'Can people in heaven look down and see those of us who are still on the earth?” 'Hebrews 12:1 states, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses..." Some understand the "cloud of witnesses" as being people looking down on us from Heaven. I do not believe that is the correct interpretation. Hebrews chapter 11 records many people whom God commended for their faith. It is these people who are the "cloud of witnesses." They are "witnesses" not in that they are watching us, but rather in that they have set an example for us...they are witnesses for Christ, and God, and truth. Hebrews 12:1 continues, "...let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." 'The Bible does not specifically say whether people can look down on us who are still on the earth. I would guess that they cannot. Why? One, they would sometimes witness us sinning. Two, they would sometimes see things that would cause them grief. Three, I believe that people in heaven are so occupied with worshipping God that they truly don’t care what is happening here on earth. The very fact that they are free from sin, in heaven, and in God’s presence is enough for them to be happy.' 'Related Topics: 'Will I be able to recognize my family members when I get to Heaven?
