What is In Heaven?

Only those that are born again may enter heaven	John 3:3	"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.""

Christ is preparing heaven.	John 14:3	"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."

It is full of happiness.	Psalms 16:11	"Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore."

It is beautiful	Psalms 50:2	:Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined."

It is forever.	John 3:15	"That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life."

It is perfect.	1 Corinthians 13:10	"But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away."

There is unity.	Ephesians 1:10	"That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:"

There is abundant life.	Revelation 2:7	"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God."

The throne of God will be in the center.	Revelation 4:2	"And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne."

God is in heaven.	Revelation 4:3	"And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne."

There will be many angels.	Revelation 5:11	"And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;"

Jesus is in heaven.	Revelation 7:17	"For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."

It's name is New Jerusalem	Revelation 21:2	:And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband."

The throne of God is surround by 24 smaller thrones.	Revelation 4:4	"And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold."

The menorah is there.	Revelation 4:5	"And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God."

The Holy Spirit is in heaven.	Revelation 14:13	"And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them."

There will be a tabernacle.	Revelation 15:5	"And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:"

Each angel-guarded 12 gates has the name of one of the 12 tribes of Israel.	Revelation 21:12	"And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:"

The city wall has 12 foundations. One for each apostle.	Revelation 21:14	"And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb."

It is approximately 2,744,000,000 cubic miles in size	Revelation 21:16	"And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal."

The wall is about 216 feet in height.	Revelation 21:17	"And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel."

It is described as golden and glass.	Revelation 21:18	"And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass."

Each foundation has a different precious gem.	Revelation 21:19-20	"And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst."

The street of the city is made of transparent gold.	Revelation 21:21	And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

The gates will never be shut.	Revelation 21:25	"And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there."

It is a holy place.	Revelation 21:27	And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

There is everlasting life.	Revelation 22:1	"And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb."

The Tree of Life will bear fruit each month.	Revelation 22:2	"In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."
