Revelation 4-5 Explained: What Do We Actually Know about Heaven?

It might surprise you to know that the Bible almost never describes heaven. We see descriptions of the future Kingdom of God and a city called the New Jerusalem, but none of these tell us what heaven looks like right now. So what do we actually know about heaven?

Hi bro! I really loved all your videos. you encouraged me to study bible♥️

[@MrPatdeeee]

(Sorry for the VERY long "comment". But I believe it NEEDS to be espoused) John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. 1 Corinthians 2:9 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. So, think about these Brethren: Suppose Jesus did this: He destroys Our Old Earth, then gives us a New Earth! Then He destroys our Old Heaven and gives us a New Heaven. And then a New Jerusalem and a New Holy Temple, which IS Jesus! (Praise His Holy Name) And lastly: He will give ALL "Born Again's", a New Body, a New Name and a New Life. Which will be Forever; and be "ONE" with Jesus. To live in, all of those "Newbies", Forever. Wow! Whatcha think Brethren? In any case...May Jesus bless you and Yours Always. Amen!

So why Did Jesus tell us that in his fathers gouse there areany mansions &he. Is going to prepare a place for us???

[@TheBibleExplained]

There's a lot to that question, but essentially Jesus was using a wedding picture. In their society, a groom would build onto his father's house preparing a place for his bride before marrying her. Jesus says that the place where we will live forever with Him is plenty big enough... This, I think, refers to the New Jerusalem found in Revelation 21-22.

​@@TheBibleExplainedThe Father's house is in heaven. New Jerusalem will come down on the earth from heaven. These are different.

Some translations say "many rooms" which is more accurate.

THANK YOU

Idk if you agree with the book of Enoch but he really has a nice in depth description of his trips to heaven that could help you more

[@JTHill-ed7qe]

I sure hope he does mind if hes educated which i believe him to be! The book of Enoch was not very obviously for one written by Enoch. 2. It's a fact that is a much MUCH later writing. 3 it completely contradicts the Bible which is good enough reason to know it wasn't divinely inspired even if we didn't already know it was nothing more than just an extra biblical "fan fiction" writing! It's ok for a fun read and just interesting as a historical writing. It bares no weight in anyway to interpret with scripture though so be very careful with that. God bless. ☝️✝️🙏🙌❤️🔥

[@kasoanful]

Hello sir. What a great work you have done explaining scripture. May please suggest taking a look on Madhi in Koran.He is their coming savior with Jesus as a prophet. And every detail of his coming is exactly what Antichrist will do.

[@corndoc]

Amen

[@RioSul50]

The description of His train filled the temple refers to the practice in ancient times when a king defeated another king(dom) the losing king would be killed and his train (part of his garb) would be removed and sewn onto the winning kings train. The longer the train the more victories a king had. God has the longest train as He is victorious over ALL His enemies.

[@TheElizabethashby]

IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE THERE ARE MANY MANSIONS THESE PLACES ARE JUST DWELLING PLACES NOT BIG BUILDINGS WE STAYED THERE UNTIL WE COME WITH KING JESUS TO RULE 1000 YEARS OF JESUS MIGHT HAVE JUST SPOKEN TO THE DISCIPLES NOT THE CHURCH

What is positioning of the seraphim vs cherubim relative to God's throne according to scripture

[@TheBibleExplained]

In Isaiah 6 they were "above" the throne, but in Revelation 4 they were "around" it (assuming that the beasts in Rev 4 are seraphim, as they seem to be)

[@Yechurchonline]

Heaven is actually described as the new Jerusalem which exists in heaven right now, which does have the streets of Gold and currently where Gods throne is. Which was made from the foundation of the world and won’t be remade when God makes a new heaven and earth

[@TheBibleExplained]

It's there any actual basis for this? ... Because Jesus said that He would "prepare" a place, not that the place had already been prepared since the foundation of the world (John 14:1). Revelation 15:5 clearly tells us that there is a Temple in heaven, but Revelation 21:22 clearly tells us that there is no Temple in the New Jerusalem. Everything we know from the text suggests that heaven is not the New Jerusalem, and the New Jerusalem is not heaven.

@@TheBibleExplained ok well I just heard another pastor explain it that we, he was Alan Nolan on cornerstone fellowship KZbin channel. He actually has a video on the tree of life and I would love for you to do a video on that because he claims there are going to be normal people on the new earth that need the tree life to live forever! Love your channel 🥰

[@TheBibleExplained]

@@Yechurchonline interesting. I'll take a look at it

[@Yechurchonline]
