Death brings release & removal from all evil, every tragedy & all difficulty. Death is not an enemy.

Scripture indicates that heaven is not distant but rather... heaven is near in another realm.

There is a day coming when all of the suffering, all of the maladies of this life are destroyed, when we, in our glorified bodies, will live in heaven, on the new earth, eternally fulfilling God's ordained purpose for us.

The church is the bride of Christ. The kingdom will be the eternal celebration of the wedding of Christ and the church. We will enjoy rapturous celebration as the bride of Christ in the eternal kingdom.

God created man for fellowship... The fall of man ruined that and Paradise that is, the garden of Eden was lost, but on the new earth paradise will be regained and God will again fellowship with mankind in a unique sense.

It is only as we focus our thoughts on heaven that we will correctly interpret life on earth.

The new earth will be like Eden. ..the deserts will gush with water. ... A beautiful and bountiful land will flourish.
