 There are lots of horses in Heaven |
doyle |
This is in response to Larry's question "Do animals go to Heaven?"
Years ago, after Sunday night church, a group of about 10 of us went to Shoney's for a hot fudge cake and fellowship around the table. The conversation turned to whether animals went to heaven or not.
The majority decided that "No," animals do not go to heaven. Our daughter Sherdonna, about 11 years old at the time, raised her hand and said, "There are a lot of horses in heaven."
"What makes you think that?" she was asked.
She replied, "The Bible says Jesus and the saints will return on white horses, so that means there are horses in heaven."
BRILLIANT! She obviously takes after her Mother  . When we got home that night, I took out the grand ole Strong's Concordance and "Sho nuff." Here are a few Scriptures: Revelation 6:2-8, 19:11, 19:14.
Does that mean all animals go to Heaven? Probably not. Even all people won't go to Heaven. Maybe those "horses" in Revelation are a special breed made especially for that return event. Will they be flesh & blood horses? I don't know. Or, maybe John the Revelator saw something that in his understanding at the time, seemed to be horses.
That's my opinion. What's yours?

| animals in heaven? Yes. Animals passing from Earth to Heaven after death? I don't think so. Memories of beloved animals as real as waking? Maybe |

the devil goes about as a roaring lion, and he is seen in the courtroom setting accusing the brethren before God, so I'd say there's your cat. |

We don't know that the horse in Revelation used to live on the earth.
Does anyone thing horses go up in the rapture at the resurrection? Are we talking about disembodied spirit-horses?
