Moses and the prophets tell us only a little about heaven. Asaph, the worship leader of Israel, tells us as much as anyone when he says to his God, "You will guide me with Your counsel, and afterward recieve me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You" (Psalm 73:24-25).Later the prophet Isaiah predicts a new relationship between heaven and earth. He foresees a day of international peace, when God will live among His people on earth, when even wild animals will no longer prey on one another (Isaiah 2:4; 65:25). Isaiah envisions the eventual renewal and restoration of earth and sky when he quotes God as saying, "For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.... The voice of weeping shall no longer be heard in her, nor the voice of crying" (Isaiah 65:17-19).NEXT: Heaven in the teaching of Jesus
