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

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

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.

As believers we have no need to fear death. Christ himself assures us of a safe arrival home in heaven!

God prevented Adam & Even from ETERNAL SINFULNESS by giving them the gift of death, the ability to exit this life & arrive safely in the wondrous life to come. Death, though it would appear to be man's greatest enemy, would in the end, prove to be his greatest friend. Only through can we go to God.

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

Upon death the believer goes immediately into the presence of Christ in heaven, a realm far better than this earth. Heaven is our true home.
