I knew a man in Christ above 14 years ago then he says whether in the body I cannot tell or whether out of the body I cannot tell God knoweth says such and one caught up to the third heaven so here Paul is saying that he met somebody whether through a vision or actually did God put this person in front of him he's like I'll ask God when I get there and we'll ask God when we get there as well but he's saying he saw somebody that was caught up he saw somebody that was saved and went to heaven went to the third heaven what is that that's the spiritual heaven that's the heaven that we were all looking forward to when we die physically on this earth we're gonna be caught up to the third heaven all right now go back to Revelation chapter 21 so all that to say this there's three heavens in the Bible whenever the Bible uses the word heaven you have to kind of decide all right what's the context of this verse which heaven is it talking about but clearly in second when it's talking about us dying and being with the Lord it's talking about this third heaven okay look at Revelation chapter 21 and look at verse number one so after the millennial reign of Christ the Bible describes what heaven is going to look like to us what this new heaven and new earth this is where we are in Revelation 21 and Revelation 22 after the millennial reign of Christ after all the things of the end times prophecy have happened this is where we are going to spend our eternity look at verse number one the Bible says this and it says and I saw a new heaven and a new earth now one of the guys asked me the other kind of took me by surprise a few months ago and asked me now do you think that this is a a new heaven or in a new earth or do you think it's kind of like the same earth that's been all kind of fixed up and I think that now that I've you know thought about this it's I mean I believe what the Bible says it's a new heaven and a new earth it's not like refurbished or anything like that all right so it's a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away and there was no more sea so tonight we're talking about the third heaven we're talking about spiritual heaven number one and then number two we're going to talk about where we will spend eternity in this new heaven in this new earth all right now I'm going to answer three questions I'm just going to answer three questions about heaven that people commonly ask all right and I'm going to show you what the Bible says not what some book somebody wrote says I'm going to show you what the Bible says and I'm going to kind of give you my opinion on why the Bible doesn't answer some of these questions and why the Bible does answer some of these questions but I think we can get a good idea about this so the first question that a lot of people will asking in it about heaven is when we get to heaven how old will we be look at 1st John chapter 3 go to 1st John chapter 3 so people are always asking how old will we be in heaven in 1st John chapter number 3 the Bible kind of gives us some detail about what things are going to be like what we're going to be like in heaven in verse number 2 but look at 1st John chapter 3 in verse number 2 the Bible says this it says beloved now we now are we the sons of God now you've been adopted into God's family if you're saved you are a lowercase s son of God or a daughter of God you've been adopted into his family you are a child of God at this point beloved now we are the sons of God and it doth not appear what we shall be but we know that when he shall appear we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is so of course I've preached extensively on the first resurrection that on that we're all going to be part of the first resurrection and at that point we will have our glorified bodies this is talking about Jesus coming back in his glorified body and it's saying we are also going to have these glorified bodies after the first resurrection so here's why the answer is the Bible doesn't say how old you're gonna be when you get to heaven the Bible simply doesn't say next question but I'm gonna tell you why the Bible doesn't say because age when you think about what people are asking when they they ask how old am I going to be when I get to heaven everyone in their mind has an ideal age of what it would like to be and I'm sure that number it's different for everybody but just think about the idea of age it's really to answer the question it's really a silly question it's kind of an irrelevant question is what I'm showing you is because age is a function or a measure of your failing body it's a function or measure of your your dying self you know your physical flesh and we're gonna have glorified perfect bodies when we are in heaven and we are in eternity even going into the millennial reign after the first resurrection we're gonna have glorified bodies so it's really an irrelevant question is age is just a measure of our remaining time on earth turn to James chapter 4 age is just a measure of our remaining time on earth or it's a measure of what we think is our remaining time on earth you know you look at somebody who's older or what you think is older you know here's the thing you think when you're 15 well when you're 8 you think somebody that's 20 is old right when you're when you're 15 you think somebody that's 25 or 30 is old all right when you're 40 you think somebody that is 60 is old and you start to kind of realize oh man am I old at that point but it's just a relative measure of how much time you think you have left in this body on this earth look at James chapter 4 and verse 14 and I know we've read this verse before but I just want to focus on the very beginning part of this verse it says whereas you know what shall be on the morrow so here's the here's the irony how old you will be in heaven is irrelevant and guess what what James chapter 4 is saying in the very first part of this verse you know it says what is your life it is even a vapor talking about how quick your life goes by but the first part of the verse you know what the Bible is saying here it's saying your age today is irrelevant it's saying today that it did well it doesn't even matter it doesn't even matter how old you are today because you don't like the 15 year old doesn't know what's tomorrow and the 90 year old doesn't know what's tomorrow so this is why we go out and we tell people that you know hey you know you should be more concerned about your salvation because you get this idea amongst the general population of people today that I'm young I've got time this is why young people they go out and they do stupid things and they think that they're invincible and they think that nothing can ever happen to them but the Bible is saying that's not the case at all because if you're 19 if you're 18 you don't know what's on tomorrow and if you're a hundred you don't know what's on tomorrow you could die in five seconds no matter what age you are and then the Bible is saying that whatever that time is whether you have 20 years on this earth or you have 90 years on this earth it's short either way the Bible is saying it's just a vapor so we will not be children that are growing in heaven we know that but what is the idea you know and then people will ask well people really want to know what is the ideal age on earth because they want to be that age in heaven which makes no sense because anybody would have a different number if I went and did a poll to this whole church on what is the ideal age that you would like to be forever I guarantee you every single person will give a different number you couldn't pay me a million dollars to be 20 again a lot of people like oh I want to be younger you couldn't pay me every dollar in the world to be 20 again I was a stupid idiot when I was 20 and I'm not ashamed to say it I know a lot of like the 20 year olds today the 19 year olds today in in this church and other churches like ours there are a thousand miles ahead of where I was when I was 20 years old so as hard as I am on you young people just remember that I was a stupid idiot when I was your age and I'm not ashamed to say it all right but look what's the ideal age it doesn't even matter I mean if you ask me today like I'll take the wisdom over being 20 no problem any day of the week so anybody that really preaches a sermon or writes a book that says you're gonna be this age when you're in heaven they're just making stuff up all right they're just making up details that aren't there it's an important note and I've said this before many times but it's important note that when the Bible doesn't say the Bible just doesn't say you know we can just you know we'll know when we get to heaven but the point is in the measure of eternity in the measure of eternity and in the glorified body that we're in that will never age the Bible I don't think the Bible says because it literally doesn't matter it literally makes no difference how old you are I mean what if what's even the measure of how you old you are in your glorified body I mean does it start like ticking at the resurrection or work you know we can just ask Jesus those things when we get to heaven go back to Revelation chapter 21 so in the measure of eternity and the measure of what our glorified bodies are going to be versus what our bodies are now age is just a it's a measuring stick we put on our mortal bodies and we are not going to have mortal bodies we're not going to be slowly dying in heaven we're gonna have glorified bodies we're gonna be eternal age is irrelevant revelation chapter 21 look at verse number one the next question is what will heaven be like and that's what I really love about Revelation chapter 21 especially is it kind of gives us the end state of heaven after everything is done after Jesus Christ has come back and has ruled and reigned for a thousand years with us by the way in our glorified bodies we've been ruling and reigning with Jesus Christ for a thousand years what will heaven what will the eternal place for us to be be like look at verse number one it says and I saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away and there was no more sea that's kind of sad to me because I like to fish but number two is but it won't be sad we'll get to that in just a minute and I saw and I John saw the holy city New Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven prepared as a bride adorned for her husband and I heard a great voice out of heaven saying behold the tabernacle of God is with men and we will dwell with them and they shall be his people and the God himself shall be with them and be their God look at verse number four and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and there shall be no more death neither sorrow nor crying neither shall there be any more pain for the former things are passed away so look you have to remember back in the millennial reign before the new heaven and the new earth there was still people that were born and died not everybody was in their glorified bodies in the millennial reign of Jesus Christ and I appointed you know I've preached a whole sermon on that but here all that is going to be gone there is going to be no more death there's going to be no more there's going to be no more opposition when you think about it that way there's nothing more opposition to Jesus Christ opposition to the saved during the millennial reign there was opposition and you remember the devil was led out of hell and gathered everybody and there was this final battle after the millennial reign of Christ the Battle of Gog and Magog but all that is over in the new heaven and the new earth look at verse number five it says and he that sat upon the throne said behold I make all things new and he said unto me right for these words are true and faithful so this is the heaven the place that God has prepared for us so what is it going to be like look at Revelation chapter 22 and look at verse number three the first thing it says is that there will be no more death up there in Revelation chapter 21 it says there will be no more death let me turn there myself I got to turn back there but look at Revelation chapter 22 and look at verse number three Revelation 22 3 says and there should be no more curse what is the curse the curse was that which came upon creation but the throne of God and the Lamb shall be in it and we'll get to the last part of that verse so look there's no more dying again why the concept of age is just completely irrelevant because no one is gonna die in heaven no one is gonna age in heaven so how old you are it's like asking you know it's like saying you know what's 2 plus 2 and the answer is a banana or something it just makes no sense at all right it's it's doesn't it's an irrelevant concept in heaven but look at this look at this in Revelation chapter let me see let me go back here look at verse number 4 of Revelation chapter 21 one more time so we'll get what heaven is going to be like it says God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and there shall be no more death that's number one neither sorrow nor crying so the Bible is saying that there's gonna be no sorrow in heaven now that look that's a kind of a hard concept to wrap your head around if you just think about you know life today and the things that go on in just a regular life today and the Bible is saying there's gonna be none of that there's gonna be no crying no sadness no sorrow you just think about just I mean just think about things that make you upset some people are upset all the time you know people that are just upset all the time you ever have a friend you ever have a friend that I used to have a friend that like I would never even want to ask him how he was doing like it was just something bad all the time and he was just the kind of person that no matter what was going on bad or good it was bad you know he just saw the bad in everything and like you almost don't want to even say how was your week you know because you don't because he would just find something bad and look it's weren't that bad for him but he just was a very negative person we've all met negative people we've all look we've all been negative at times but there will be none of this in heaven you will not be upset anymore ever in heaven that's what the Bible is saying here that's a hard concept for us to wrap our heads around but you will never be upset you will have no more sorrow because look if I got upset like say I was a really positive person which I hope that I am but maybe I'm not as much as I should be say I'm super positive I'm upset at times look if you're if you're on this earth right now and you never get upset something is wrong with you as a matter of fact I don't want to preach a different sermon but this is what they're trying to get you to do is not be upset about anything it's trying to just get you to accept everything but there will be no more being upset because there will be no more evil there will be literally no reason for anyone to ever be upset I mean it's it's never gonna happen think about people that are depressed I mean think about depression you know how I like all-time highs and all-time lows in our country today I just went and I read I refreshed this is one of those stats that I refresh every year when I bring it up in a sermon and yep it's getting worse there's never been a time in our nation's history when more people are clinically depressed and look this is this is staggering by the way this is kind of shocked me people today in the United States that are diagnosed with depression think about that diagnosed with depression meaning they felt depressed look we all feel depressed from time to time like you go on a vacation and then you have to go back to work and have post vacation depression that's normal everybody's depressed from time to time what I'm talking about is people that are just depressed so much they've literally called a doctor and they're like I need to come in because I'm depressed and then they go into a doctor and then they're diagnosed with depression so they've gone down several steps so like it's a what I'm trying to get you to see is it's a major problem for them it's like a real thing for them you know what the percentage is 29 percent of people in the United States are clinically diagnosed with depression I mean turn to Isaiah chapter 41 turn to Isaiah chapter 41 let's talk about this for just a couple of minutes Isaiah chapter 41 and look at verse number 10 look at Isaiah chapter 41 look at verse number 10 so depressions a real problem today this will not be in heaven at all but it's hard to wrap your head around because look any any person everybody at some point gets a little down gets a little depressed but look the Bible even gives us the answer for depression so the irony is is the reason that there's no depression in heaven is kind of the same way we can get rid of depression here look at Isaiah chapter 41 and look at verse number 10 the Bible says this it says fear thou not for I look at I mean there's a word that just keeps popping up here in this verse see if you can recognize the pattern fear thou not for I am with thee be not dismayed for I am thy God I will strengthen thee yea I will help thee yea I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness look what he says he said be not dismayed you know what that means don't be depressed and then he points out what is the answer for depression the Bible here is saying is the answer for depression is the I in this verse who is the I it's not me it's not me just because I read it the verse is talking about the Lord the Lord your God the Lord your God is the answer for depression so look I mean this is what this is why our country is so depressed today I'm just kind of giving a general statement here is why it's because they've left I they've they've left they've turned their back on the I in Isaiah 41 chapter verse number 10 they've turned their back on the Lord turn your back on the Lord more you're going to be more depressed United States of America and you can just see it through all those stupid clown world policies that are being pushed by this nation look you take a kid you take a kid that should be happy you take a kid that should be happy should be playing should be out there making pillows out of garbage bags and beating his friends that's what that's what kids should be doing and laughing and enjoying their life you take that kid and then you just confuse them you just confuse them about the most basic things about them instead of a father going to his son and saying to his son son I'm gonna make a man out of you and I'm gonna teach you how to do things I'm gonna teach you how to be a man and how to take care of your mother and how to take care of your sister and how to use tools and how to work hard and how to do all these things that the Bible the Lord God says that you should know how to do as a man instead of doing those things that will build him up to be a joyful strong Christian young man let's confuse him about whether he even is a boy and then he's depressed it's a circus and you can't even I mean you can't even believe that it's happening and then you just confuse them and confuse them and confuse them for years and then you wonder like man there's they're depressed and they're suicidal what's happening you left the Lord that's what's happening I mean it's not complicated we're not building the space shuttle up here I just explained why depression is eating this country up in two and a half minutes in one verse from the Bible turn your back on the on your gone God and what he tells you to do and what not to do that's another thing sin what'll it do it just it'll you know eat you up and depress you it'll tear you apart self-focus which the Bible which the Lord your God teaches against you know yours just focus on yourself more and more and more I mean just think about the idea of aging look I am getting older I understand I look at a picture of my wedding my wedding photo I don't do this but if I look at a picture of my wedding photo and I've told my wife this she looks the same and you couldn't even tell that it was me but who cares who cares I mean aging is just something that just whatever I mean it's it's no big deal I mean I don't care as long as she's with me I'm good right go back to Revelation chapter 21 there's no more depression in heaven it's all gone there's no more loneliness in heaven you think about that's another one everyone's lonely today loneliness is rampant nobody has any friends today and they're just lonely all of that is over in heaven look at Revelation chapter 21 number 10 what else is there about heaven there's several verses that talk about this next attribute of heaven but first we see that there's no more death there's no more sorrow which means there's gonna be nothing that sets you nothing that depresses you nothing that makes you lonely or feel bad there's gonna be none of that you can't even wrap your head around that because you literally need to be upset over things today it is literally your Christian duty to protect your family to be upset and pass judgment on evil today you have to do that it's just I think what I think is it's gonna be like a load of bricks just lifted off of you because you're not gonna have to be on your guard about everything like I mean isn't that true today don't you just have to be on your guard about everything today as Satan and all his demons that run the show today are trying to teach you that evil is good and good is evil I mean you have to be constantly on your guard every letter you get in the mail every phone call that you get is how's this person trying to rip me off you're constantly on your guard every single thing that they're trying to teach kids whether it be in movies in cartoons and whatever there's always some kind of angle where they're trying to I mean if you just get rid of all of it it's easier but there's always some kind of angle where they're trying to get you they're trying to trying to drag you into the mire and it's it's I think this just could be like a load of bricks removed is you just have to worry about any of that anymore there's gonna be none of that anymore there's me no be on your guard anymore I mean it's hard to even imagine but it's gonna be great look at verse number 10 of Revelation chapter number 21 what's the next thing about it the next thing is that it's gonna be beautiful it's gonna be so beautiful that it's hard to even imagine reading these verses look at verse 10 it says he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain and showed me that great city the holy Jerusalem descending out of heaven from God having the glory of God and her light was unto a stone most precious even like a Jasper stone clear as crystal skip down to verse number 18 it says the building of the wall was of Jasper and the city was pure gold the streets were pure gold it was pure gold like unto clear glass it says the foundations of the wall of the city with all manner of precious stones the first foundation was Jasper the second sapphire the third chalcedony the fourth and emerald fifth sardonyx the sixth Sardis the seventh chrysolite the eighth barrel the ninth a topaz the tenth chrysophorus the 11th jasinth the 12th and amethyst I mean there's all these verses just just describing the unbelievable beauty of heaven it's going to be beautiful now look I believe that beauty is another thing that they're trying to take away from you today they're trying to take away what is beautiful today I believe that the reason I mean you think soul winning so you go out soul winning and I remember I remember in in Sacramento one of the soul winning tips that pastor Jimenez had was you know don't walk on people's lawns in in Sacramento don't you know make sure you take the sidewalks don't walk on people's lawns I don't really give that tip so much in Fresno because like there's just not a lot of people that take care of their lawns so there's not a lot of lawns here because it's so hot and whatever but people just don't put as much effort into their lawn but the point is this a nice lawn looks nice we all were stopped yesterday I'm telling you like all of us stopped we were done soul winning and we stopped and we looked over at this yard and this yard had these I don't even know what they were they were like flowers part flower part cabbage or something but they were all these weird neat colors and they were placed in these great and my wife took a picture and I'm like I got to find some of those I like landscape I like doing I like making things look beautiful like that but look I don't care if you have a nice lawn and this is a very superficial example but I don't care if you have a nice lawn or you don't have a nice lawn nobody thinks that an overgrown lawn of thistles and weeds is beautiful no one thinks that but people they go to a a yard that is well groomed and in a symmetrical and orderly and everyone whether they have a yard like that or not whether they've chosen to put that effort into that everyone looks at that and says that's beautiful that's nice I believe that's kind of written into us what beauty is and what beauty isn't whether you have a spotless clean house or not I can't imagine that anybody enjoys just walking into a garbage pit for a house maybe they just chosen to not you know to not put the effort into making it beautiful and orderly and clean but the Bible says you know all things should be done decently and in order we like order it's in our conscience we like it but isn't the world trying to teach us that it doesn't matter what you know God cares what you look like actually not talking about being you know a good-looking person or anything like that but God cares what you wear God cares what you put on your skin God cares about all these things and people are just trying to say like hey no go on just just destroy your body just go out and put a bunch of holes all over yourself and just brand yourself and just put tattoos from head to toe I tell you what I see a young lady with with all these piercings all over her face who's 16 17 18 years old and just tattoos over her neck and face thinks she'll never be able to cover up I feel sorry for her I feel sorry for her I'm like who lied to you who lied to you who led you where was your dad is what I think I feel sorry for that look there are certain things but the world is trying to tell you know everything's beautiful no it's not no it's not just like it's trying to say that everything is good no some things are evil some things are evil you see you know I mean it's just it's all the same thing trying to teach us that evil is good and good is evil look heaven is going to be beautiful heaven is going to be so beautiful that we will not it's it will be unimaginably beautiful and I look forward to that turn to revelation 22 now so revelation 21 shows us that heaven will have no death no sorrow no depression you will never be upset that weight of being on your guard looking out for evil people there will be no evil people there it's only the people in the Lamb's Book of Life what's the Lamb's Book of Life is that a different book of life it's the book of life I mean it's not we're not create some you know they use the Lamb's Book of Life instead of the Book of Life and we'll create a whole new weird doctrine out of it the book of life is the book of life it's going to be all saved people in heaven there will be no sin there we will have glorified bodies would be no death no aging look at revelation 22 in verse number 3 here's a question what will we be doing what will we do all day look at revelation 22 in verse number 3 revelation 22 in verse number 3 the Bible says this it says there shall be no more curse but the throne of God and the Lamb shall be in it and his servants that's you shall serve him and they shall see his face and his name shall be in their foreheads there's your mark right there his name is going to be in your forehead and that's why the the mark of the beast is going to be in your forehead because Satan just copies everything God does Satan never has his own ideas he these things and changes it a little bit you say this so I'm gonna be what doing what how many serving Jesus with my life in eternity turn to Matthew chapter 22 you say is my wife going to be serving Jesus with me how many people have you seen that write books and they say statements and they give notes to their wife saying you know I can't wait to Urs or you know God forbid somebody's spouse has passed away and they're saying well I can't wait to go to heaven and spend eternity with my wife or spend eternity with my husband well I've got some bad news for you here we're gonna look at what the Bible says look at verse number 23 or maybe good news for you we'll see look at verse number 23 there's a bunch of ladies yes verse number 23 of Matthew chapter 22 the same day came to him the Sadducees which say that there is no resurrection and asked him saying master Moses said if a man die having no children his brother shall marry his wife so we know this doctrine this is kind of the the thing that happened with with Ruth and Boaz the the nearest kinsmen his brother shall marry his wife and raise up seed unto his brother so you have a man that dies and now his wife is a widow and she's got children and it's it's the duty of his brother if he has a brother or the nearest kinsmen to marry this lady and have you know raise a family with her now there were with us seven brethren and the first when he had married a wife deceased and having no issue left his wife unto his brother likewise the second also in the third and under the seventh so all these men just keep dying I mean this woman is very suspicious first of all like what is going on here I think this this story has been in the news in the last few years and the last of the in the last of all the woman died also so what happens is they're they're trying to like they're trying to catch Jesus right you're trying to catch him with some you know extreme situation and they're saying all right so this woman dies or this woman is married to this guy he's got seven brothers and then he dies and then she marries the brother that brother dies it marries the other brother that brother dies marries the other brush so she's married all seven of these brothers all right she's been married to them all and they all mysteriously died all right look at what the Bible says in verse 28 says therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven for they all had her so all these seven brothers were married to this girl and they're saying in heaven who's she gonna be married to aha gotcha cuz he'll never be able to answer this one and look what Jesus says Jesus answered and said ye do err not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God for in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are the as the angels of God in heaven so you're not married in heaven is what the Bible is saying here it's you know you're married on this earth so guess what make the most of your marriage here is what you should do and hopefully your wife isn't on her deathbed you know thanking God she's released from you at that point you know but it's a it's a good measure if you think about it look I've literally known people I have literally known people and maybe you have to where you know they get older and ever you know they in the women just can't she just can't wait for him to die just please I've had enough and you know that's a good measuring stick for us I mean you know my thought is on this with with my wife I'm like I know we're not gonna be married in heaven but like hopefully she lets me visit you know what she's pretty much gonna be living on a another part of town I want to be the guy like on the south side of the railroad tracks and then she's gonna be in the nice part of town hopefully I can come over every now and then while we're serving Jesus but it's a good measurement for us in our marriage that make the most of your marriage here because your marriage is for you on earth your marriage is for you pay attention to it what now pay attention to it because you don't know what you don't know if you're gonna live another five seconds you don't know if you're gonna live I don't care if you're 15 or you're not married when you're 15 I don't care if you're 20 or 30 but you don't know how long your marriage is gonna be you don't know when you are gonna pass away or your wife is gonna pass away and go to heaven but when that happens that's your marriage at that point so please pay attention to your marriage now you know look at John chapter 14 and look at verse number 2 John chapter 14 in verse number 2 so I haven't mentioned rewards in heaven but we know that we will have rewards in heaven and even in Revelation chapter 22 I'll just read it for you but Jesus literally says he says behold I come quickly and my reward is with me to give every man according to his work in John 14 to the Bible says 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 look God is preparing heaven for us he is preparing this place that the Bible gives us these great details on but it's just we these details are such great details we can't even really wrap our heads around these things we I have no experience at all with having a life of no sorrow at having a life with no sad feelings or no bad thoughts I have no experience with that what it's better it's gonna be better than anything we could possibly imagine it is really all you know we should need to know it's really anything we could possibly imagine or read even in the Bible so on that note no one no one should choose to go to hell because if people go to hell they they literally chose to go there when you think about it that way they made that decision they said you know but many people most people will choose they will just think about it but it from that perspective all the things we just learned about heaven and people will choose to go to hell my wife met a person the other day that said that believed that when you die you have seven minutes to choose between heaven and hell and like I mean you kind of want to chuckle but it's really kind of sad when you think about it that this person actually believed that but if you have seven minutes there will be no one in hell if you have seven minutes to sit here and stare at at this beautiful heaven this beautiful place that God has prepared for us and then seven minutes I mean you wouldn't need seven minutes you'd need about a second to be like I don't want to go there you know hell is not a place hell is eternal suffering we were talking about with the guys today hell is not a place you know one of the guys had a bunch of friends they're like yeah I'd rather be a ruler in hell no one's going to be ruling in hell they're all going to be screaming all my friends are in hell I want to go there if you have a friend in hell none of them want you there they're all screaming for you to get saved so you can go to heaven right now they're doing that that's what the man in hell said in Luke 16 at least when God told him when Abraham told him you can't get out the last plea that he made was please send somebody back to tell my family tell to tell them to because why he didn't care about it he knew that it was too late for him at that point but what did he think about next everybody he used to know he didn't want anyone that he used to know his friends his family coming where he currently was where he was currently stuck for what for eternity it's the worst thing you could possibly imagine so no there's not seven minutes it's it's right now in second Corinthians 6 this is where you know Paul says it says now is the accepted time he says now now behold now is the day of salvation he's saying there's no seven minutes so the choice the decision in where you put your trust it must be done here and it's an easy choice when you just look at all of these things that are in heaven all of these things that are going to be so great that we can't even imagine what they're going to be like but it's ironic that we're going to be doing what we were doing in heaven we're doing the exact same thing that we're supposed to be doing here which is what serving Jesus and heaven is going to be prepared greater in Luke he talks about how you know the guy that had ten talents gets ten cities and Jesus in Revelation 22 and all over the Bible talks about who he's bringing his reward with him the better you serve Jesus here the better your eternity is going to be so the better that you serve Christ in this moment in this vapor the better your eternity will be talk about like the best investment that you could ever make in your life you're investing into your own eternity so that's heaven let's bow our heads and have a word
