What is heaven gonna be like?

Does the bible give us a description of heaven? Yes it does! In the New Testament book of Revelation, chapter 4 we read:

Scene in Heaven

1 After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice which I had heard, like the sound of a [war] trumpet speaking with me, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things.” 2 At once I was in [special communication with] the Spirit; and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with One seated on the throne. 3 And He who sat there appeared like [the crystalline sparkle of] a jasper stone and [the fiery redness of] a sardius stone, and encircling the throne there was a rainbow that looked like [the color of an] emerald. 4 Twenty-four [other] thrones surrounded the throne; and seated on these thrones were twenty-four elders dressed in white clothing, with crowns of gold on their heads.

The Throne and Worship of the Creator

5 From the throne came flashes of lightning and [rumbling] sounds and peals of thunder. Seven lamps of fire were burning in front of the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God; 6 and in front of the throne there was something like a sea or large expanse of glass, like [the clearest] crystal. In the center and around the throne were four living creatures who were full of eyes in front and behind [seeing everything and knowing everything that is around them]. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second creature like a calf (ox), the third creature had the face of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle. 8 And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes all over and within [underneath their wings]; and day and night they never stop saying,

“Holy, holy, holy [is the] Lord God, the Almighty [the Omnipotent, the Ruler of all], who was and who is and who is to come [the unchanging, eternal God].”

9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanksgiving to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne, and they worship Him who lives forever and ever; and they throw down their crowns before the throne, saying, 11 “Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they exist, and were created and brought into being.” (Revelation 4:1-11 Amplified)

In verse 1 is says, God is going to show us the things which will be taking place in heaven.  In verses 5 - 8, it describes the largest, most awesome worship service taking place at the throne of God. It’s complete with light show made of flashes of lightning (better than any laser show on earth), bass sounds using peals of thunder, God’s Holy Ghost, pyrotechnic, lamps of fire, and a sea of glass in front of the throne which I’m sure amplifies the sounds of worship and praise. 

I’ve been to many awesome concerts in my lifetime, but nothing will compare to God’s Worship Show at the center of His throne.  Living creatures with eyes in the front and behind.  They’re described as looking like a lion, a calf, a face of a man and a flying eagle. Each with six wings and full of eyes who never stop saying, 

“Holy, holy, holy [is the] Lord God, the Almighty [the Omnipotent, the Ruler of all], who was and who is and who is to come [the unchanging, eternal God].”

The 24 elders fall down and worship Him who lives forever and ever saying “Worthy are you to receive glory, honor and power.  

God created us for His pleasure and we only exist because of His will. And His will is that we give Him all the glory, honor and power.  Don’t wait till we get to heaven to enter into worship and praise. 

Jesus said, “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth”. (John 4:23-24 KJV)

Will you be a worshipper today?
