What might the Kingdom of Heaven be like? Not necissarily the rewards given to the just, but the kingdom itself. What's do you think it's like? Its layout, its countries(if any) the inhabitants, etc. Does it have creatures there like on Earth? Continents? Is it a planet or a flat plane that goes for eternity? Is it like Earth at all, or something completely different?
...You get the idea. NO DEBATING PLEASE!! ![]()

I'm reading a book called 90 Minutes In Heaven, by Don Piper. It's sound awesome.

Paradise in Islam:
Make a web search for 'Paradise in Islam" you will find great information about it. A sample is what Allah says in the Quran below: Quran -[56:10-38]: "And those foremost (In Tawheed and obedience to Allah and His Messenger in this life) will be foremost (in Paradise). They will be those nearest to Allah in the Gardens of Delight. A multitude of those (the foremost) will be from the first generation (who embraced Islam) and a few of those (the foremost) will be from the later (generations). They will be reclining, face to face, on thrones woven with gold and precious stones. They will be served by immortal boys, with cups and jugs, and a glass from the flowing wine, from which they will have neither any headache, nor any intoxication. They will have fruit from which they may choose, and the flesh of fowls that they desire. There will be Houris with wide, lovely eyes (as wives for the pious), like preserved pearls, a reward for deeds that they used to do. They will hear no vain or sinful speech (like backbiting, etc.) but only the saying of: Salam, Salam, (greetings of peace). And those on the Right Hand, who will be those on the Right Hand? They will be among thorn-less lote-trees among Talh (banana trees) with fruits piled one above another, in long-extended shade, by constantly flowing water, and fruit in plenty, whose season is not limited, and their supply will not be cut off. They will be on couches or thrones raised high. Verily, We have created for them (maidens) of equal age, loving (their husbands only). For those on the Right Hand." |

Luke 17:20-21 I think the Kingdom of God is meant to be the 'rule' of God within us - in our lives. So, it is available now...... |

To me the Kingdom of Heaven is more like a prophecy that is being fulfilled and relates to prophecies about bringing peace and unity to the earth..."as it is in heaven"

I know the Kingdom of Heaven in the Midst of me.
Right now. The Kingdom of God comes without perception when you plug in to the Living Sentient UniVerse from deep within. And then with new Kingdom eyes... and active faith... the whole of your REALity is transformed daily before you. You spread your branches... and RISE from within... Life becomes an interactive Majik. The Kingdom of God/Heaven is within the personal sphere and grasp of each and every human being. It just has to be REALized... is all. Last edited by UltraViolet; 04-07-2008 at 04:17 AM. |

No one's answered the question I asked. I didn't ask for prophecies, and specifically said not the rewards. I asked what might the place be like? Not based on religious texts, but on one's own ideas.
