But in space the City of Heaven appears large and round — much larger than miles. This is because of what are called environs or suburbs, the outer parameter of Paradise. The foursquare Holy City is completely surrounded and enclosed by these suburbs. The outer edge of these suburbs is very large, much larger even than the earth. In these suburbs or shadowy groves the saints first arrive when they come from the earth; and in this transition from earth to Heaven, they learn many things.

First, they learn that they can still see, hear, smell, taste, touch and remember, and that they have a form like their earth body. This form is their spirit, now out of their body. When saints leave their bodies on earth, they have a sense of freedom as birds flying. They find their thoughts to be clear and their vision able to see both physical and spiritual realms.

The City of Heaven with its suburbs, its Holy Place and its Most Holy is like a planet; it is self sufficient in every way to provide for eternal beings, just as the earth is able to sustain physical life. If your ears can hear — hear this. But Jesus was revealing a secret that in Heaven we can by thought add one cubit to our height. In my visits to Heaven I noticed that people appeared to be about five feet tall.

On earth a cubit is 18 inches, but a heavenly cubit is 21 inches. So a person in Heaven three cubits tall would be 63 inches, or a little over five feet tall. But when it is their turn to worship God before His Throne, they add one inch cubit to their stature which makes them seven feet tall. Now these suburbs of the City of Heaven are very much like earth, with grass, flowers, trees, shadows, birds, and animals.

This is the place where spiritual principles must be learned by those saints who on earth did not become very spiritually minded. It is not true that we suddenly know everything when we get to Heaven. Death could have no power over the Giver of Life. The King had triumphed over the great red dragon! Jesus had risen triumphant over sin and death!!

He is alive today having paid the price for your sin, because He loves you. But knowing all this will not get you to Heaven. The city of Heaven is reserved for those who forsake sin and follow Jesus, for those who have repented by praying:. The true beauty of the story is this, that Jesus the only begotten Son the King of Heaven being obedient to the will of His Father, came to rescue His bride-to-be from captivity.

His love for her was so gre at that He gladly submitted to the battle. Victorious at last, yet bearing the scars, He set her free. For by dying on the cross, Jesus made the way that leads from the spiritual darkness of this world to the land of peace and light Next: Find out more About Us.

Other Heaven and Hell Testimonies. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows. And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows—was caught up to paradise. The city of Heaven, New Jerusalem, is foursquare as in Rev , with 12 foundations, walls of jaspar and 3 gates on each side.

Over the gates are the names of the tribes of Israel. After entering the gate you go thru a large bright hallway, you are greeted by an angel and then you step into the Holy Place of Heaven. The round tower you see in the center is the Holy of Holies of Heaven. This is the Throne Room of Yahweh. Around the outside of the City is an outer expanse like environs or suburbs.

These suburbs are huge and are very much like earth, with mountains and valleys, trees and rivers. But unlike earth, Mat there is nothing here to corrupt.
