new heaven
We've all heard and probably said it when someone passes away....their in heaven now.
I don't want to dissect the subject of heaven but I do have a thought.
I have never thought of heaven being biblical correct for where the dead are right now. Some what argue that the dead stay in the ground. Some what say that the dead are in paradise. We all have different opinions of the scriptures we read.
I have believed the dead were with Christ because to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
Here is my thought.....if there is to be an new heaven and a new earth than there must have been an old heaven and an old earth. Right?
Here is the scripture....
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. Rev 21:1
I have never looked at it from this point of view.
From here on out I won't feel so bad about saying the dead are in heaven (now).
Old Heaven and New Heaven.
What an thought...
