Acts 1:9 Now when He had spoken these things,
while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud
received Him out of their sight. 10 And while
they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He
went up, behold, two men stood by them in white
apparel, 11 who also said, "Men of Galilee, why
do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same
Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven,
will so come in like manner as you saw Him go
into heaven."
Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was taken away so
that he did not see death, "and was not found,
because God had taken him"; for before he was
taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire
appeared with horses of fire, and separated the
two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind
into heaven. 12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried
out, "My father, my father, the chariot of Israel
and its horsemen!" So he saw him no more.
1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I tell you a mystery:
We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed
-- 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at
the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and
the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall
be changed.

Psalm 16:9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my
glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope. 10
For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will
You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. 11
You will show me the path of life; In Your
presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are
pleasures forevermore.
2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house,
this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a
house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For
in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our
habitation which is from heaven, 3 if indeed, having been
clothed, we shall not be found naked. 4 For we who are in
this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to
be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be
swallowed up by life. 5 Now He who has prepared us for
this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as
a guarantee. 6 So we are always confident, knowing that
while we are at home in the body we are absent from the
Lord. 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 We are
confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the
body and to be present with the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that

God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
Philippians 3:20 For our citizenship is in heaven,

He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.
1 John 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God;
and it has not yet been revealed what we shall

Luke 20:27 Then some of the Sadducees, who
deny that there is a resurrection, came to Him
and asked Him, 28 saying: "Teacher, Moses
wrote to us that if a man's brother dies, having a
wife, and he dies without children, his brother
should take his wife and raise up offspring for his
brother. 29 "Now there were seven brothers. And
the first took a wife, and died without children.
30 "And the second took her as wife, and he died
childless. 31 "Then the third took her, and in like
manner the seven also; and they left no children,
and died.
32 "Last of all the woman died also. 33
"Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife does
she become? For all seven had her as wife." 34
And Jesus answered and said to them, "The sons
of this age marry and are given in marriage. 35
"But those who are counted worthy to attain that
age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither
marry nor are given in marriage; 36 "nor can
they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels
and are sons of God, being sons of the
resurrection.
Revelation 21:1 Now I saw a new heaven and a
new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth
had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2
Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem,
coming down out of heaven from God, prepared
as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I
heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold,
the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will
dwell with them, and they shall be His people.
God Himself will be with them and be their God.
4 "And God will wipe away every tear from their
eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow,
nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the
former things have passed away." 5 Then He who
sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things
new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words
are true and faithful." 6 And He said to me, "It is
done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the
Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain
of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7
"He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I
will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 "But the
cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers,
sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all
liars shall have their part in the lake which burns
with fire and brimstone, which is the second
death."
4 "And God will wipe away every tear from their
eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow,
nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the
former things have passed away."
Luke 16:23 "And being in torments in Hades, he
lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and
Lazarus in his bosom.
Revelation 21:9 Then one of the seven angels
who had the seven bowls filled with the seven
last plagues came to me and talked with me,
saying, "Come, I will show you the bride, the
Lamb's wife." 10 And he carried me away in the
Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed
me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending
out of heaven from God, 11 having the glory of
God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like
a jasper stone, clear as crystal. 12 Also she had a
great and high wall with twelve gates, and twelve
angels at the gates, and names written on them,
which are the names of the twelve tribes of the
children of Israel: 13 three gates on the east,
three gates on the north, three gates on the
south, and three gates on the west. 14 Now the
wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on
them were the names of the twelve apostles of
the Lamb. 15 And he who talked with me had a
gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its
wall. 16 The city is laid out as a square; its length
is as great as its breadth. And he measured the
city with the reed: twelve thousand furlongs. Its
length, breadth, and height are equal.
17 Then he measured its wall: one hundred and
forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a
man, that is, of an angel. 18 The construction of
its wall was of jasper; and the city was pure gold,
like clear glass. 19 The foundations of the wall of
the city were adorned with all kinds of precious
stones: the first foundation was jasper, the
second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth
emerald, 20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius,
the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl (barrel),
the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the
eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each
individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of
the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. 22
But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God
Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The
city had no need of the sun or of the moon to
shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The
Lamb is its light. 24 And the nations of those who
are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of
the earth bring their glory and honor into it. 25
Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there
shall be no night there). 26 And they shall bring
the glory and the honor of the nations into it.
27 But there shall by no means enter it anything that
defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only
those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
22:1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life,
clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God
and of the Lamb. 2 In the middle of its street, and on
either side of the river, was the tree of life, which
bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every
month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of
the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse, but
the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and
His servants shall serve Him. 4 They shall see His
face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. 5
There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor
light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light.
And they shall reign forever and ever.
