ANIMALS IN HEAVEN 7/19/11
A man once told me there would be no animals in heaven, and he even quoted Scripture to back it up. He quoted:
"Who knows if the spirit of a man rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?" (Eccl 3:21)
But I told him that it was necessary to read more:
I also thought, "As for men, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals. Man's fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both. As one dies, so does the other. All have the same breath; man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. Who knows if the spirit of a man rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?" (Eccl 3:18-21)
Since Jesus will ride the white horse, and the lamb will lie down with the lion... I'm pretty sure that all that we have been blessed with here on earth, for our enjoyment, will also be with us in heaven.
God bless!

interesting article/devotion on animals and heaven. One thing I am curious about is how do you think animals fare in the rapture? Do some go or are all left behind? I am guessing animals in heaven may be different(perfect) than the ones here on earth too. After all heaven, at least the third one is God's realm. God bless you and yours.
Just as we will inherit glorified bodies... they too will be perfect... All given the breath of life... Truly my thoughts because there is nothing specific in the Scriptures... God bless!
