So, i was kinda frustrated today...or more like, a few moments ago...so i decide to look for a Bible verse that could calm my frustration level down. But as i looked, I ended up reading Revelations...

It's always good to know what it's like in "heaven". Who wouldn't? It's the life after death, a life after our previous life. How cool is tht...

In the Quran, they believe that heaven's a place where you'll see and get all the hot-women/hot guys you want, and also everything else you basically wanted on earth. It's kinda like...not taking the reward in the previous life, but getting it in the next.

In the Bible, it's more like...doing God's work on earth (don't live rich and merry, it has that context), and be rewarded in heaven. Except you don't even know what this reward is like. "Eternal Life". what does that mean...in heaven. How does it feel like, to have "eternal life". I'll never know. But it's just described with the most joyful, holy, sinless place. Oh, and it did mention a gold path...in heaven.

So, I'm intrigued bout what this "heaven" could be like. Like...it could come anyday. Every day...is a closer day, to Jesus coming back. But you just DOn't know when.

Anewayz, bac to the topic:

Chapter 4 (jus a scan...)

"And there before me, was a door standing open in heaven."

The Bible always makes it so "sun fa"...other wrds...um i dunno actually, how to say it in english.

"the ONE who sat there had an appearance of jasper (transparent, red quartz [rock]) and carnelian (opaque, impure quartz, [rock])."

so descriptive...i wonder how they can describe someone like "God" so detailedly.

"A rainbow resembling an emerald, encircled the throne."

"In the centre...there were four creatures...covered with eyes...in front and back."

where do these creatures come from??...they seem so random, and freaky. But there's some kind of symbolism to all of it.

Chapter 5

"Who is worthy to open the scrolls?"...

"Then, I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain....He came and took the scroll....and when He had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders feel down before the Lamb."

The lamb being Jesus Christ.
