Revelation: Looking Forward to Heaven

Believers must understand that this earth is not their home. We were created for the new heaven and new earth that God has in store. Heaven will not be an interminable church service; rather, heaven will be a place of endless life and excitement. This study will help clear our misconceptions about heaven, because we must understand the great hope we have in order to live rightly on earth. It will also help you understand the effect of the centrality of God's throne on the setting of heaven. Finally, this course warns those who do not believe in Christ—and encourages those who do—about the Lord's impending return, when we will face eternal life or eternal death.
