Heaven Part 1

By: Shaila Touchton | April 04, 2017 1. Few Are Going to Heaven: Scriptures say many people want to go to heaven but God selects only few of them. Scripture Ref: John 3:3:Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God Matthew 7:13,14:Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Luke 13:23-24:Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 2. Animals in Heaven: God's covenant with Noah included both people and animals (Genesis 9:9-11). Elijah was taken up to heaven in a chariot pulled by horses (2 Kings 2:11). We're told there are horses in heaven (Revelation 6:2-8; 19:11). In fact, there are lots of horses, enough for the vast armies of heaven to ride (Revelation 19:11-14 , 2 Kings 6:17). Jeremiah 32:27:Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? Revelation 5:11-12: Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice:“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain .To receive power and riches and wisdom,And strength and honor and glory and blessing!” Revelation 5:13:And every creature which is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying. Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. Genesis 1:30:And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is a living soul, [I have given] every green herb for food.' And it was so. Ephesians 1:10:This plan, which God will complete when the time is right, is to bring all creation together, everything in heaven and on earth, with Christ as head.” Luke 3:6:And all flesh shall see the salvation of God Psalm 36:6 your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your judgments are like the great deep; you save humans and animals alike, O LORD. Nehemiah 9:6:Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. Category: General Christian Articles Tags: Heaven Part 1
