Can People in Heaven See What’s Happening on Earth?

article - Randy Alcorn

Yes, people in Heaven have some idea of what’s going on here. They may not know or pay attention to everything that’s happening (like the time you slipped ice into your brother’s pillowcase). But the martyrs in Revelation 6 knew that God hadn’t yet brought judgment on those who killed them, so it’s likely that they knew many other things about what’s happening on earth.

Earth’s Not Our Home…or Is It?

article - Randy Alcorn

The Bible teaches that our eternal home will be a place we’ve already been—earth. It will be a New Earth, a transformed earth.

Does the Old Testament Reveal Specifics about the Location of Those Who Died and Were Saved?

Does the Old Testament Reveal Specifics about the Location of Those Who Died and Were Saved?

article - Randy Alcorn

The New Testament reflects much more specific revelation from God of the afterlife. Yet there are some strong Old Testament indicators, though not nearly as many.

Does the Idea We May Inhabit Other Planets Lend Credit to the Mormon Belief That You Get Your Own Planet When You Die?

article - Randy Alcorn

I’m not familiar with that as a Mormon belief. However, I have had upset people tell me “But Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses believe in the New Earth.”

Don't You Think Doing the Same Things We Did on Earth Will Seem Rather Boring and Mundane in the Light of Being Redeemed?

article - Randy Alcorn

Part of what we need to ask ourselves is why we would assume that we would not do many of the same things.

Do You Have Any Good Material You Can Give that Addresses the Subject of Purgatory?

Do You Have Any Good Material You Can Give that Addresses the Subject of Purgatory?

article - Randy Alcorn

I’ve been searching online for something to help you concerning purgatory, and I’m not happy with anything I’ve found. Some are brief, but too brief, don’t cite sufficient Scripture, and are just too shallow.

Does a Person Experience Emotional Healing Immediately upon Entering God's Presence, or Is it a Process?

Does a Person Experience Emotional Healing Immediately upon Entering God's Presence, or Is it a Process?

article - Randy Alcorn

I believe that as finite human beings who will live in space and time, we will go through a never-ending process of learning in Heaven, in that we will learn MORE as time goes on (Eph. 2:7). However, 1 Cor. 13:12 seems to suggest there will be immediate clarity of vision in God’s presence.

Do You Think It Is Possible That on the New Earth There Could Be the Essence of Marital Relationships without the Actual Institution of Marriage?

article - Randy Alcorn

I still can’t get around Christ’s words in Matthew 22, which seem to clearly refute the Sadducee’s assumptions that if there were a resurrection, it would mean marital partnerships from earth would carry over to the resurrected life, and therefore people would have multiple spouses.

Do You Think It Is Biblical to Talk to or Pray to Loved Ones who Have Gone on to Heaven?

Do You Think It Is Biblical to Talk to or Pray to Loved Ones who Have Gone on to Heaven?

article - Randy Alcorn

There’s a difference between talking to someone and praying to them, and if we keep that clear, I think that’s the key.

Do You Agree That If Something Is Eternal, It Is without Time?

article - Marshall Beretta

Your distinction about eternity being “without time” is interesting, however perhaps not supportable. Only God is timeless.

Do We Remain Conscious after Death?

article - Randy Alcorn

Every reference in Revelation to human beings talking and worshiping in Heaven prior to the resurrection of the dead demonstrates that our spiritual beings are conscious, not sleeping, after death.

Do Infants Go to Heaven When They Die?

article - Randy Alcorn

The teaching of the evangelical community has been 99.9% on the side of infant salvation. That's certainly where my heart is, and after reflecting on Scripture, if I had to put money on it, I'd put it on infants going to heaven when they die. But the difficulties involved are considerable.

Do People Now in Heaven Remember What Happened on Earth?

article - Randy Alcorn

In Heaven, we will recall some—likely most or all—of our lives on earth. This is among the most controversial beliefs I’ve presented in my books, yet there’s clear scriptural evidence for it.

Do We Have to Wait to Be with Christ until the New Earth?

Do We Have to Wait to Be with Christ until the New Earth?

article - Randy Alcorn

When we die we go to be with Christ (II Cor. 5:8) which is wonderful. But we are still incomplete, in a pre-resurrected state, anticipating Christ's return to earth, and our resurrections. The place we'll live forever will be where God comes down to dwell with us, on the New Earth (Revelation 21:1-3).

Do People Now in Heaven Pray for Those on Earth?

article - Randy Alcorn

Based on scriptural evidence, I believe the answer is "yes."
