We Will Have Hobbies and Pets in Heaven - Dr. Gene Kim

okay here we go next comment do you think that within all of that grande experience in both the Millennial Kingdom and the eternal state the Lord will allow us as born-again Christians to participate in hobbies and interests that are of course not simple and that he allows such as collecting objects that appealed to us whether it be gemstones and unique mineral crystals or pocket knives and watches or perform works of art building new inventions and designs studying and collecting knowledge on various topics of interest so this is a very interesting question actually I wonder if we're going to do these things that we do on earth swimming and other types of activities I would appreciate your views regarding this second related question oh if you have a pet you want to hear this one the issue of pets and heaven I know that animals do not have a spirit like we do that continues on after the point of physical death like the Bible does seem to indicate that they do not go to heaven automatically like we do but as long as the Lord says yes to it do you think there's a good possibility that out of mercy and compassion for us in heaven he could or would somehow we create or resurrect our favorite family pets such as cats and dogs to enjoy eternal joy in together the nests with us there alright Isaiah 65 coincidentally coincidentally Isaiah actually covers both of those questions believe it or not so in Isaiah 65 what we Christians believe in is that one day we will live in the Millennium with the Lord Jesus Christ the Millennium is a kingdom on earth that will last for a thousand years but here's the question the question is in this kingdom on earth that we're going to enjoy so the Millennium is God's kingdom on earth so the question is since we're going to be reigning on earth and enjoying a good time on earth can we have those same hobbies restored that we used to do on earth and can we have our pets resurrected so the bible does teach this it does teach this you will have hobbies on earth to do and you will have pests in the Millennium that's what the bible does teach believe it or not it says these two things coincidentally look at Isaiah 65 we're going to look at verse 17 the Bible reads right here for behold I create new heavens and a new earth and the former shall not be remembered nor coming to mind ok so this is going to happen during the new heavens and a new earth now in the new heavens and new earth what we're going to notice is that look at verse 21 verse 21 ok so this passage is going to be talking about the Millennium next verse 21 and they shall notice what build houses and inhabit them and they shall plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them so notice that certain earthly hobbies and tasks that they will be able to do also you're going to notice that they do have pets look at verse 21 the Bible says right here excuse me not 21 verse 22 they shall not build and another in habit they shall not plant in another eat so notice planting is there to see hobby squares the days of a tree are the days of my people and mine aleksa long enjoy the work of their hands see that so they can enjoy the things they can do with their hands hobbies that they do so there are hobbies that you can do at the Millennium you'll notice verse 23 talks about it as well let's get down to verse 25 the wolf and the lamb shall be together and the lion shall eat straw like the bullet and dust shall be the Serpent's meat so the notice right here this is about the wolf and lamb dwelling together now look at verse look at chapter 11 chapter 11 that same context chapter 11 chapter 11 talks about the same context about the wolf and the lamb or I the wolf and the lamb together and it will show little children having pests look at chapter 11 and we're going to look at verse 6 the bottom the Bible reads right here the wolf also shall dwell with the lamb so that same context remember Isaiah 65 the wolf in the lamb all right so this is undoubtedly the Millennium now keep reading and the leopard shall lie down with the kid and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together and what a little child shall lead them ain't that cool riding a leopard man that is cool let's also look at verse 8 verse 8 and the sucking child so even an infant alright shall play on the whole of the one ASP so a bunch of asked snakes and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice net so he can play with poisonous beasts and the ass and he will not get hurt what a paradise see what a Millennium so there are hobbies and tests now the questions is this the question that we don't know is specific hobby see that so we don't know that we don't know which specific hobbies we will do or what a specific test will be we will have again so the sad news is this is that like that brother mentioned pets what happened to them after they died which that brother knows is that Ecclesiastes chapter 3 verse 21 after they die they do not go to like heaven or hell or any other place what happens to them is that the book says the spirit of man that goes upward and the spirit of eat a spirit of the Beast that goes downwards to the earth that's why you got the saying by a theist that when he dies he's not going to go to heaven or hell when he dies we're just gonna die like dogs see that phrase I saying where what does that mean that means you just plainly die that's it you return to the earth so that's what the Bible says about pets so the thing is this is that we don't know if God's going to resurrect them or what specific pests will be there or what specific hobbies will be restored but here's something that's very important to understand is that back at Isaiah 65 go back to Isaiah 65 here's something important that will help you understand that it's not going to be as sad and tragic as you think alright so oh yeah I can't have this hobby again or I can't have this pet again so certain specifics I cannot have you got to realize this it doesn't matter what specifics you think of let me ask you this question the specifics that man wants is that better or the specific that God has planned out are better what do you think is better see that God is better so whatever specifics he gives you with hobbies and pests will always be far far greater and better than man look at the Book of Isaiah 65 Isaiah 65 and verse 17 for behold I create new heavens and a new earth so we read that before but look at this and the former shall not be what remembered nor come into mind but not only that we're not going to turn over there revelation 21 is even better in Revelation 21 it talks about new heaven new earth so same context again but when you look at that verse it says the former things are not remembered everything is made new and the former things include our sorrows our tears our sadness so you might think that this is sad but it's actually not because what's going to happen is this what you think is going to be sad those things will soon be forgotten and replaced with something better and not only that that sadness will go away that verse says that verse promise that sadness will go away and the former things will not even come mind you know why because you're just enjoying whatever specific God gave and you got after five million years up in heaven you think that you're going to be sad about way way back then no you're going to realize that God promises those former things will be gone God promise you're not going to remember that sadness those tragic things so whatever tragic thing you're thinking about about hobbies and pets here's the best answer to that what the best answer to that is don't think about that sadness well that's hard now right because we still have the sadness so what God's going to do is get going to get rid of that sadness who will wipe it away so you're going to totally understand why God does things he does things not only that whatever specifics he does we really believe it's going to be better than our specifics right so with that faith and with that promise that you're not going to remember any sad specific that you wanted we can truly believe that it's going to be great it's going to be awesome whatever hobby whatever pet we have and we just read a couple I think it's pretty awesome right already yeah writing a leopard-man that is going to be awesome you
