1 | He-man, All the promises of Abraham? | Rom 11:25 | EdB | 139242 | ||
Heaven is where God is. Revelation 21:1-5 (NKJV) 1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 "And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." 5 Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful." Revelation 21:22-27 (NKJV) 22 But I saw no temple in it (New Jerusalem), for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. 24 And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. 25 Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). 26 And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. 27 But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.

2 | God dwell with Men? or Men with God? | Rom 11:25 | MJH | 139270 | ||
You said, Heaven is where God is, but your verses say that God will make his dwelling with men. No where did the term heaven even appear in your passages. I've heard many say, "We will all meet in Heaven some day." But I only read that we will all meet in the New Earth and God will dwell among us. Not unlike when the Tabernacle was built in Exodus, and God dwelt among them. Ex 25:8, “Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them.” Note, it did not say he dwelt IN the sanctuary (where is Glory was) but that He dwelt AMONG them. Again, in Genesis 2, we see God dwelling among Adam and Eve. So, where does the idea of us all living for ever in Heaven come from? MJH |

3 | God dwell with Men? or Men with God? | Rom 11:25 | EdB | 139279 | ||
MJH If we died in Christ today we will go into the presence of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 5:8 (NKJV) 8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. Because the Lord is in the presnce of God that is heaven (remember we are talking about the spiritual realm). However in future we will reside with God on the new Earth. The idea we are going to spend eternity in the spiritual realm of what we now call heaven is based on falsehood. After the second resurrection when we have our incorruptable bodies we will live in realm defined as the New Heaven and New Earth for eternity. However is a sense we will be heaven for as I said where God is, it is heaven. EdB |
