continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot
of fire appeared with horses of fire, and
separated the two of them and Elijah went up by
a whirlwind into heaven. 12 And Elisha saw it,
and he cried out, "My father, my father, the
chariot of Israel and its horsemen!" So he saw
him no more.

1 Corinthians 1551 Behold, I tell you a mystery
We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be
changed -- 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of
an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will
sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed. Matthew 811 "And I say
to you that many will come from east and west,
and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in
the kingdom of heaven.
8
Psalm 169 Therefore my heart is glad, and my
glory rejoices My flesh also will rest in hope.
10 For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor
will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption.
11 You will show me the path of life In Your
presence is fullness of joy At Your right hand
are pleasures forevermore.

2 Corinthians 51 For we know that if our earthly
house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a
building from God, a house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan,
earnestly desiring to be clothed with our
habitation which is from heaven, 3 if indeed,
having been clothed, we shall not be found naked.
4 For we who are in this tent groan, being
burdened, not because we want to be unclothed,
but further clothed, that mortality may be
swallowed up by life. 5 Now He who has prepared
us for this very thing is God, who also has given
us the Spirit as a guarantee. 6 So we are always
confident, knowing that while we are at home in
the body we are absent from the Lord. 7 For we
walk by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident,
yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the
body and to be present with the Lord.
10
1 Corinthians 1550 Now this I say, brethren,
that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom
of God nor does corruption inherit
incorruption. Philippians 320 For our
citizenship is in heaven, from which we also
eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus
Christ, 21 who will transform our lowly body
that it may be conformed to His glorious body,
according to the working by which He is able even
to subdue all things to Himself.

1 John 32 Beloved, now we are children of God
and it has not yet been revealed what we shall
be, but we know that when He is revealed, we
shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

Luke 2027 Then some of the Sadducees, who deny
that there is a resurrection, came to Him and
asked Him, 28 saying "Teacher, Moses wrote to
us that if a man's brother dies, having a wife,
and he dies without children, his brother should
take his wife and raise up offspring for his
brother. 29 "Now there were seven brothers. And
the first took a wife, and died without children.
30 "And the second took her as wife, and he died
childless. 31 "Then the third took her, and in
like manner the seven also and they left no
children, and died.
13
32 "Last of all the woman died also. 33
"Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife does
she become? For all seven had her as wife." 34
And Jesus answered and said to them, "The sons of
this age marry and are given in marriage. 35
"But those who are counted worthy to attain that
age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither
marry nor are given in marriage 36 "nor can
they die anymore, for they are equal to the
angels and are sons of God, being sons of the
resurrection.

Revelation 211 Now I saw a new heaven and a new
earth, for the first heaven and the first earth
had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2
Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem,
coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a
bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a
loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the
tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell
with them, and they shall be His people. God
Himself will be with them and be their God. 4
"And God will wipe away every tear from their
eyes there shall be no more death, nor sorrow,
15
nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the
former things have passed away." 5 Then He who
sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all
things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these
words are true and faithful." 6 And He said to
me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the Beginning and the End. I will give of the
fountain of the water of life freely to him who
thirsts. 7 "He who overcomes shall inherit all
things, and I will be his God and he shall be My
son. 8 "But the cowardly, unbelieving,
abominable, murderers, sexually immoral,
sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have
their part in the lake which burns with fire and
brimstone, which is the second death."
16
4 "And God will wipe away every tear from their
eyes there shall be no more death, nor sorrow,
nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the
former things have passed away."

Luke 1623 "And being in torments in Hades, he
lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and
Lazarus in his bosom.

Revelation 219 Then one of the seven angels who
had the seven bowls filled with the seven last
plagues came to me and talked with me, saying,
"Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb's
wife." 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit
to a great and high mountain, and showed me the
great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of
heaven from God, 11 having the glory of God. Her
light was like a most precious stone, like a
jasper stone, clear as crystal. 12 Also she had
a great and high wall with twelve gates, and
twelve
19
angels at the gates, and names written on them,
which are the names of the twelve tribes of the
children of Israel 13 three gates on the east,
three gates on the north, three gates on the
south, and three gates on the west. 14 Now the
wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on
them were the names of the twelve apostles of the
Lamb. 15 And he who talked with me had a gold
reed to measure the city, its gates, and its
wall. 16 The city is laid out as a square its
length is as great as its breadth. And he
measured the city with the reed twelve thousand
furlongs. Its length, breadth, and height are
equal.
20
17 Then he measured its wall one hundred and
forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a
man, that is, of an angel. 18 The construction
of its wall was of jasper and the city was pure
gold, like clear glass. 19 The foundations of
the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds
of precious stones the first foundation was
jasper, the second sapphire, the third
chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth
sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh
chrysolite, the eighth beryl (barrel), the ninth
topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh
jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
21
21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls each
individual gate was of one pearl. And the street
of the city was pure gold, like transparent
glass. 22 But I saw no temple in it, for the
Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon
to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated
it. The Lamb is its light. 24 And the nations of
those who are saved shall walk in its light, and
the kings of the earth bring their glory and
honor into it. 25 Its gates shall not be shut at
all by day (there shall be no night there). 26
And they shall bring the glory and the honor of
the nations into it.
22
27 But there shall by no means enter it anything
that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie,
but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book
of Life. 221 And he showed me a pure river of
water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from
the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the
middle of its street, and on either side of the
river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve
fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month.
The leaves of the tree were for the healing of
the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse,
but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in
it, and His servants shall serve Him. 4 They
shall see His face, and His name shall be on
their foreheads. 5 There shall be no night
there They need no lamp nor light of the sun,
for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall
reign forever and ever.
