I love that you get excited about that!! A lot of people have been deceived to believe that what we have going on here in this life is better than what we have waiting for us with Jesus, so they never think about what's coming and how amazing it's going to be. Or they think Heaven will be boring and they'll have to float around with harps or singing church music that they hate for all eternity. Or, even more messed up, they think that Jesus and Heaven will be disappointing and they'll want what they had here. Couldn't be further from the truth. I promise it will make everything here, even the very best stuff, look like dirt. Friends, family, boyfriends, sex, marriage, babies, traveling the world, excitement, adventure, you name it - dirt. Imagine you've waited your whole life for the perfect person to swoop in and make everything right. He'll be thrilled to see you and you'll finally know what it means to be whole and happy without even a hint of sadness or fear or anxiety or any of the bad stuff. You'll never worry about anything ever again and each day will be filled with joy and laughter and new experiences. You'll get to spend forever with this one Perfect Person, the love of your life, and nobody can ever take that away from you. You know the fairy tale we all grew up with about a knight riding in on a white horse to save the day? Here's where that comes from:
I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. - Revelations 19:11-12
Jesus is the original White Knight and He's promised to come and get us out of this mess. And I can't think of anything more exciting than that.

I think it is very nice to hear about other people that agree that we should be excited for Jesus to come back from heaven onto this earth and take his rightful place as king, not only will he come back but i think that all the people who believed and went to Heaven will come back with him, then everybody in this world will know God is real!

I love the conection between the White Knight and fairy tales. I have always love fairy tales and have read all of my extensive librarys selection(or @ least most of them). I can now imagine Jesus as the hero, charming prince, or fearless rescuer. thanks!

It's great that you are excited! I am to! It's probaly beacause there is so much sin in our world, and we are just tired of it. I hate when I hear about things like murder, robberies, etc. But I know that when Jesus reaturns, that will all be over!

I get excited too! Perhaps you have heard of all of these "predictions" of when the world is going to end. I personally do not believe any of them, and really I pity the people who are scared and living in fear of this happening. I picture my leaving this earth as returning home to my Father, and as a wonderful and beautiful thing. These poor people that believe that it will be the end...its only the begining!
