In the fourth chapter of the Revelation to John, John describes a glimpse of the future. There is a throne in heaven, and the person sitting on it looks like jasper and sardius gemstones. Some 24 other thrones surround the first, with 24 leaders dressed in white sitting on them. Seven lamps are burning in front of the throne, being the seven Spirits of God. A sea of glass is in front of the throne, and there are four living animals:
The first animal was like a lion, the second animal was like a calf, the third animal had a face like a man, and the fourth was like a flying eagle. Each of the four living animals had six wings, and was covered with eyes all around. Day and night, they never stopped saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and is and will come!”
So is this a complete picture of what heaven is going to be like – strange animals, mysterious lamps, never-ending chants? If God is infinite and eternity lasts forever, then it clearly must be impossible to give a complete description of heaven, or even to attempt to imagine an accurate overview. I think that John has given just one view of heaven, but the reality will be far beyond what can be described in human words.
