NASB | Revelation 21:4 and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Revelation 21:4 and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be death; there will no longer be sorrow and anguish, or crying, or pain; for the former order of things has passed away." [Is 25:8; 35:10] |
Bible Question (short): Pure joy in Heaven? |
Question (full): Revelation 7:9 says that we will recognize all family and loved ones in Heaven. Revelation 21:4 says that there will be no more mourning, crying or pain in Heaven. We also know that those who do not follow Jesus Christ will find their place in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur(Rev. 21:8). I am sure many of us have at least one loved one who if died right now will not be going to heaven. Considering these 3 verses; If we recognize our loved ones in Heaven will we recognize the fact that one is missing and if so how can we have pure joy when we know that one of our loved ones has been cast into the lake of fire? |
