Personal Eschatology, the end of my life.
The Earthly State; from birth to death.

1. Is Heaven a Real Place?
“Nearly every Christian I have spoken with has some idea that eternity is an un-ending church service...We have settled on an image of the never-ending-sing-along in the sky, one great hymn after another, forever and ever, amen. And our heart sinks. Forever and ever? That’s it? That’s the good news? And then we sigh and feel guilty that we are not more ‘spiritual.’ John Eldredge

2. What is Heaven Like?
HERE’S THE POINT—CITIES WE RELATE TO. A BRIDE WHO IS CELEBRATED AT A PARTY IS SOMETHING WE CAN GET. RECEIVING COMFORT is something we can relate to.
Some basic things:
(1) Heaven will be relocated. Heaven will come to earth.
(2) Heaven is a city; it is a real place.
(3) In Heaven, we will see God.
(4) Going to heaven will be like coming home. “I go to prepare A PLACE for you” Jesus said.
(5) Heaven will be Restorative.

The climax of history will be the creation of a new Heavens and new Earth, a resurrected universe inhabited by resurrected people, living in communion with the resurrected Jesus.
