In the minds of some, when the word, “heaven” is mentioned, images of a white robe, harps, angel wings, halos and sitting on a cloud for all eternity in a never-ending church service come to mind. It no surprise why some people picture Heaven as a place to go to be bored for the rest of eternity.

 How does the Bible describe the place believers go when they die? What does it mean to be “absent from the body, and present with the Lord”? What’s that place like? Is that the same as the new heavens and new earth the book of Revelation talks about?

While we’re on the topic, what are we going to be doing for all eternity? Will we see our old pets? Will we recognize loved ones and remember our lives on earth? Will there be sex in heaven? Will we eat? Drink? Watch baseball? And why doesn’t God let everybody go to heaven?
