"Can you visualize a world with no more death, no more pain,
no more hunger, no more fear, no more sorrow, no more crying nor
sickness, a world where everything is a joy and a pleasure?
A society where everybody works together in
harmony, cooperation and love?
That's Heaven!
No doubt many of us will cry when we first arrive there and
realise just how much our many mistakes have cost & lost.
There will be tears, but thank God He’ll wipe them away with His joy. Then
there’ll be no more tears & no more years, only a happy eternity.“
" And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be
no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any
more pain: for the former things are passed away.” —The Bible Rev. 21:4
"A lot of people think Heaven is sitting around on a cloud
playing a harp all day, doing nothing except being "holy"
– and they don't find it very appealing!
Thank God that is not what Heaven is like!" — DBB
But no matter how much
we try to tell them, it’s
often very hard for
massmedia-oriented
people to see how very
real Heaven is & how
closely it watches over us!
"No heaven can come to us, unless
our hearts find rest in it today.”
— Fra Giovanni
People are also kept very pressured,
busy & caught up in the system which
makes Jesus --& them as well--so sad!
“Thank God for Heaven.
That's where everything
will get straightened out
and made right.“ —DBB
“Earth has no sorrow — that Heaven cannot heal.“
—Sir Thomas Moore
Let’s break loose for a
while & take a look at
Heaven? Shall we?
"Thinking about Heaven can
inspire and encourage us to be
more heavenly-minded and realize
that Heaven is a real place where
we're really going to live." -DBB
"Peace, peace! He is not dead, he does not sleep
—He has wakened from the dream of life.“
-- Percy Bysshe Shelley (English Poet)
Heaven Is Very Real!
C.S. Lewis said:
“Either there IS a 'pie in the
sky' or there is NOT.
“If there is not, then
Christianity is false, for this
doctrine is woven into its
whole fabric.
“If there IS, then this truth,
like any other, must be
faced, whether it is useful at
political meetings or no.“
“In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would
have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” — Jesus in the Bible.
Heaven Is an Actual Place Somewhere
In his 1943 Near Death Experience Psych. Dr. George
Ritchie flew past stars & galaxies towards a very bright
Light, and he actually saw the Heavenly city. He wrote:
"Of the final world I had only a glimpse.
Now we no longer seemed to be on earth, but
immensely far away, out of all relation to it.
“And there, still at a great distance, I saw a city!
But a city — if such a thing is conceivable —
constructed out of light.
“A city in which the walls, houses, streets, seemed
to give off light, while moving among them were
beings as blindingly bright as the One who stood
beside me."
" And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive
you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." - JESUS
"The Heavenly City already exists and
the departed Saints are already there."
–DBB
“The largest City ever
built, built by God Himself!
12000 furlongs! That is
1,500 miles wide and long,
& 1,500 miles high!
It glows with golden light
from its crystal golden
beauty & is full of golden
mansions for you & me!
The streets are made of
scintillating crystal-clear
gold.
Within its shimmering
gates is the Paradise of
God, where the River of
Life winds gracefully
through lush parks.
Where laughing children
& gentle animals play –
& where departed loved
ones await our coming!“
"And the city lies foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth:
and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The
length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.“ –Rev. 21:16 Bible.
Welcome Home My Child!
Psych. Dr. G. Ritchie met Jesus:
"With the presence of Jesus …
(simultaneously, though I must tell it
one by one) … also had entered every
single episode of my entire life.
There they were, every event and
thought and conversation,
as palpable as a series of pictures.
"The light which entered that
room was Jesus:
I knew because a thought was
deep within me, "You are in the
presence of the Son of God."
I have called Him "light," but I
could also have said “Love“, for
that room was flooded, pierced,
illuminated, by the most total
There was no first or last, each one
compassion I have ever felt.
was contemporary,
It was a presence so comforting, each one asked a single question,
so joyous and all-satisfying, that “What did you do with
I wanted to lose myself forever
your time on earth?“
in the wonder of it."
End of Dr. Ritchie’s N.D.E.

was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold,
as it were transparent glass.” —The Bible Rev.21:21

different levels, different
classes, different stages,
some very high, some
very low." -- DBB
"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and
the first earth were passed away; And there was no more sea. And I
John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of
heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” — Rev. 21:1-2. Bible.
There is a River of Life in the Heavenly City
"Its going to be like a beautiful park in some places, & there in the
lower level where the river flows right through the City there are
these beautiful trees growing on both sides. Fruit trees with 12
different kinds of fruit every month, and leaves that will be able to
heal the people outside the City that are still sin-sick of their
disobediences & rebellion against God." —DBB
"There will be no transportation problems in Heaven--you can either glide along, float along or fly."
We’ll Have New Immortal Bodies in Heaven

is slow and heavy
in all its motions,

fire; as active and
as nimble as our
thoughts are.“

the scientific exhibits, the spiritual exhibits, to be able to see
the marvelous wonders of the Spirit World.
" Say you want to know about a certain period & what happened.
You go into this building and all of a sudden you are transported!"
" You're not just shown pictures, not even 3-D pictures, not even
movies, but suddenly you are transported live by a time machine to
that very time, that very age & you see, you watch, you hear, you feel
it happen!
" You are there! Think of it! Not only the movies but the 'feelies'!"—
DBB
WOW!!!
There’s Music in Heaven
"Music will still be a big part of our environment.
The Bible talks about choirs of angels
and how there is singing in Heaven.
“Musicians can look forward to playing
with the best musicians that ever played.
They can even have their own band!"
“We're going to have the greatest choirs,
the greatest bands and symphony orchestras,
the greatest music that the world has ever known.
“If humans can make the beautiful music they have
learned to make with these hand-made instruments,
think what God can do supernaturally!“ - DBB
And There Are …Men & Women in Heaven!
"In Heaven, God will reveal
what on Earth He chose to conceal.“
"But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and
the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and
are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.“ –Jesus.
There’s Sex in Heaven
"Heaven is here to stay and sex is here to
stay! We'll be able to enjoy many of
these so-called fleshly pleasures on the
other side, like Jesus did. In Heaven
there is no need for sex ,because there is
no need for a shadow or illustration—
Just a need to enjoy it.” --DBB
"You are still going to be you. You'll look a lot the same,
only better —much much better."

My Heaven is full of Sinners!
Heaven is full of sinners -that is, people who have
done bad things, but asked
for forgiveness.
So don't ever think that you
are too "bad" to go to
Heaven.
I know everything you have
ever done or said or even
thought, and I still love you
unconditionally.
All I want you to do is to tell
Me you're sorry and invite Me
into your life. – Love! Jesus.
"God will redeem my soul from
the power of the grave:
for He shall receive me."
(Psalm 49:15)--King David
"Would you like to know for sure that you're
going to Heaven too? If you wish, you can
sincerely pray this simple prayer:
“Jesus, I want to know You and to live forever
in Heaven. I know I've made mistakes and done
bad things -- and I'm sorry. I know I don't
deserve it, but I accept Your love and ask that I
can be with You in Heaven. Please come into my
life and help me, and give me peace. Amen.“
Jesus promised to answer your prayer, as He
said: ”I stand at the door and knock. If anyone
hears My voice and opens the door, I will
come into him(her).” [Revelation 3:20 The Bible]
