Description

From the moment Adam and Eve lost the Edenic paradise, every generation of God’s people has waited for a new heaven and a new Earth as their eternal home. For many today, however, the word “heaven” has become meaningless, a concept that belongs to the realm of fairy tales. We delude ourselves, they say, if we think there is some kind of life beyond this current existence. Some go so far as to say that it is positively wrong to tell people that there is a heaven. They argue that it keeps people from putting all their efforts into what they could achieve in life here and now.
