1. Skae. Tok ya “heven” i save minim ples antap long wol ya we win i blu, pijin i flae, klaod i mekem ren mo sno i foldaon, mo laetning i faerap. (Ol Sam 78:26; Ol Proveb 30:19; Aesea 55:10; Luk 17:24) Hem i save minim tu, spes raon long wol blong yumi we “san mo mun mo ol sta” oli stap long hem.—Dutronome 4:19; Jenesis 1:1.

2. Ples we ol spirit oli stap long hem. Tok ya “heven” i save minim ples blong ol spirit, wan laef we i hae moa mo i afsaed long yunives blong yumi. (1 King 8:27; Jon 6:38) Long heven ya, i gat Jehova God i stap, we hem i “Spirit,” wetem ol enjel we hem i krietem. (Jon 4:24; Matiu 24:36) Samtaem, “heven” i olsem pijatok we i minim ol gudfala enjel, “kongregesen blong ol tabu man.”—Ol Sam 89:5-7.

   Mo tu, Baebol i yusum tok ya “heven” blong tokbaot ples we Jehova i stap long hem, ‘ples blong hem long heven.’ (1 King 8:43, 49; Hibru 9:24; Revelesen 13:6) Baebol i talem se oli sakemaot Setan mo ol rabis enjel long heven, nao oli no moa save go long ples we Jehova i stap long hem. Nating se i olsem, oli stap yet long ples blong ol spirit.—Revelesen 12:7-9, 12.

3. Pijatok blong haenem o hae posisen. Taem Baebol i yusum tok ya “heven” blong minim hae posisen, klosap oltaem i joen wetem paoa blong rul. Long hae posisen ya i gat olgeta olsem:

   • Jehova God, King we i gat olgeta paoa.—2 Kronikel 32:20; Luk 15:21, futnot.

   • Kingdom blong God, hemia gavman we bambae i tekem ples blong ol gavman blong man. Baebol i tokbaot Kingdom ya se “niufala heven.”—Aesea 65:17; 66:22; 2 Pita 3:13.b

?Heven i olsem wanem?

Long ples blong ol spirit, oli bisi gud long wok blong olgeta. I gat plante handred milian spirit we oli “stap mekem samting we [Jehova] i wantem.”—Ol Sam 103:20, 21; Daniel 7:10.

Baebol i talem se long heven, laet i saen we i saen.

Bigfala tingting we Baebol i givim long saed blong heven, se hem i wan ples we i fulap long glori blong God mo i mekem ol man oli fraet. (Esikel 43:2, 3) I no posibol blong ol man oli kasem save fulwan long heven, yumi no naf blong kasem save long ples we ol spirit oli stap long hem.
