[John 14.1-6] not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place, I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go, and you know the road. Thomas said to him: Lord, we do not know where to go: how can we know the way? Jesus said: I am the way and the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father except through me.
Because humanity is tied to the land until death, are common misconceptions about heaven. Some people imagine as an ethereal world of spirits floating amorphous, while others strongly deny its existence. Some people have returned from near-death experiences, and described what they saw. Amid all the confusing and contradictory opinions, we would do well to remember that our only safe and correct information on the sky is the Word of God.
The Lord Jesus had direct knowledge of heaven, the Father had come to earth. Shortly before his death, he told his disciples to return to the house of his Father to prepare a place for them, and that he would then take them to their new home. Several weeks later, while on the Mount of Olives, the disciples saw the resurrected body of Jesus ascend to heaven [Acts 1.9-11].
Since that day, the faithful have been waiting for the promised return of the Lord. Each will receive an immortal body of Christ-like resurrection. Be physical, visible and recognizable to everyone. Even be able to eat [Luke 24.41-43]. The sky is literally a place for physical bodies, a place to live, to serve God, worship and enjoy Him forever.
Full details of our heavenly home is impossible, but we can be sure that Jesus will fulfill his promise to return for us. Upon entering the dwelling made to our measure, we know that eventually we will come to our home, and that eternity can never be separated from God. Full details of our heavenly home is impossible, but we can be sure that Jesus will fulfill his promise to return for us.
We are ready for that momentous event, the rapture of the Church of Jesus Christ, which does not take you directly to our true home in heaven and eternal.
[Juan 14:2]: In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you.
He comes for us to inhabit this place! Do not hesitate.
