Note: all scriptures are linked to if you want to read them
Currently at one of my churches (yes I go to two because one is my original church and the other I go to youth group for and so I go to their Sunday services sometimes too, and in this case it's that church I'm talking about even though that doesn't matter =P) we've been going over Heaven and frankly it's the best thing I've studied so far. So I wanted to share my notes from it:
First off, the New Jerusalem/Heaven after the tribulation is supposed to be 14,000 miles high, long, and deep! That's frickin' ridiculous and amazing! I wish I could remember the verse for that reference but I can't. Revelation 21:21 says that gold, one of the most precious elements on this earth, will be so invaluable compared to everything else in heaven, that it will be used to pave the streets. Revelation 21:18-27 talks more about what it will look like. I suggest you read it, it's pretty cool. Also, there won't be any sun or moon, so there will be no shadows, how weird is that?! Probably one of the coolest things is that God will be there physically with us! Like, we'll be able to go up and poke Him and be like, "Hey I know you!"
In Revelation 22 it talks about how there will be seasons in Heaven, so it won't be the same all the time. We'll also eat and drink (who knows why, I guess just for fun because if we don't eat it's not like we're going to starve and die).
One of the things I'm look forward to the most in heaven is the relationships. In heaven, there will be no lust, jealousy, tension, confusion, envy, hatred, cliques, trickery, exclusion, dishonesty, or anything else that makes relationships complicated here on earth. How AWESOME will that be?!! You'll be able to go up to someone and not have to think, "Oh I have to be careful with that I say around them, they're sensitive" or "am I being too flirty?" etc etc.
We'll get new bodies (Corinthians 15:24-44), new names (Revelation 2:17), and we might possibly speak a new language up there. Or at least we'll all know some sort of communal language. How cool is that?! I found this (<-- click) site when I was looking for those last two scriptures and it has more stuff in that article about heaven if you want to read it.
