What Does the Bible Actually Say about What Heaven Is Like?
· Fascinating biblical and Holy Land insights about heaven and the afterlife
· From an expert biblical scholar, educator, and Holy Land guide
· Includes full-color photos
There are times when eternity presses in and we feel drawn to know more about the place we or our loved ones will be going when this life ends. We don't want guesses or pious platitudes; we want specifics. We want certainty. Heaven, paradise, the new heaven and new earth, the new Jerusalem. Whatever you call it--and the Bible uses all those terms--there has to be real, solid information in the pages of Scripture that paints the full picture, right?
In a word, yes. And What We'll See in Heaven was written to bring these biblical pictures of our heavenly home together in one book. Drawing on his decades of teaching, study, and travel in the Holy Land, John A. Beck points us to the many Bible passages that unpack the realities of heaven using the things of this earth the original Middle Eastern audience would have understood, including
· royal settings, such as throne rooms and banquets
· daily living, such as the design of a Galilean home and the nature of Roman citizenship
· the natural world, such as relationships between animals and humans
· the human experience--those things we see, do, and experience every day that will be reflected in our life to come
Whether you're experiencing the grief of bereavement and long to know what your loved one is seeing and doing, or you're just curious about the eternal home that awaits you, this book will bring comfort, peace, and encouragement.
