Are There Restrooms In Heaven?

But what about the new heaven and earth? Will time stop? Clearly not!

“But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death” Rev 21:8

Here in the New Heaven and Earth we see time mentioned regarding those who did not Believe the Gospel. They’re in the “lake of fire that burns...,” which is a reference to time for people who have died.

But this earth will be destroyed by fire one day at the end of the Millennium and we’ll have a New Heaven and Earth (Rev 21:1). Time will also be there:

“Then he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month.” Rev 22:1-2

Every month! There won’t be a sun or moon to measure time like we do today, but there’s definitely time somehow being measured in the New Heaven and Earth.

Einstein showed that time was a physical property that varies depending on mass, acceleration and gravity. Who knows if there's any gravity in heaven or how fast we'll be speeding through the universe.

Also it's important to note that time on this earth, as used in our lives, was originally created “good.”

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth…. God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. Gen. 1:1,5

“God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good.” Gen. 1:31

We measure and mark time with birthdays, marriages, events and such. And when you think about it, the only bad thing about time is that, after Adam’s sinful fall, time ultimately brings death. But in heaven, there is no death, so time will be on our side.

Uh, how about restrooms?

We also know that when we get to heaven we’ll go to the big dinner, called the Marriage Supper of the Lamb (Rev. 19:9). There we’ll eat food and drink wine. Jesus said:

“And He said to them, ‘I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; for I say to you, I shall never again eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.’ And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He said, ‘Take this and share it among yourselves; for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.’”   Luke 22:15–18

I’ve always wondered what the wine was like that Jesus made at the wedding in Cana. So I'm looking forward to tasting His wine at the Marriage Supper! Now it won't be polite to stare at your Baptist friends who've got no clue what to do. Just saying...
