Heaven – Will You Be Going There?: Jack Hibbs

Key Insights

Reflections on Salvation and Afterlife

  • 📜 “He who overcome shall inherit all things and I will be his god and he shall be my son.”
  • 📚 The Bible is designed in such a way that even if someone only had one book, they would come to the knowledge of Christ as their savior or the need for a sacrifice.
  • 🤔 Are you going to heaven? It’s a question that prompts self-reflection and consideration of one’s beliefs.
  • 📚 The book of Job is the oldest book in the Bible, highlighting its significance and historical value.
  • 🌌 God challenges Job’s understanding of the universe by asking him how he binds constellations together and moves them without collision, highlighting the vastness of God’s knowledge and control.
  • 😇 “God did not invent hell to send humans. Humans go there because they demand to go there.”
  • 💀 When we die, our soul and consciousness leave our body, highlighting the belief that there is an existence beyond physical death.

Descriptions of Heaven

  • 🌅 The city in heaven described in the transcript has no need for the sun or the moon, as the glory of God illuminates it.
  • 😮 The best that man can do is awe-inspiring, but it pales in comparison to what heaven must be like.
  • 🌸 “The things that God has prepared for those who love Him, eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man.”
  • 🌍 The concept of heaven is mentioned, implying that humans were designed by God to be in fellowship with him and that he will eventually undo the world.
  • 🌳 The description of heaven in the Bible includes transparent golden streets, trees, and nations bringing their glory, sparking curiosity about the incredible wonders that await.

Summary

  • 📚 The speaker emphasizes the importance of studying biblical prophecy to understand God’s plans for the future, particularly regarding the ultimate question of whether someone will go to heaven, which is not a default destination but described as a new world with gates made of pearls, a city of pure gold, and only accessible to those written in the lamb’s book of life.
  • 🏰 There is a desire within us to explore grand places like palaces and castles, and the speaker compares the grandness of heaven to the beauty and healing properties of these surroundings.
  • 🌌 Heaven is a decision we make through belief in God and Jesus, and it is a place of beauty and wonder that surpasses our understanding, with believers experiencing a joyful funeral while non-believers’ funerals are more difficult.
  • 🌌 We don’t need blind faith to believe in God, as the natural witness of creation and the beauty of the universe testify to His existence and power, inspiring us to desire heaven.
  • 📚 People should prioritize protecting their relationships and spiritual well-being, prepare for heaven by putting on spiritual armor, and understand that our consciousness leaves our body when we die, but believers in God are present with the Lord; non-Jews also have a sense of right and wrong written in their hearts through their conscience.
  • 📚 Beware of deceptive demonic influences that can pull you away from your faith, as they disguise themselves as helpers and speak lies and hypocrisy.
  • 🙏 If you become desensitized to sin and don’t acknowledge your sins, you won’t be able to feel God’s love or go to heaven, but by dedicating your life to Jesus and acknowledging your sins, you can be saved and have a fresh start.
  • 🙏 Praying to Jesus and proclaiming Him as Lord and Savior will transform your life and secure your place in heaven; support the channel by subscribing, sharing, and donating if you’d like.
