Books in Heaven



How do you feel about gleaning evidence? It can be such a thrill to extract additional knowledge from a few dry bones. In the archaeological site of the Bible let’s dig up some old bones, shall we? The original ten commandments given to Moses were written with the finger of God. Ezekiel saw in heaven a two-sided scroll written within and without. In the book of Daniel, a hand appeared writing words. The Father while upon his throne passed a sealed, much-beloved book to his Son. There is the Book of Life in Revelation. This could possibly be described as Heaven’s Family Tree. There are also the books where deeds of evil doers are documented and preserved for the day of judgment.



Here are some gleanings. Our God is a writer. Intuitively we know that if we have some bones, there must be more. Where are all the other books? Hmm, Heaven must have a library of sorts. Now we enter into the hypothetical realm. Perhaps that is what they call the 5th heaven. Just think Heaven might be something like a skyscraper of infinite dimensions. My imagination zips around the bend like the start of a whirlwind lifting me up to timeless days spent reading books; books written by God.

I like your concept of more books in heaven. You could have mentioned that I believe John said that this world could not hold all the words of what Jesus did in his short 3 years of ministry.
Good job.

It's great to be reminded how many times the Bible refers to books and writing. After all Jesus himself is "the Word". Good job.

You certainly got my attention! Keep up the good writing and just a little reminder--Each week the powers that be direct us to NOT use the weekly challenge word as part of the title.

Be blessed abundantly! Betty

Thank you for your submission! The phrase, "Our God is a Writer" stood out in my mind, and made me feel so privileged to know Him. Have you ever tried using dialog? This might be a great scene, as different books "talk back" from God's creative library! Great job!

There is some scientific sniffing going on here with some thought also. Some of these thoughts are given to us by God while others are ours to imagine.

The "sound" of this writing is somewhat different than most writings but this is what makes it different.

I liked it.

Congratulations on your 3rd place finish in the Beginners category, Michelle.

To be honest, I never thought about a library in heaven. But God is the Word, the Bible is a book sent down from God, and there are many mentions of scrolls or written words mentioned throughout the Bible.
