Have you ever wondered what heaven is like? If you have received Christ's gift of redemption, you have an amazing journey ahead of you. Whether by rapture or death, you're going to heaven! Would you like to know more about that amazing destination? How about a preview?

On this week's Hal Lindsey Presents, we look through an open door into heaven itself. What we will see there is overwhelming and amazing. It will encourage you in every area of your life, and it will leave you in awe.

Our study of Revelation this week takes us deeper into chapter four - deeper into heaven. In verse one, John saw an open door into heaven. Then he was told, "Come up here!" and he was lifted from earth into heaven. He left a record of his visit! He wrote down for us what he saw.

John was not the first person on earth to get a glimpse into heaven. Just before he was stoned to death, God allowed Stephen to see into heaven. Acts 7:55 says, "Being full of the Holy Spirit, he gazed intently into heaven and saw the glory of God."

John, too, saw the glory of God. In heaven, everything centers around God and His throne. John didn't try to describe God's form. Instead, he spoke of God's splendor. They say a great actor has "presence." He walks onto the stage and every eye focuses on him. Well let me tell you, no human actor ever had presence like the Presence we will see in heaven! It will be the presence and glory of God radiating forth in power and majesty!

The word "revelation" is a translation of the Greek word, "apokalupsis." That's where we get the word "apocalypse." These days, people have come to think of an apocalypse as a "huge catastrophe." It really doesn't mean that at all. It means disclosure. It has to do with revealing, opening a curtain or, in this case, a door. The word "revelation" is a great English translation. And it makes a perfect title for a book that reveals so many things, especially about Jesus.

In chapter 4, we see heaven beginning to be revealed. And the dominate feature there is an even more jaw-dropping revelation - a glimpse at the glory and majesty of God Almighty.
