I have not fully understood our teaching on heaven. I know the #1 best thing is the vision of God and being perfectly united. But, is it an actual place, like, where you “go” and exist with other people? Basically, take it this way. If you’ve ever played World of Warcraft, is it like the world where you interact with other people, or is it in an instanced dungeon where it’s only you and God and other people are in their own personal heavens? Will we live with our families?

Thanks.
 
But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.

1 Corinthians 2:9

It is impossible for us to even grasp the happiness of Heaven. In the Communion of Saints we will all be united. The angels and saints will communicate to us about God, and we will bring His love to others also, communicating His light through each other. The burning Seraphim before the Lord, the shining Cherubim, the entire hierarchy of angels communicate the love of God to one another, from the highest of angels to the lowest, and to men. And above all angels, the Holy Mother of God, will hold the Heart of Jesus itself and communicate to us His love. We shall all glory forever in adoration of the Holy Trinity, and sing with the angels:
Code:
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus
Dominus Deus Sabaoth.
Pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua.
Hosanna in excelsis.
Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini.
Hosanna in excelsis
On earth men envy one another who are better than each other, but in Heaven we rejoice at people who are holier, better, and greater than ourselves. We see all the light of God in them. In Heaven, the more good we did on this earth, the more we will know of the love of God and be able to communicate to others, high and low, and even the least of servants of God will be fulfilled in perfect joy.

We rejoice forever, and if we have come through the ranks of purgatory, if we are saints, we look down on the world below and pray for the world, look over the families, remember our descendents, and offer up our prayers and the merit we gained on earth for those below.

We can no longer sin, we no longer improperly focus, desire or worship anything, but only see God in and through all.

The sacrifice of the mass is celebrated, and we worship as the angels do in Revelation. The incense of our prayers rises before God. . . forever and ever, unto eternity.
 
Jesus said, “the righteous (will go) into eternal life” (Matthew 25:46). The Lutheran theologian, Stump, gives a great definition when he described eternal life as, “the ineffable blessedness which the believers, perfected and glorified in body and soul, and freed from all sin and from all the consequences of sin, shall enjoy forever in the presence of God in heaven.”

The Christian actually possesses eternal life the moment they receive Christ as personal savior. It is fully realized in heaven after we receive our resurrected body.​
