The Shocking Truths About Heaven, Hell and Your Birthright Blessing: Volume I

By Franklin T. Gibbs

This book reveals what you always wanted to know about the issues of life, death and the afterlife. Supported by Scriptures, it reveals shocking truths about heaven, hell and your birthright blessing.

There're four components to Gods birthright (covenant) blessing which are His (1) word blessing, (2) peace blessing, (3) wealth blessing, and (4) eternal life blessing. God set this inheritance aside for you before you were born. There's enough abundance in your birthright blessing to fulfill every need you have. It entitles you to dwell in a land of utopia whereby your peace, health, friendships, quality of life, holiness and well being are absolutely perfect. Speaking of the good life, it doesn't get any better than this.

This book shows that (1) you have a personal calling on your life (youre created for a purpose), and (2) your racial group has a calling to fulfill. You need to know your personal and racial callings, for they are eternal. Before you can appreciate what God has in store for you, you need to know who you are (the real you that God created you to be). This book reveals the real you.

This book also confirms the reality and location of heaven and the materials saints new bodies will be made of. It shows what saints do in Paradise now and forevermore. You'll be delighted and pleasantly surprised to know your heavenly activities.

This book reveals (1) where Hades is located (the temporary abode of sinners called the region of disembodied spirits), (2) where the permanent place of torment is located called the eternal lake of fire, and (3) the cursed materials sinners bodies will consist of. In hell, sinners' bodies will burn to ashes and be recycled to burn all over again. God's Scriptures confirm these truths.

INTRODUCTION

A Critical Book That Must Be Read By Everyone

Once you’ve seen the cover, the back, or any page of this book, you are held accountable for its contents. Whether or not you belong to Jesus, it is absolutely crucial for you to read this book. Its message is very powerful, revealing, and soul stirring. You will not be able to contain yourself as you read it page by page and discover the shocking truths about heaven, hell, and your birthright blessing.

This book is for every person on the face of this earth. It not only gives you a panoramic view of God’s master plan for mankind, but it shows you how you fit into God’s plans. That is, you can see your lifeline extending from the day God conceived you in His mind, throughout your present life and on into eternity.

Down through the ages, man has been searching for answers about his purpose for being here. Man has been asking, Why was I born? What is God’s purpose for my life (i.e., what is my calling)? Who am I? Man also needs to know why God created his particular racial group—i.e., he needs to know how his racial group fits into God’s plans? Every man, therefore, needs to know his racial purpose?

This book not only answers these quintessential questions in detail, but it confirms its answers with irrefutable, biblical proof. You no longer have to guess or speculate about God’s purpose for your life. This book provides a comfortable, family room setting where you’ll learn (step-by-step) your true self (who you are deep down inside), why you’re here on earth and how you fit into God’s plans.

As soon as a little toddler is able to talk to you with reason, he wants to know why. Just about every time a toddler becomes aware of something in his environment; he not only wants to know all about it, but he wants to know where it came from and why it exists—i.e., he wants to know its purpose.

His little voice constantly churns out questions about the things he observes in the world of his surroundings. Why is the grass green daddy? Who made the flowers and do puppies go to heaven daddy? Where did I come from mommy and how did I get here? Their little inquisitive minds reveal that from the early stages of his existence, man begins to grapple with questions about God’s creation, the reasons for things, and how he fits into the picture. As noted before, this book answers these questions in great detail.

With that in mind, this book centers on one of the key promises that God made to mankind: His free gift of the four components of His marvelous birthright blessing. These component blessings will be explained in great detail in this book.

God’s birthright blessing is so critically important to His purpose for mankind that He has revealed this special blessing over and over from the book of Genesis to the book of Revelation. This book includes a plethora of Scriptures that support this divine truth.

In this light, it’s crucial that you know the details of your birthright blessing. God endowed your birthright with a myriad of natural and spiritual blessings. You have a choice. You can accept God’s birthright blessing unto salvation or reject it unto eternal damnation. Since this book shows the results of both choices, it must be read from cover to cover by saved and unsaved people.

Relative to the birthright blessing, this book expounds on the individual calling that God gave each person. It also expounds on the calling that God gave each racial group—i.e., God gave each racial group a unique racial calling to fulfill.

These unique racial callings are identified through the three primary bloodline branches (1) the bloodline branch of Shem, (2) the bloodline branch of Ham, and (3) the bloodline branch of Japheth. We’ll study these truths in great detail.

In light of God’s birthright blessing, this book unveils God’s purpose for interracial marriages between men and women whose marriages are based on God’s holy principles. The mixed children of color from these marriages—in far too many cases—suffer identity crises.

That is, far too many of them don’t really know which race they belong to. Many times they’re ridiculed and called half-breeds who don’t have a true identity. This book not only dispels this myth, but it reveals God’s purpose for mixed children of color (from interracial marriages) both in this world and in the new world to come.

Your spiritual knowledge will be greatly enriched when you see how God, in His infinite wisdom, not only designed the races to display a spectrum of colors (on purpose), but He also designed your father’s blood to be a key factor in identifying your racial function and mission in life. After reading this book, your unique racial purpose will be much clearer to you.

This book, also answers the age old questions about heaven and hell. Are these places real or are they myths? Hold on to your hat as this book explains—in full detail—the shocking truths about heaven and hell. I promise you an up front and close up view of the amazing facts about these two places. You will not have to wonder about heaven and hell anymore. The shocking truths about heaven and hell are now in your hands.

This book shows that heaven is a land of utopia with streets paved with gold. No one gets sick in heaven, for God gives His people new, glorious, immortal bodies. Not only does God give His people new bodies, but He wipes away all tears from their eyes and they live throughout all eternity.

This writing shows that there are no such things as sorrow, crying or pain in heaven because there are no sicknesses or deaths there. Instead of hurtful things, there is a peace in heaven that passes all understanding. Heaven’s peace is so blessedly tranquil that people get along with each other in perfect harmony. Even its animals are tame and filled with God’s heavenly peace.

This book shows the abundant treasures of heaven. In the world to come, God’s people will enjoy all the wealth and riches they could ever hope for, dream of, or imagine. The heavenly blessings described so far barely scratch the surface relative to what this book reveals about the shocking truths about heaven and earth in the eternal state. God’s people will enjoy heaven’s ecstasy, peace and sweet bliss forevermore. Their joy will be full!

Not only is heaven a real place, but this book reveals (1) its location, and

(2) the material that believers’ bodies will be made of on the other side.

Hell, on the other hand, is the most hideous place of torment you can imagine. Hell is unfit for human or angel habitation. This book shows that hell is a place of blazing infernos, billowing with black smoke. Sinners and evil angels will burn forevermore in the midst of these blazing infernos. With respect to hell’s fury, this book unveils the meaning of the symbolism associated with God’s seal judgments, trumpet judgments and vial (bowl) judgments.

That said, not only is hell a real place, but this book reveals (1) the location of hell which is the permanent abode of lost sinners, (2) the location of Hades—the temporary abode of lost souls, and (3) the cursed material that sinners’ bodies will be made of. In addition to showing you the shocking truths about heaven and hell, this book shows you a myriad of other spiritual truths that are crucial relative to the issues of life, death, and your birthright blessing.

For example, this book reveals how to get your three most precious possessions (your mind, spirit and body) into the safest place in the universe: God’s kingdom. This book shows what will happen to your three most precious possessions (your mind, spirit and body) if you don’t get them into the safest place in the universe.

If your three most precious possessions are not in the safest place in the universe, you will be in great peril. For, the day is coming—and this book verifies it—when all hell is going to break loose right here on earth. If you’re not in the safest place in the universe, you’ll experience the most horrific pain, suffering, and agony known to man. You’ll also experience the most devastating plagues, disasters and calamities that have befallen mankind since the beginning of time.

Your whole mind, body, and spirit will be on the threshold of eternal damnation. This disastrous period is called the great tribulation. That said, this book reveals everything you need to know about the seven year tribulation period that’ll take place at the end of the church age that we’re now living in.

Relative to the great tribulation (the last three and a half years of the seven year tribulation period), do you have any idea what it’s like to be stung with the poisonous stings of beasts the size of horses? Do you have any idea what it’s like to be crushed with big blocks of hail weighing 100 pounds or more? This book reveals the horrific details of these end time events.

Far too many Christians and unsaved people are clueless about the critical factors impacting the spiritual warfare that’s been going on down through the ages between God and Satan over the birthright blessing. Saved or unsaved, you desperately need the information written in this book.

It’s a matter of life and death. Satan and his demons are after your mind, body, spirit, peace, joy, health, wealth, knowledge of God’s Word and your life. The most important thing about this book is that its contents unfold the keys to your life, your survival, and your ultimate destiny.

Therefore, not only must you read this book, but you must give it to your children, your spouse and other family members to read. Your children must give it to their children. You must also get this book into the hands of your church members, especially your Pastor.

Allow me to ask you two important questions. Do you know what it’s like to struggle to pay your bills? Do you know what it’s like to worry from one day to the next where your next meal is coming from and how you’re going to pay your rent? This book reveals that God did not purpose for you to be in a financial rut trying to climb up the rough side of the financial mountain.

This is not God’s financial plan for you. This book reveals God’s master wealth plan that local churches are to carry out to make believers debt free, financially sound and independently wealthy. In this light, this book reveals how pastors are the shakers and movers that bring God’s master wealth plan to fruition.

Now that you know this book exists, you’re obligated to read it from cover to cover. Otherwise, the blood of countless souls may be on your hands, including your own! Furthermore, if you put this book down without reading it, it may be brought up at your judgment that you had an opportunity, but let it slip away.

It’ll be too late then and you’ll be left without excuse! This book is written for believers and non-believers. So no one should hesitate. Read this book now!

What I’m saying is that this book is for every person on the face of this earth. For it gives you a panoramic view of God’s master plan for mankind and shows you how you fit into God’s plans. In reading this book, you’ll actually see your lifeline extending from the day God conceived you in His mind, throughout your present life and on into eternity. Down through the ages, man has been searching for answers to many of the quintessential questions about God’s purpose for creating man, which you now hold in your hands.

Once you read this book, you’ll be able to see how all of the pieces fit together that impact your life and your role in God’s plan for man. You’ll be in the best position possible to make the right choices to maximize your peace, success and happiness both on this side of life and on the other side.

So, for maximum understanding and clarity, this book is written in a style similar to a fireside chat. It includes a wealth of Scriptures to support the many shocking truths contained therein. This book avoids highly symbolic terminology and uses everyday language normally heard and spoken in any family room setting.

That is, this book makes you comfortable so that you can receive (with ease) the knowledge, wisdom and truths it reveals. It goes into great detail about God’s divine truths (step-by-step and line upon line). Hence, this journey of truth will prove to be the most shocking journey you have ever experienced or will ever experience in your lifetime. Now pull up an easy chair, sit back, relax, and begin reading the shocking truths about heaven, hell, and your birthright blessing.

CHAPTER 1

Welcome Aboard the Journey of Enlightenment

Welcome!

Welcome aboard the journey of enlightenment. This journey will prove to be the most shocking journey you have ever experienced or will ever experience in your life. You now hold in your hands the shocking truths about heaven, hell, and your birthright blessing. It’s a wealth of knowledge about how you personally fit into God’s master plan for mankind.

Yea, if you cry after knowledge, and lift up your voice for understanding: if you seek her as silver and search for her as for hidden treasures, you will understand how to reverence the Lord, and find His knowledge. For He gives wisdom: out of His mouth comes knowledge and understanding. (Prov 2:3-6).

I have so many things to tell you that I can barely contain myself! The first thing you need to know is that you never cease to exist. The life you now live determines your place of eternal existence on the other side of this life. I’ll also reveal your racial calling. Every racial group was created for a special purpose.

This book is for every person on earth. It will give you a panoramic view of God’s plans for man and show you how you and your racial group fit into God’s plans. You’ll see a clear picture of your entire lifeline as it extends from the day God conceived you in His mind, throughout your present life and on into eternity.

Once you read this book, you’ll see how all of the pieces fit together that impact your life and your role in God’s plan for mankind. You’ll be in the best position possible to make the right choices pertaining to (1) life and death, (2) blessings and curses, and (3) heaven and hell. Of utmost importance, you’ll be able to maximize your peace, success and happiness both on this side of life and on the other side.

Before we delve into the basic facts surrounding God’s master plan for man, you should really know Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. Christ is not only the center of the universe, but He is the whole reason for your existence.

On that note, let us tend to an extremely important issue that directly impacts your three most precious possessions: your mind, your spirit and your body. Most importantly, relative to your three most precious possessions, you need to be in a safe place here and now on this side of life. Let’s address this issue immediately.

The safest place in the universe

The safest place in the universe is God’s kingdom. If you’re not saved, you can be translated into God’s kingdom by the Prayer of Salvation. You must do it before you die. Why? The day is coming when a series of death plagues as well as the Battle of Armageddon will befall unsaved people that’ll send them to Hades.

So, if you’re alive and unsaved at that time, you’re not only going to experience the most horrific pain and suffering known to man, but you’re going to experience the most devastating plagues that have befallen man since the beginning of time. Your mind, body, and spirit will be on the threshold of being cast into Hades to suffer eternal horror, torment, and damnation. God’s kingdom is your only refuge.

For example, in the midst of these horrible plagues, cracks are going to split open in the earth’s surface. You’ll see ghastly, black billows of smoke gushing forth out of these cracks. Not only that, but out of the black smoke, some of the most hideous creatures imaginable will come forth upon earth out of Hades to inflict great pain upon those who have not been translated to God’s kingdom—i.e., those who have not accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior. (Revelation 9:2-5).

These pains will be so severe, that sinners will long for death, but it’ll escape them. (Revelation 9:6). These torments are not for saints who’ll be safe in God’s kingdom, well protected from these events. We’ll discuss these end time events when we study hell later. Knowing the perils that are on the horizon, sinners need to know that God can forgive them of their sins. Once they’re forgiven, they’ll belong to God’s kingdom. So, let’s discuss—in three parts—the Payer of Salvation.

The Prayer of Salvation—Part I

In order to be safe and protected from the horrors that’ll befall the ungodly; you must accept—through the Prayer of Salvation—Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. The good news is that according to God’s master plan, Jesus Christ came to earth to save sinners and translate them into the kingdom of God.

God loves you so much that He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ so that if you believe in Him you will not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16).

Jesus Christ came to earth and died on the cross to pay for all of your sins. God raised Him from the dead on the third day to live forevermore with a heavenly body. If you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ died for you and that God raised Him from the dead on the third day, God will also raise your body from the dead with a new body.

But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken (give life to) your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you. (Romans 8:11).

So then, to secure your safe place, simply recite, aloud, the following Prayer of Salvation to the Lord God Almighty, Lord, I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for all of my sins. Forgive me of my sins. I believe in my heart that God raised Jesus from the dead on the third day. Lord Jesus, please come into my life and be my Lord and Savior. (Romans 10:9). Say this very simple prayer aloud and you’ll be translated into God’s kingdom immediately!

It’s just that easy to be translated to the safest place in the entire universe. For the Word of God says, With the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:10). So, immediately after saying this prayer, God will translate you into His marvelous kingdom.

The Prayer of Salvation—Part II

God wants you to come to Him just as you are; no matter what situation, condition, trouble, dilemma, hardship, or mess you’ve gotten yourself into. Some people think that—in their own power—they need to clean themselves up first before they come to the Lord. But, you cannot—in your own strength—clean yourself up to God’s satisfaction; only God can do that.

It is written, that to be found in Christ and not having your own righteousness (which is of the law) is what God accepts. You must go through Christ to be cleansed. That is, Christ gives you the righteousness which is of God by faith. (Philippians 3:9). Thus, God’s only acceptable righteousness is by faith in Christ.

A righteousness that is self achieved—on your own—is worthless to God. All attempts to establish righteousness in your own strength, constitutes open rebellion against God. God’s way is to establish righteousness through His Son Jesus Christ.

So then, forget about trying to clean yourself up in your own power. It’s Christ’s job to cleanse you by washing your sins away with His precious blood. God can and will forgive you of all your sins. He won’t remember them anymore.

I (God); am He who blots out thy transgressions for my own sake, and will not remember your sins. (Isaiah 43:25). As far as the east is from the west, so far has God removed our sins from us. (Psalm 103:12). As I alluded to above, in the process of discussing the whole story of God’s master plan for your life, first and foremost, you must be translated into the safest place in the entire universe.

Therefore, humble yourself and come to Jesus just as you are, right now. It doesn’t matter if you’re a hell raiser, drug addict, drug dealer, wild gambler, homosexual, lesbian, fornicator, sex offender, adulterer, lifetime prostitute, pregnant out of wedlock or chronic alcoholic, come to Jesus just as you are.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a murderer, serial killer, rapist, arsonist, in prison, on death row, a womanizer or in any way, out of sorts with God’s laws, come to Jesus as you are. If you’re a liar, cheat, con artist, thief, robber, embezzler, kidnapper, devil worshiper, or any kind of sinner I didn’t mention, come to Jesus right now.

God loves you and wants you to come to Him as you are! He wants you to be safe in His kingdom. Before you were born, you were in His master plan. Did you say the prayer yet? If not, say it now! You must get to the safest place in the universe, right away! So, no matter what you’ve done or how deep your sins are, God can reach down and pull you out of the mess you made of your life.

The Prayer of Salvation—Part III

Even if you’re in prison serving a life sentence and will never get out or on death row and about to die, God has made a way for you to still start all over again with a new life on the other side. That is, no matter what you’ve done or how bad you’ve messed up your life, the life you’re now living is your temporary life, not your real life that God purposed for you to enjoy on the other side.

Let me say that again. The life you live on earth is a temporary life; not the real, eternal life that God has in store for you. God gave you time (a temporary life) before you die to show Him that you truly accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. So, no matter what you’ve done, accept Christ before you die and you’ll be translated to God’s kingdom to enjoy your real life that God purposed for you. God purposed for you to live in Paradise on a new earth for all eternity. This opportunity is yours, right now, even as I speak! Don’t let it slip out of your hands.

So, even if you’re serving a life sentence or are on death row and about to die, there is still hope. God loves you so much that no matter what you’ve done or how much you’ve messed up your life, He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to die on the cross and pay for all of your sins. If you believe this truth with all of your heart, mind, soul and strength, you’ll not perish in hell, but you’ll go to Paradise to enjoy your real, eternal life that God purposed for you. (John 3:16).

That is, if you accept Christ, the moment you die, you’ll be alive in Paradise to enjoy your real life that God purposed for you when He created you. Death’s sting cannot keep you away from God’s promise to bless you with your real, eternal life if you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior before you die. So, you have a brand new life (your real eternal life) waiting for you in Paradise, as I speak.

That said, right now; say aloud with your mouth, Lord, I confess that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for my sins. Forgive me of my sins. I believe in my heart that God raised Jesus from the dead on the third day. Jesus, please come into my life and be my Lord and Savior. (Romans 10:9). Say this prayer and you’ll be translated into God’s kingdom now! This is your hope and your way out of death on death row or a life sentence. Remember, this life is only a temporary life; not your real eternal life that God purposed for you to enjoy on the new earth.

God can forgive any sin, except for blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. This sin is a state of callousness wherein you set your heart, soul and spirit against God and His mighty acts. Blasphemy is being so steeped in darkness that you become deaf to the Holy Spirit’s beck and call. Your heart is so hardened, that you never accept Christ before you die. Blasphemy against God’s Spirit is the unpardonable sin. It can never be forgiven, neither in this world, nor in the new world to come.

Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven you: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven you. And whosoever speaks a word against Christ, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaks against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world nor in the world to come. (Matthew 12:31-32).

So, now is the time for salvation. (2 Corinthians 6:2). After death, you don’t get a second chance. Get yourself to the safest place in the universe—God’s kingdom.

All of your worries will be lifted from your shoulders. Remember, at all costs, you must protect your three most precious possessions: your mind, spirit and body. In this case, the word mind includes your whole soul which consists of your mind, will, emotions and conscience.

In other words, when God breathed the breath of life into Adam’s nostrils—i.e., when God put a spirit in him—Adam became a living soul with a mind, will, emotions and a conscience. (Gen 2:7).

CHAPTER 2

Some Preliminary Facts About Heaven and Hell

Some preliminary facts about heaven and hell

In the second volume of this book I’ll discuss—in full detail—the shocking truths about heaven. Chapter 18 of this volume discusses the shocking truths about hell. God gives us many close-up views of the truths about heaven and hell. He shows us things that are occurring now and things that will occur in the future.

For now, I just want to give you a few preliminary facts about these two very real places that impact your eternal existence. The first thing you must realize is that your eternal existence begins the moment God conceives you in His mind.

That is, you exist the moment God thinks to create you. Once God conceives you in His mind, you exist. Judges in the courts of men cannot decide when you exist. For, God deems that you exist before He forms you in your mother’s womb, for He already knows you. (Jeremiah 1:5, Psalm 139:16). Thus, if you abort an embryo or fetus, you abort (kill) a human being. For, as noted, in God’s mind you exist the moment He thinks to create you.

Whether or not you survive your mother’s womb, once God conceives you in His mind, you exist eternally. For created in God’s image, you’re eternal because God is eternal. (Gen 1:27). Thus, anyone who enters this world will continue to exist when he/she leaves it. Embryos and fetuses who don’t survive the womb (die prematurely) will also exist eternally. Infants and toddlers who’re born, but die prematurely will exist eternally. In Chapter 4, we’ll discuss these truths in detail.

When you leave this world, your eternal existence continues on the other side in one of two places (1) in heaven, a place of eternal blessings, or (2) in Hades, a place reserved for sinners who will—at the appointed time—stand before God’s great white throne, be judged for their sins, found guilty, and cast into the lake of fire: their permanent place of punishment, torment and eternal existence.

Heaven and hell are as different as night and day. Since these two places have an eternal impact on your three most precious possessions, you need to have—at your disposal—some important facts about them. Let us begin with heaven.

The sweet ecstasy and undying love of God

Is heaven really an incredibly indescribable Paradise filled with pure rapture and joy? In heaven, do saints delight in God’s sweet eternal ecstasy? What about heavenly love? Is heaven filled from one end to the other with God’s undying love? Does God shower His infinite love upon believers with such intensity that it goes beyond description? The answer to the above questions is an emphatic, Yes!

Heavenly music

In the midst of God’s love, is there beautiful, rapturous music ringing out from one end of heaven to the other? In perfect harmony with these heavenly melodies, is God’s kingdom resonating with dancing, singing, and jubilation? Do all of the heavenly melodies, voices and praises redound to God’s glory, honor, and majesty? The answer to all of these questions is an emphatic, Yes!

Heavenly mansions

How about beautiful, heavenly mansions? Have you ever wondered if God’s people will receive palatial high rise dwellings and beautiful mansions as part of their eternal inheritance? Have you wondered if these high rise dwellings and mansions stretch from one end of heaven to the other? Have you wondered if these dwellings are set back in the peaceful surroundings of exquisite neighborhoods?

As you ponder these heavenly dwellings; picture yourself living in one of them in perfect peace and enjoying eternal life. Speaking of heavenly dwellings, have you wondered if you’ll have a palatial dwelling on earth as well? Wonder no more because the answer to all of the above questions is again an emphatic, Yes!

Saints will indeed dwell on earth. Saints are little gods—i.e., they’re not really Gods, but God’s magistrates (overseers) on earth. For the heavens are the Lord’s: but the earth He has given to the children of men—i.e., the meek shall inherit the earth. (Ps 82:6, 115:16, Jn 10:34, Matt 5:5). Thus, God created man to rule the earth and its surrounding heavens and waters. So, saints will have beautiful, palatial dwellings in heaven and on the new earth.

Heavenly peace

There is a peace in heaven that passes all understanding. Heaven’s peace is so blessedly tranquil that people get along with one another in perfect harmony and fellowship. God has even tamed the animals and filled them with His peace.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a part of heaven’s great splendor, majesty, and peace? Even its colors are heavenly perfect with a soothing, peaceful glow. Heaven’s colors are so perfect and beautiful that you can’t really describe them. Heaven is filled with the breathtaking beauty of every shade of red, yellow, blue, green, orange, purple, gold, fuchsia and a host of hues you’ve never seen.

Heavenly health, wealth, and abundance

What if no one ever got sick in heaven? What if there are no such things in heaven as cancer, arthritis, strokes, tumors, heart problems, blood disorders, obesity or any other pains and sufferings you can think of? I know there is nothing you would like more than to be rid of them forever. Well, you can put on your dancing shoes because sicknesses, diseases and abnormalities will never be found in heaven. These things will pass away forevermore. (Rev 21:4, 1 Cor 15:52).

Have you ever thought about the abundant treasures of heaven wherein you can enjoy all the wealth and riches you could ever hope for, dream of, or imagine? It’s a fact that believers will have—at their disposal—the greatest abundance of wealth known to man: gold, silver, rubies, diamonds, gems; and the list goes on.

Now, here’s the good news! If you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior, these blessings and more will be yours. They are an integral part of your heavenly inheritance. The bottom line is that heaven is indeed a real place where believers dwell and enjoy real blessings. This book validates and confirms these truths.

Your heavenly body

What about your heavenly body? As a saint, have you ever wondered what type of body you’ll have? Have you ever wondered if you’ll be able to drink liquids and eat food the same as you do now? Wonder no longer for in the new world, saints will eat food and drink liquids the same as they do in this world.

Saints will not only drink delicious fruit and vegetable juices, but they will also drink pure, crystal clear water. God designed their new bodies to be continually cleansed and purified by drinking the pure, crystal clear water of heaven, which flows freely throughout heaven, from the throne of God. (Revelation 21:6, 22:1).

Believers will neither hunger nor thirst anymore. (Revelation 7:16). By the fact that believers will not thirst
