My sister had a near death experience at 32 when her heart stopped beating. She saw her dog in Heaven! She described it as so real she could feel the ground under her back, and the texture of her dog's fur as she petted her. Georgia isn't the type to live for animals like I am, so she didn't go there expecting to or longing to see her pets again. So, this was no wishful thinking or trick of the brain as some like to claim near death experiences are. I hope this brings everyone reading this comfort as it does me. My cat is laying beside me dying at this very moment. I love him every bit as much as my four human daughters so the pain is great. Remember Luke 3:6 "And all flesh shall see the salvation of God". It's popularly translated as "all people", but not in the word for word KJV translation. Praise His Holy Name!

I believe God loves all his creation, animals and people are special and we will pass through death as spiritual truth.

[@aaronowen4425]

I apologize for the length and the disjointedness of some of this - I am working on it and so it has a lot that needs fixing, however I hope that the points will be clear enough to make since to people. I lost my little dog of 10 years 6 days ago and it has been harder than any pet I have ever lost - she was very special to me. The grief was near unbearable. I lay in bed and prayed that God would give me help over losing her and I woke up with the thought of Jesus and the saints riding back on horses and from that verse after verse has been flooding my mind and this is the results so far. I hope others can get some little help from it. all that has breath will praise the Lord treasures laid up in heaven (where a man's treasures are is where his heart is in biblical times what did the average man think of as treasure? - a nice home {took care of in the promised mansion} gold and jewls {the streets and walls in heaven are made of them} good health {we are promised that and eternal life in heaven} the hope of having family and friends there? {I would say that's a treasure definitely} they also considered their animals treasures {in the bible every time a mans riches are mentioned animals are mentioned - flocks and herds, Kind Solomon horses, camels peacocks etc... ) Romans 8:14 -25 Revelation 5:13 Every creature will be heard saying blessing and honor to God by the first Adam the curse and death entered into the world and by the second Adam the curse and death will be removed If what the first Adam did cast all of man kind into a state of being lost and put all of creation into being under the curse - how much of a disservice to Jesus and His sacrifice would it be to say it only "fixed" the first part but creation would not receive fixing even though in Genesis God stated everything was good? The fact that in the old testament before the PERFECT sacrifice came, animals were used as the sacrifice because they were innocent (NOT guilty of the law) thus Fido doesn't have the requirement of getting saved instead the sacrifice is to redeem man and thus in time the curse to be lifted. I have several reasons to believe that there is a high probability that people who love their pets will have them in eternity (along with ALL the animals that have ever existed). here are a few from the Bible - 1. in Genesis, God's original plan was for man and creatures to live in the Garden in harmony without death (death is a wage for sin and came about because of man's fall) I have heard some say "Man was suppose to be eternal but not the animals" but if that were the case than why does it say in Genesis 1:29 & 30 that God gave man AND every beast the herbs to eat (implying that all ate plants and didn't kill or eat meat so most likely no death) So that implies to me the animals were going to live along side man in harmony for eternity until the fall. 2. Noah and his family were brought onto the ark along with representatives of the animals which were saved for man's sake. To me the story of the flood and the ark is a picture of salvation (God loves to use pictures to make His point so it seems) By faith Noah built the ark to the saving of him and his family. Here is the picture I see. Noah preached and any could come into the ark if they chose but only him and his family chose to. A picture of man choosing to have faith in God or choosing to reject God. However, the animals God brought into the ark - they were innocent. Seems to me that this is a picture of eternity God could have just as easily let every animal perish in the flood and when the waters receded spoke new animals into existence. Seems to me that would be a truer picture if the animals such as the horses Jesus and the saints ride back on and the lion and the lamb laying down together were "new" animals in eternity. (also God works in dispensations and it seems that THIS is the time period for creation) 3. Ecclesiastes 3:14 " I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him." "whatsoever" is like "whosoever" it's all inclusive God created it so it will be forever (that is probably why God has no choice but to separate those who reject Him in Hell instead of just annihilating them.) God didn't just create the body but also the mind and the part of them that makes them individual ( anyone who has a dog or cat knows there is individuality in them). 4. II Samuel 12:1 - 5(for those who like to use the without natural affection rout) describes in perfect detail a pet and talks about how the man loved the little ewe AS A DAUGHTER. King David while guilty of heinous sins was still a man after God's own heart and was angered at the story and in fact was going to give the same punishment to the man for killing the man's pet as if he had killed one of the man's children - death 5. While I don't have to have my pets in eternity to be happy, God would be enough but the bible also says where a man's treasure is so is his heart (my pets would be a big treasure to me)... I also wouldn't have to have a mansion (the mansion is just icing on the cake) but God want's to lavish His bride so why would he withhold anything (while I would love to have the mansion I would rather have my pets, but I am over joyed with going to get the Mansion) a person can desire to have their pets with them without it belittling how much they love God. Just like a person can look forward to having the mansion but if the mansion becomes the priority that's where a problem develops. A lot of Christians who are not close to animals have a lack of empathy for people who are close to animals. It seems like some of the things they love to use (I don't mean this derogatorily towards other Christians I just think it is done out of ignorance) is - " the person loves the animal more than God", "the person is without natural affection" , "if the person loves their pet that much than they have put the pet on too high of a position and they must not be right with God" "you shouldn't need your pet in eternity to be happy" "Fido cant get saved" well Fido didn't cause the fall and is innocent and rode Adam's coat tail into the fall by the curse so is not responsible for breaking the law. etc... I think they are looking at the situation wrong. I know there are people that yes they do love their pet in a wrong way maybe by loving it more than people etc.. but that isn't what I am talking about nor do I believe most people fall into that category. Anyway I have other reasons but this is way too long as is so I will end it with that... God loves us and why would he with hold something so simple from us. So in conclusion I have full faith that when God says that the earth will be remade perfect that that also includes the animals and He will have them there and we will enjoy them just as we will the mansion and streets of gold. Am I looking at this completely wrong and crazy or does it make since to anyone else?

[@jflsdknf]

There is a belief that every soul starts out lowly and has to go through several "stages" of life forms before reaching the top aka "human." From plant to animal to eventually human. I like this idea because it makes more sense as to why God would leave animal salvation out of the Bible or them going to heaven - if they were going to eventually be reborn human and have the chance to obtain salvation in that life. Plus, I'll never grasp why some life just happens to be born animal or insect and others are born human. It blows my mind and that provides an explanation. Probably deeper than necessary for this video, but yeah. So basically I'm not sure I believe we'll see our pets in heaven. I think their souls might continue on until they get a chance at God's salvation too.

[@davidwp5761]

It talks about children putting their hands on the adder's den. I think this is more of the same, and that it actually means that all animals will follow even a little child. Remember, God made man to have dominion over all the animals and it shall probably be that way again if I read this correctly.

PETS IN HEAVEN A lot of people wonder about whether their previous pets will be waiting for them when they arrive in Heaven, the answer is definitely YES, but there will be some problems. All of the pets you have owned during your lifetime will be waiting for you so don't be surprised if you are greeted by say, 26 cats, maybe 10 dogs, perhaps a few horses and a donkey, this will be a handful for you and the time taken to tend to all these animals won't leave you with much time for praying and singing hymns, then there is the jealousy factor, fights between the dogs, sexual activity between the male and female cats, this will excite the dogs who will try to tear the cats to shreds. Then there will be people up there who have brought along unusual pets, such as myself, if Jesus allows you to have a pet kitten then he can hardly object to my pet crocodile named Boris, there's no discrimination in Heaven but you had better keep an eye on Fido and Kitty because Boris might take it into his head to make a meal of them, can you imagine the uproar? Boris has just finished eating Fido and Kitty when Jesus intervenes, next thing you know Jesus is running for his life with Boris chasing him snapping at his butt, and those Angels would be a tasty treat for a hungry crocodile. The next problem would be cleaning up after your pet Rottweiler has fouled the sidewalk on Gods streets of gold, would Jesus supply you with a shovel and a bucket or would he employ street cleaners? It seems there would be a lot of problems and not the least would be the inmates of Heaven fighting each other over problems with their pets, perhaps Jesus will employ Police Officers to sort it all out. Also there will be a lot of believers there who died on Earth over the last 6000 years, they would probably have their camels, donkeys and goats with them and if you are driving down the golden streets you might crash into a herd of camels who are not traffic savvy. Oh so many questions but I expect Jesus will sort it out. (If he escapes from Boris)

ALL animals or just pets?

[@jadehadfield7626]

they do

[@danielaelenabadauta3517]

I am sure that, someday, we will meet again and we will be together with them. They will be waiting for us there. All animals are God's creation. I dreamed of the dog that died, it was playing with many animals, in a field, it had friends and it was happy. He was playing with a bear and was happy that he had many friends. Then I dreamed that my parents (who died a long time ago) came and took him with them. They told me: From now on we will take care of him.

[@maebischer]

Romans 8,19-23 (KJV)states it clearly. 'For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.' Animals and all creation will be freed from the bondage of corruption like the children of God and the whole creation anticipates that day. Yes, animals will be in Heaven and the new earth.

Do people wonder about the animal on their dinner plate? Does it go to heaven? If it does, will it want them to join them there? If it does not, and it’s innocent life was taken for your pleasure - do you deserve to go?

[@MM-yk9un]

They do go, every animal and fish could exist from creation if it's His will . Multiple worlds could contain everything. Thru Him everything is possible.

[@barbaragray5781]

I believe the animals in heaven not have that instinct to attack others that are not of their species , after all this will be heaven and there will be no animosity there. Otherwise how could the lion lie down with the lamb? Something to think about.

[@catrinahartz944]

Yes! They do! Look up Ecclieistatsis 3 19 -20. I have to put my poor sweet cat down today. 11 yrs old. God does NOT GIVE US ANIMALS ONLY TO TAKE THEM AWAY! The Bible us not silent on it! It says it in that scripture! Look it up! They have souls. I'm a huge animal lover and cry over the animals killed!! God has told me that they are ALL WITH HIM! GOD CAN DO ALL THINGS. ANIMALS ARE INNOCENT!

[@douglaidlaw740]

What goes to Heaven is the spirit. Do animals have souls? Free will is a characteristic of a human soul; the scientific opinion seems to be that even the most intelligent animals do not have free will. Pets are a joy to their owners; it is the owners who want them there. Would there be a place for them in Heaven? I simply don't know. Pets have shorter lives, and one person can have several pets. The question is starting to get complicated. Have you read _Rainbow_Bridge_ ? It is on the Web. It is a charming piece of fiction, for those who have lost pets

PLEASE TELL ME HOW YOU CAN BE BORN AGAIN LIVING IN A CORRUPTIBLE BODY THAT WILL ROT AND DECAY, WHEN THE RESURRECTION SAYS YOU WILL DIE WITH A CORRUPTION BODY? The way the bible reads we will be born again after we die NOT BEFORE BELOW PETER TELLS YOU WHAT BORN AGAIN MEANS. 1 Peter Chap 1/23) Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. Corruptible Means) The act of corrupting or making putrid, or state of being corrupt or putrid; decomposition or disorganization, Tending to decomposition or (DECAY;) Incorruptible Means) Not corruptible; incapable of corruption, decay, or dissolution; HOW CAN YOU BE BORN AGAIN HERE ON THIS EARTH IF YOU DIE IN CORRUPTION AND YOUR BODY WILL (DECAY) ? #3 YOU ARE BORN AGAIN when you are raised Incorruptible AND ALL Will be giving a spiritual body, and your body WILL NOT DECAY. The Resurrection Body 1st Corinthians 15 42So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. 47The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. 48As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 49And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 1ST Cor15/ 50Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, John 3/3) 3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he (CAN NOT) see the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. In verse 5 he used the word enter. John3/4 4Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. COMMENT Of course; we all know that the baby before birth resides completely in protective water; as they are growing inside the uterus of mom. At the physical birth; water expels everywhere; I've witnessed this. As I'm sure you probably have. So "born in the flesh" is; ..."born of the water"

[@pjcaradoc]

Here's a thought: Although animals may not have souls, they have consciousness/sentience, clearly. Therefore, cannot God recreate/ressurect the consciousness of animals who have died? Therefore your pets can be in Heaven, as God intended? Forgive me if I am wrong, I just want some closure, as my dog died not that long ago, and I still miss him.

Why are all videos directed to ‘pets’ going to heaven? This confirms the selfish mentality of a human being. Always thinking about their own needs. The real question which I’m pondering is : Do animals go to heaven ?

The lady said she heard “ the piglets and calves screaming as they roasted alive “ This really torments my spirit. Please answer whether animals who suffer go to heaven. They don’t deserve that happening to them :( I’m having a hard time dealing with this.

It's possible that housebroken animals that serve humans have a better chance of going to heaven because they're serving us, they worship us who are in God's image. The Bible says animals worship God in their own way. Probably just by fulfilling their roles in this world, wether it be by being man's best friend, or eating pests, bringing balance to the ecosystem, that's how they enter heaven.

We had to say goodbye to our dog today. It's not my first time talking to a loving pet who's come to the end of his or her life through to the end. It's never easy if you truly love your companions. I'm human and although my faith is pretty solid I can't help but grieve at the loss. I'd ask anyone who reads this to pray for me and my family. I believe in scripture and I read so many places in the Bible that really do give me hope that I'll be with my precious pets again. That said, I do believe these animal souls were placed in my carnal life for a purpose. My father in heaven game them all to me as companions here on earth and to minister to me as well and all he ever asked was I love and take care of them. That being true, why would my father do something so special and bless me with these wonderful earthly souls, these companions, only to leave them behind after he renews his kingdom. Roman's 8:20-21 and 11:36 come to mind here. In addition, I'd tell anyone to read over Colossians 1:16 Psalm 138:6. And of course, Proverbs 12:10 is a must for all pet owners. I believe it's logical to assume. And I base that logic on scripture that he'll save them because he loves them and not only that, I'll be allowed to be with my precious pets again in heaven and know they're safe.

My sister had a near-death experience when her heart stopped beating at 32. She woke up in Heaven on a grassy hill and could feel the ground under her back. She saw her dog! My sister's not the "type" who lives for animals like I am, so this was not some "trick of the brain" as some say. I hope this brings you comfort and hope as it does me. Remember the scripture, "All flesh shall see salvation" Luke 3:6. It's often translated as all "humans", but the word for word translation, as The King James version intends, says "flesh". Praise God!

well i pray my pets go to heaven!

[@japod812]

we might not have our beloved pets with us we really don’t know till we are there. Isaiah’s description of the peace of God’s future kingdom where he says that “the wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox” (Isaiah 65:25). Heaven will lack nothing that is good and that will bring glory to God. We will make new friends in the new earth. God loves all creatures.

Thank you, Dr. Betters. So many people need that hope, because of the loss of their pets. I completely agree with everything you said. Our God is love. He gets millions of prayers about pets, all the time. I think he plans on surprising us, which is why he is silent on the subject. No eye has seen...no ear has heard... Amen.

I love my bearded dragon, cats, and dogs I had. I want to be with them forever

[@danielvaughn3893]

Amen. God Bless you

I read the description and it said something about someone called Buster, it crushed my heart because I had a dog called Buster and he got hit by a car and... didn't survive. My dad told me when I got home from school and I was so sad and heart broken I couldn't move. Buster is like a brother to me. I loved him and when he died, I cried for 10 weeks every night. I would hide my sadness from everyone but I pray every night and talk to Buster. I never hear him talk back but I talk about how I miss him so much and I know he would never want to see me sad. I love him so much. I can't wait until my time has come, but my journey has only just begun.

Sorry for your great loss of Buster. We had a dog Buster, a Shhp dog, that loved to run about. Passed at the age of 6 year old with kidney failure. Sadly missed, but he was only ours for a while. He is now in Heaven awaiting my arrival. Be thankful that you could love your Buster daily, and some day you will see him again.

I think if God made animals they do go to heaven my pastor thanks so

[@nicholasb3942]

My chicken just died, thank you for these comforting words

[@tree7249]

Why not? They very well may be in heaven. I beleave they will and there is no harm in that right or wrong.

God is omnipotent, He can and will recreat our pets just as He will with us at the resurrection. In the new earth to come; I know that I will see all my pets, gone before! THY RIGHTEOUSNESS IS LIKE THE GREAT MOUNTAINS; THY JUDGEMENT ARE A GREAT DEEP: O LORD THOU PRESERVEST MAN AND BEAST. PSALM 35: 36

[@franceskaCapone]

I stand with those theologians who believe God's word ... that it is "man" who sinned and is in need of a Savior, not His animals. The Bible speaks of even Jesus having & riding a white horse, of a wolf and lamb hanging out together, of a child sitting safely with a snake, etc. How many examples does God need to provide? Seems He settled the issue in His word.

[@michaelkurz9067]

Anyone that had lost a (fury child) due to sickness or cancer will reunit with their fury child but you have to believe that there is a Almighty God I had lost 3 fury pets and I will reunit with my kids

[@joogie1849]

That's the problem! We are NOT superior. We must learn to respect each other. We are disconnected from Animals, nature & our planet. Bible is also man-made. Animals can survive very well without us. But we can't without them.

[@clarissegomez9275]

I really hope i see my pets in heaven.

[@markmark774]

In the Bible it says in the life to come the lion will lie down with the lamb. On a t.v. show a few years ago about life after death a woman saw a ladder from heaven with cats and dogs running up the ladder into a golden light. She said, "I never knew animals survived death!" It was a great show. I believe that God will provide for the redeemed whatever they loved in this life will be given in the next. Trust in Jesus Christ, the hope and the life. God truly loves those who trust and love and obey Him. What is beyond this life is worth the trip...being reunited with those we've loved and lost, including our animals is worth everything.
