- God, His only Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit live in Heaven, but they are present everywhere.
. . .And behold, a door was opened in Heaven . . .and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal . . .The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
~ Revelation 4

~ Revelation 22:1
Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool.
~ Isaiah 66:1

After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was taken up into Heaven and He sat at the
right hand of God.
~ Mark 16:19
In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of Heaven.
~ Matthew 26:64
- Heaven is a real place, beautiful beyond our imaginings, a place of perfect and eternal reward for those who love and serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him.
~ I Corinthians 2:9
In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
~ John 14:2-3
- In Heaven there will be an end to death, crying, and pain.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 'Now the dwelling of God is with men, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.
~ Revelation 21:3-4
- God's intention is and has always been the establishment of His Kingdom here on earth just as it is established in Heaven. This will occur after Jesus' Second Coming at the end of the Tribulation.
Our Father, Who art in Heaven,
hallowed be Thy name,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our tresspasses,
as we forgive those who tresspass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil,
for Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
~ Matthew 6:9, 13
