What is Heaven like?

[Stuart5]

I once met a man in the Hospital who told me when he received communion: all his pain stopped and he was filled with inexplainable joy and peace, so much so it caused him to weep. He was an old man — I think he saw a glimpse of Heaven

I view it like Boston in 2004 during the parade for the Red Sox breaking the curse of the Bambino.

He said “Heaven”, not “Hell”

But maybe that’s because I’m a Yankee’s Fan from Boston…

SPOILER ALERT : If anyone has not seen the TV series “Lost” but plans to at some time in the future, skip my post, please!

I’ve always wondered about heaven, so I was glad to read your question, and I enjoyed reading everyone’s posts.

At the end of “Lost,” for anyone who has seen it, we find all the show’s characters in “Heaven,” at the time that one of the characters dies.

There’s been a lot of questions from viewers – why were all of the characters in Heaven, even though only a few of them had died, by the time the main character died and went to Heaven? Why didn’t he have to wait to see them, until the time they naturally died here on earth?

The show’s writers said that in their conception of Heaven, there is no time. So it didn’t matter that, say, 50 years would have to go by, for all of the characters to have died. When the main character died, he was met in Heaven by all of the important people he had loved and known in his short life. Each person who meant something to him, and to whom he meant something, was reunited, and they were all able to live out the afterlife together.

All of the people I know who watched that show cried buckets, watching the finale! It was so deeply moving, to think of a reunion with all the people in your life. So beautiful to think that there will come a day when each of us is reunited under God’s Kingdom.

Peace!
