Heaven in the BibleThe Bible, like the Church, is definite in its promise but modest in its description of heaven. In Scripture we find heaven compared to a banquet (Isaiah 25:6, Revelation 19:9) — a feast where hunger is fed to perfect contentment. St. Pope John Paul II said, “Heaven is neither an abstraction nor a physical place in the clouds, but a living, personal relationship with the Holy Trinity. Thus it’s a mistake to think of heaven exclusively as “the afterlife.” We acknowledge the presence of all of heaven, for example — “all the angels and saints” — whenever we go to Mass. God is love, and heaven is our share in God’s love.
