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.

Heaven is where God dwells. It is a specific place; a place of unparalleled tranquility and beauty. It includes the new heaven and new earth.

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.

Existence continues at death for the believer in a fuller, more fulfilling way. Death should hold no fear for the believer.

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

During the tribulation there will be a national turning of Israel to the Lord; they will walk in righteousness. ... God established an everlasting covenant with Israel and it will be of everlasting duration.

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