Surely it is not wrong for us to think and talk about Heaven. I like to find out all I can about it. I expect to live there through all eternity.

The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.  No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him.

They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.
