Heaven Report

Revelations

14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls. 16 The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long. 17 He measured its wall and it was 144 cubits thick, by man's measurement, which the angel was using. 18 The wall was made of

jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. 19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated

with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third

chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite,

the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.

21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city

was of pure gold, like transparent glass. 22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light,

and the Lamb is its lamp. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will

bring their splendor into it. 25 On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night

there. 26 The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. 27 The names are

written in the Lamb's book of life.

River of Life

Revelations 22: Rev 22:1-7

22:1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the

throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the

river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the

leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne

of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.

4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of

a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and

ever. 6 The angel said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the

prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place."

Jesus is coming

7 "Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book."

12 "Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has

done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

14 "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go

through the gates into the city. 16 "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the

Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star." 20 He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's people. Amen.

Footnote (Eph 2:6): And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ

Jesus, Eph 2:7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his

grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

Footnote: (1 Thess 4:16-18): 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command,

with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to

meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. 18 Therefore encourage each other with

these words.

Footnote (Rev 22:3):3 The Father’s house will be a happy home because there will be work to do there.

John wrote in Revelation 22:3 .His servants shall serve Him. Each one will be given exactly the task

that suits his power, his tastes, and his abilities. And the Father’s house will be a happy home

because friends will be there. Not one of us who enters the Father’s house will feel lonely or strange,

for we who have put our trust in Christ are part of His family, sharing, heaven’s joys and forever with

all our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Carbon Dating

    • Carbon dating 14, in the late 1940's Willard Libby discovered a way to determine the age of dead plants and animals remains.
    • All living things are made of carbon. A very small amount of this carbon is carbon-14 a radioactive isotope. One a plant or animal dies, the carbon-14 in its body begins to disintegrate. Since we know how fast carbon-14 decays, we can determine the approximate age of organic matter.

History of Flight

  • 1900 - Pioneers began with gliders made of little more than wood and canvas and risked their lives to further our knowledge of flight.
  • 1920 - Spectacular air shows drew huge crowds, single seater monoplanes traveled faster than ever before, and aviation capture the attention of a word wide audience
  • 1930 - Golden age of aviation brought aircraft that were safer and more reliable than ever before. Air travel remained the province of the wealthy.
  • 1940 - The innovations of the time included high speed long range bombers and the cat changed the face of modern warfare. After the war large numbers of piston engines aircraft were used for commercial transport until superseded by jet power.
  • 1950 - The jet age came into its own with setting of new speed records and the first jet airliner. Electronic control made flying much safer than ever before
  • 1960 - The cold war gave rise to ever faster jets, sleek spy planes, and sophisticated helicopters. Airliners such as the Boeing 707 came into sue on the long haul routes.
  • 1970 - The Boeing 747 revolutionized commercial air transport. Fighter planes were routinely flying faster than the speed of sound, and Concorde brought the same performance to the civilian market. Vertical takeoff allowed powerful combat jets to be launched from the ocean going carriers
  • 1980 - Flying became a standard mode of travel, creating a fiercely competitive market. Jets became increasingly powerful, and the military revealed stealth planes.
  • 1990 - Airlines became bigger than ever before, and the executive jet market expanded. Military planes took a leap forward with B2 Spirit flying wing.
  • 2000 - After 100 years of flight there are more frontiers of flight for journeying to the edge of space.

International Space Station

    • Space station assembled from modules in Earth orbit largely by the U.S. and Russia, with assistance and components from a multinational consortium.
    • 1998: The launches of a Russian control module and a U.S.-built connecting node, which were linked in orbit by space shuttle astronauts
    • The project, which began as a U.S. effort, was long delayed by funding and technical problems. Originally called Freedom in the 1980s, it was redesigned in the 1990s to reduce costs and expand international involvement, at which time it was renamed. In-orbit construction started in late 1998 with the launches of a Russian control module and a U.S.-built connecting node, which were linked in orbit by space shuttle astronauts. In mid 2000 a habitat and control center module was added, and later in the year the ISS received its first resident crew, comprising two Russians and an American. Other elements were subsequently joined to the station, with the overall plan calling for a complex of laboratories and habitats crossed by a long truss supporting four large solar power arrays. Station construction involved at least 16 countries, including Canada, Japan, Brazil, and 11 members of the European Space Agency. Much of the early work aboard the ISS would focus on long-term life-sciences and material-sciences research in the weightless environment. It was expected to serve as the basis for human operations in Earth orbit for at least the first quarter of the 21st century.
