We do not have a complete picture of the beauty and wonders that await the redeemed of God in heaven.  We do have a small glimpse, however.

Heaven is a part of God's creation.  It's the dwelling place of God, the redeemed of earth, and the holy angels.  It's ,also, the place Jesus was referring to when He told His disciples, " In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you.  I go to prepare a place for you.  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also." 1

Heaven is that part of God's creation which separates His dwelling place from human beings upon earth.2   It does not, however, separate, or isolate God, for God is everywhere present at all times.3

It is from heaven that the blessings of God flow.4

Within heaven is found the holy city of God, and within this city, is found the throne of God.  The glory of God the Father emanating from the throne is the brilliance of jasper and carnelian stones.  A rainbow resembling an emerald, also, encircles His throne and from His throne comes flashes of lightening, rumblings, and peals of thunder.

Seated at the right hand of the glory of God the Father is Christ Jesus, God's one and only son. 

Surrounding God's throne are twenty-four other thrones, and seated upon them, are twenty-four elders.

Before the throne of God seven lamps blaze representing God the Holy Spirit5, and also before the throne of God, there is what looks like a sea of glass as clear as crystal.

Around the throne of God, four living creatures (angels) and the twenty four elders never stop praising God.  Each has a harp and they hold bowls full of incense which are the prayers of the saints.

Also around the throne, angels numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand praise and worship God the Father and Christ Jesus His one and only son.

Also before the throne of God, the redeemed of earth serve God day and night in His temple.6
