“Koimao was also used to describe someone who slept in a hotel for one night and the next day would get up to continue his or her journey. This is a beautiful image of what happens to believers’ bodies when they die. Their bodies go to sleep, awaiting the Resurrection at the Rapture—while their souls and spirits go to be with our Lord in heaven.” (Page 12)
“The souls and spirits of today’s believers go immediately to the third heaven because Paradise is no longer an intermediate place; Paradise is now with God (2 Corinthians 12:2–4).” (Page 14)
“In fact, Ecclesiastes 3 says that God has actually put eternity in our hearts. What this means is that God has built us with a space within us that can’t be satisfied with anything except heaven. And that’s the reason we aren’t going to be bored in heaven—it’s everything our hearts long for! In Paradise, we will finally feel the completeness that we were created to enjoy.” (Page 30)
“Both the Old and New Testaments depict heaven as a place that is high, lofty, and lifted up. The Old Testament word for heaven is shamayim, which means ‘the heights.’ And in the New Testament, the Greek word ouranos refers to heaven as that which is ‘raised up or lofty.’” (Page 6)
“For one, we already know that we’ll be ruling and reigning with Christ over this renovated earth during the Millennium” (Page 28)
