Hello, I was wondering if people could list the positive hopes of heaven in the bible, and not our hopes etc, that we have to look forward to. Such as, no more pain or suffering, but more than this. What is heaven like, or the new earth kingdom, what do we do? etc, thanks.

Hello Dave, Welcome, glad to have you here with us, Interesting OP, sounds like you are familiar, but as we read about Positive hopes and blessings in the millennium, first let me point out that we believe that when Jesus said 1st. seek ye the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, is where we can start.

Revelation 21, describes this place, and we try to pay attention to the things concerning His kingdom and do what He says, we are now searching the scriptures, and by His Grace doing His will.

As we notice in your question, it is like you are a Christian and would love to be there in His kingdom, I know it is a prepared place for prepared people. :)(y):coffee:

Love, Walter and Debbie

Great question - Much More, According To The Scriptures, the Heavenly 'hopes'
for us, the Body Of Christ, Eternally Saved By 'Grace through faith':
"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered​
into the heart of man, the things which God Hath Prepared for them that​
love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for The Spirit​
searcheth all things, yea, The Deep Things of God." (1 Corinthians 2:9-10)​

1) Eph 2:6-7

"And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places​
in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come He might shew The Exceeding Riches
Of His Grace In His Kindness Toward us Through Christ Jesus.​
2) 2Co_5:1

"For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved,​
we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the
heavens."​
3) 1Co 15:51-54 (also Rom 8:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)

"Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall
all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last​
trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed.​
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put
on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,​
and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to​
pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory."​

4) Rom 8:17 ( also Eph 3:6; Gal 4:7; Tit 3:7 )

"And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if​
so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together.​
5) 1Co_3:14

"If any man's work abide which he hath built​
thereupon, he shall receive a reward.":​
6) 2Ti_2:12 "If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him..."

7) 1Co_6:3 "Know ye not that we shall judge angels?..."

And probably Much More we don't know yet, but will find out when
we are taken to heaven ( not sure what it's like, but ) Best Of All:

we shall be With our Blessed Redeemer/Saviour, The LORD Jesus ♫ 😇 ↑

Thanks for asking this Great Bible study question.

Amen.

What do we do? Great question. The Law, the Lawgiver and the King of Kings and Lord of Lords will be there. And those who cross over and are called and go into the 7th millennium will be serving as kings and priests here on earth.

1Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.


Hosea 1:9 Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.
10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.

Hosea 2:23 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.

Revelation 1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

Do we need to prepare now as kings and priests? Yeah

Eye has not seen nor ear heard , comes into my mind. No, I cannot, but I do know it is pure joy and wonder.

Jesus said that we will be like the Angels, Not being Married, therefore no procreation(No Diapers).
Paul said that he had been to the third Heaven and words cant describe.
Must be Amazing
