This is such a wonderful topic! What is heaven like? What does it LOOK like?
Revelation 4 gives us a brief description of it. And there is more in Revelation. Too many times our attention is focused on the events and we miss the description of heaven that is shared.
When I think of heaven I think of it being the most beautiful place one can imagine because God is a God of beauty, nothing ugly. There will be no decay of any sort: decay is the result of death. I think we get tiny glimpses of heaven when we observe beauty here on this planet or universe.
Jesus said he is preparing a mansion for us...and I would bet it will make earthly mansions look like shacks! Imagine that! And I would hope that everything would be within reach - I am short and weary of getting ladders to climb up on to get things or put them away. Or, maybe I will have an angel to fetch me stuff? (You do imagine these things when you weary of your limitations.)
And the music! Ever imagine what that would be like? If you like that modern racket that man calls music, which grates on your senses, could you even enjoy heavenly music? (Now this is an opinion.)
And the weather: no storms, no stinking hot temperatures nor cold - although I think it would be fun to have snow without the intense cold. In any case, I do not expect to see precipitation as we know it. And if there would be, it would be delightful, I am sure.
Ah, brother, just thinking about it makes one wonder why on earth we work so hard to keep from getting there? Ever heard the saying of a couple that died and went to heaven? They were strolling arm in arm about the place, enjoying it immensely when the husband says, "and just think, we could have enjoyed this ten years earlier if you had not made me eat those oat bran muffins!" I doubt this really happened but the point is well understood.
Now, what do you imagine heaven to be like apart from the absence of sin? (Hey, that alone could make a place seem like heaven!)
