This is another view of the gate that leads to the Throne of God. The lights on top of the pillars are actually angelic beings.

Close-up of the front gate to the walkway leading to the Throne of God. The angelic being is greeting a boy who is entering heaven and the street he is walking on is made of pure gold, as described in Revelation chapter 21.

This is a rear-view of the steps to the Throne of God, the fountains, and the river of life that comes from the Throne. The river of life flows beneath the Throne area, and a rainbow encircles the Throne. Seven lampstands surround the Throne (4 can be seen from the rear; 3 more are in front of the Throne area). The sea of glass is on each side of the gold-street walkway, and the back-side of the Gate to heaven is seen off in the distance. See Revelation chapters 4, 20-21, and Ezekiel chapters 1 and 10.

This is a side-view of the river of life going towards the Throne of God, as well as the sea of glass floor and the walkway of gold. The Tree of Life is not seen - it is on the other end.

This is another view of the gate to heaven with the 4 living creatures shown in the distance. The intense light is coming from the Throne of God. The green building is made of pure Emerald. Revelation describes the heavenly Jerusalem from a distance; this picture is from the point of view of someone standing inside of the city. The heavenly Jerusalem is incomprehensible to me; I cannot even think of a way to illustrate it so that its beauty and size could be shown. It is like trying to take pictures of the Grand Canyon - only harder - you cannot appreciate the Grand Canyon until you actually go there and see it for the first time. It takes your breath away.

This is a view of one corner of the complex. The sperical-shaped building is a giant piece of artwork, and the river of life flows in and out of the tributaries and lakes shown. Again, there aren’t any people shown because I don’t have a large enough computer to model that aspect.

This is the Throne of God, showing the 4 living creatures as described in Revelation chapter 4. The Son of God is “Seated at the right hand of the Throne of the Majesty on high.” (Hebrews 8:1). The 24 Elders are not shown - again, too hard for my computer to render right at this time. More of the 7 Lampstands that surround the Throne are shown.

Abraham lived in tents, and Hebrews chapter 11 talks about him “Looking for a city with foundations.” A tent doesn’t have foundations. He was looking for a heavenly city, and new country, and by faith he believed that he would someday see it. Jesus said in John chapter 14, “In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.”

In I Peter chapter 1 we read, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has caused us to be born again to a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead so that we may obtain an inheritance that is incorruptible, undefiled, and reserved in heaven for us.”  Hebrews chapter 6 says, “We have this hope, which is an anchor for the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast, and one which enters within the veil.” The veil they are talking about is the veil (curtain, several inches thick) which was a barrier to people from entering the most Holy place in the temple. When Jesus died on the cross, it says that “The veil was torn in two, from top to bottom, and there was a great earthquake.” God was saying loud and clear that we could now enter into His presence, free from any barriers. This is our “living hope,” reserved in heaven for us, and it is our hope right now, because we are told In Hebrews 10 that we can “Enter with confidence to the Holy place, by the blood of Jesus.”

There are no barriers to God’s throne for the person who has accepted the free gift of God - Jesus Christ - and the shedding of his blood so that we would “not perish, but have eternal life” John 3:16. We are encouraged to enter God’s presence any time we have needs.

“He is a stronghold for those who seek Him.” Psalm 9
