Then I, John, saw the holy city.
Revelation 21:2
Recommended Reading:  Revelation 21:2-5
On one occasion, the apostle Paul was “caught up to the third heaven…. caught up into Paradise and  heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for man to utter” (2 Corinthians 12:2-4). Paul  got a glimpse of heaven, the memory of which propelled him through all the remaining trials of his  life. But he wasn’t allowed to describe what he had seen. Why not? Maybe it’s because that was  John’s job.
In the book of Revelation, John, too, was caught up into Paradise (Revelation 4:1-2). God intended  for the final book of the Bible to be a glimpse of heaven for all of us through the descriptions  given in the 22 chapters of Revelation. There we find brilliant worship (Revelation 4–5), a vast  multitude of believers and angelic beings (Revelation 7:9-12), the King of kings and Lord of lords  (Revelation 17:14), a new heaven and new earth (Revelation 21:1), and a glorious capital city which  serves as the seat of government for our eternal home (Revelation 21–22).
When you read the book of Revelation, look for every detail you can find about heaven. God has  revealed it, and it is our glorious hope!
The moment we take our last breath on earth, we take our first in Heaven. Billy Graham
