CHERYL ALWAYS WANTED TO HAVE A BABY, but after several years of marriage she sadly discovered that she was unable to.So as time passed, she and her husbandadopted three children, and raised them as their own, giving them all of the love and care that they possibly could. Cheryl never dreamt that her desire to bear children of her own would one day be fulfilled!
BUT HERE IN THIS PICTURE, WE SEE CHERYL LOVING and COMFORTING THE FIRST CHILD TO WHOM SHE HAS GIVEN BIRTH! The baby is greeting and thanking his mommy for delivering him into the beautiful Heavenly World into which he is now born! Cheryl's friends and loved ones who were with her during the birth are all rejoicing and thanking God for such a safe, painless and perfect delivery!
ALTHOUGH IT WASN'T NECESSARY FOR ANY DOCTORS, NURSES OR MEDICAL PERSONNEL TO ASSIST HER, one of the strong, supernatural, winged Guardians--who are always present to help the residents of this wonderful place--is on hand, to encourage and strengthen her, as well as to welcome the beautiful new child into this wonderful new World!
THIS BEAUTIFUL SCENE IS OBVIOUSLY NOT TAKING PLACE IN ANY MATERNITY WARD OR CLINIC IN THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT TODAY, but in a better World that God has prepared for all those who love Him, Heaven!--Which you may be surprised to know is not some fancy dreamland way off in outer space somewhere, but an even more amazing Dream City that's going to come down from God out of space to land on a beautiful, re-created New Earth!
HEAVEN IS REAL! The billions of God's children who have already died and gone on to be with the Lord are already enjoying this wonderful gigantic golden City of Love which the Bible says will come down and stand upon the Earth, 1500 miles high, 1500 miles wide and 1500 miles long! (Rev.21:16) It is a real place, a final Home where everyone who loves the Lord will enjoy Heaven on Earth forever!
BUT FIRST, THE BIBLE SAYS, JESUS CHRIST WILL SOON RETURN "IN THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN WITH POWER and GREAT GLORY" (Mat.24:29-31), and that all of God's saved children will receive new super-bodies that will fly up from off the Earth to meet Him in the air! (1Thes.4:16,17) He will then whisk us all away through space to His Heavenly City, where we will attend a Heavenly reunion with all our departed loved ones, "The Marriage Feast of the Lamb!"(Rev.19:6-9)
OUR BODIES THEN WILL BE LIKE JESUS' BODY WHEN HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD. (Phil.3:21 ; IJn.3:2) After He came back from the grave, He could appear or disappear at will, walk right through solid walls and locked doors, and fly from one place to another with the speed of thought!--So in some ways our wonderful super-bodies of the future will be much different and more powerful than our present Earthly models.
BUT IN OTHER WAYS OUR HEAVENLY BODIES WILL BE VERY MUCH THE SAME AS THE BODIES WE HAVE NOW. When Jesus came back from the dead, He still looked like Himself, still felt like Himself, and could still eat, drink, and even cook! He told His disciples, "Touch Me, feel Me, see that it is I! A spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have!" (Luk.24:39) So our new Heavenly bodies are going to be able to enjoy all of the pleasures that our Earthly bodies enjoy here and now!
AFTER ALL, IT WAS GOD WHO CREATED ALL OF THE SIMPLE PLEASURES and JOYS OF LIFE FOR US TO ENJOY! He made our bodies and our senses to be able to look upon and enjoy things which are beautiful, to taste things which are delicious, to hear beautiful sounds and music, to feel nice things that we touch and to smell the beautiful fragrance of a flower or even a delicious meal that is cooking! It would be ridiculous for God to just throw away all of these wonderful Heavenly things He has already made for our pleasure and enjoyment!
SO IN HEAVEN, WE WILL ENJOY ALL OF THE SAME PLEASURES THAT WE NOW ENJOY HERE ON THIS EARTH!--Including sex! In our new, powerful, wonderful, supernatural bodies we'll be able to eat and drink and be merry, have fun, make love and enjoy all of the pleasures of this present life!--But in our Heavenly bodies we'll be able to enjoy all these things to the full! Even more than we do now!
AND IF WE'RE GOING TO BE ENJOYING SEX and LOVEMAKING IN HEAVEN, just like the Angels did with the beautiful young women on Earth before the Flood, why shouldn't we have children There too! (Gen.6:2,4) Imagine! They would be born right in Heaven! One day while thinking and wondering why the Lord made His Heavenly Space City so huge, so gigantic, with 1 billion, 125 million cubic miles of living space, I asked Him, "Lord, what did You need so much extra room for?", and He said, "Who said there wasn't going to be more people born There!"
AFTER ALL, ONE OF THE GREATEST PLEASURES OF LIFE IS HAVING CHILDREN and WATCHING THEM GROW UP! And in Heaven there will be no pain, no morning sickness, no weariness, no problems of any kind for the pregnant mothers or for the babies! The children will all grow up in a perfect, safe and beautiful place where there will be no dangers and no strangers!--And all of the girls and women who were never able to bear children here, like Cheryl, they'll be able to have them There!
JUST THINK OF ALL THE PLEASURES and ADVANTAGES OF REARING CHILDREN IN HEAVEN! Babies like Cheryl's newborn son, will never have to cry! They'll have everything they need. We'll be able to read their little minds and we won't ever have to wonder what they're needing even if they did cry!
THE BIBLE SAYS SPECIFICALLY THAT THERE WILL BE NO MORE PAIN and NO MORE CURSE THERE! (Rev.21:4 ; 22:3)--The pain and travail of childbirth is part of the curse that came upon Adam and Eve after they sinned and disobeyed the Lord! (Gen. 3:16) But this will all be done away with There, and there will be no sickness, pain, heaviness or problems of any kind!--Painless childbirth and worriless child-rearing in a perfect environment--everything perfect, everything beautiful, everything a pleasure--Heaven!
GOD'S ORIGINAL PLAN IN THE VERY BEGINNING, HIS FIRST COMMANDMENT TO ADAM and EVE WAS TO "BE FRUITFUL and MULTIPLY!" (Gen.1:28) He wanted to populate the Earth with pure, perfect children. But apparently Adam and Eve's sons, Cain and Abel, were not born until after they disobeyed the Lord and fell into sin. So the World never got to have those perfect children! But God's plan is not going to be defeated! He is still going to have a Heaven on Earth full of Heavenly children, just as He planned in the very beginning!
I THINK HEAVEN WOULD BE A PRETTY DEAD PLACE WITHOUT CHILDREN, if everybody who went There grew up and turned out to be nothing but a bunch of middle-aged adults and old fogies!--It would become an old folks' home! What a dead place! Children are what give life, joy, beauty, thrills and excitement to this World!
AND WHO KNOWS?--MAYBE GOD IS PLANNING ON USING HIS HEAVENLY CITY and THE NEW EARTH AS A GREAT BIG GRAND HOME-BASE to have more Heavenly children so He can then populate the entire Universe! Who knows but what the Lord may want to colonise other Worlds with His new perfect children! What's the whole Universe and all that huge amount of space for if He's only interested in colonising this one little planet?--What a thought!
IT WILL BE AN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL WORLD THEN!--Where everyone who has ever received God's Love into their heart will have a place reserved personally for them, and where they will live and love and enjoy the Lord and all of their friends and loved ones forever!
WILL YOU LIVE IN THAT WONDERFUL HEAVENLY CITY?--And be one of the saved who will have a wonderful super-body to enjoy for all Eternity? Will you have children "born in Heaven"? Well you can! In fact, you can have a real taste and sample of Heaven in your own life right now, if you'll just receive God's Son, Jesus, into your heart!
JESUS PROMISED, "BEHOLD, I STAND AT THE DOOR (OF YOUR HEART), and KNOCK: If any one hear My voice and open the door, I will come into him!" (Rev.3:20) He loves you and will come into your heart right now and give you His free Gift of Eternal Heavenly Life if you'll simply pray this little prayer:
"Dear Jesus, I believe that You are the Son of God and that You died for me. Please forgive me for all my sins. I now open the door of my heart and I ask You, dear Jesus, to please come in and give me Your free Gift of Eternal Life!--In Jesus' name I pray. Amen."
