    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 7, 2022
     | 2,344 views

    There is so much speculation about heaven but we have very little to go on in the word. People express the hope of heaven being a reunion and we look at that. Whom do you want to meet in heaven? That is what we will consider here. Heaven could be very close.

    Whom will YOU meet in heaven? INTRODUCTION Talk to Christians about heaven and what that will be like, and you have so many variant answers. That is normal, for none of us knows any details and a lot of what we think is more in line with our own assumptions. What will you do there? Will we ...read more
