A Last Days Word For Writers (And For Non Writers Too)

Heaven's Physical Featurama Part 2 | Last Days Prophetic Words

Walls & Foundations - The Architecture of Hope

The Bible does not describe Heaven as a vague cloudscape or a distant glow on the horizon. Instead, it gives us structure. Shape. Texture. Walls. Gates. Foundations. Streets. It is as if God wanted us to know that eternity is not an abstract dream but a prepared place, built with intention and meaning.

In Revelation, John sees a city with great, high walls made of jasper. Walls in our world often speak of fear or exclusion, but Heaven’s walls tell a different story. They are not built to keep the faithful in or to keep God out. They stand as a declaration that nothing unclean, cruel, or broken will ever cross that boundary again. The walls represent protection, holiness, and separation from anything impure (Revelation 21:27). It also shows that entry is purposeful and intentional.

The walls of Heaven are not barriers of suspicion but borders of safety. They say, “Here, nothing will hurt you anymore.” A great example of how SAFETY is part of His desire for us is found in Song of Songs 4:8, where He pens:

Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, come with me from Lebanon. Descend from the crest of Amana from the top of Senir, the summit of Hermon, from the lions’ dens and the mountain haunts of leopards.

Heaven Built Upon Rocks

Beneath the walls of Heaven are twelve foundations, each decorated with precious stones and named after the apostles. The foundations are decorated with twelve precious stones, including: Jasper, Sapphire, Chalcedony, Emerald, Sardonyx, Carnelian, Chrysolite, Beryl, Topaz, Turquoise, Jacinth and Amethyst. The jewels suggest beauty, permanence, and divine craftsmanship.

Foundations are what hold everything steady. They are rarely seen, but everything depends on them. In Heaven, the very base of the city reminds us that our eternal home is built on the testimony of those who walked with Jesus, suffered for Him, and carried His message into the world. The jewels are not there merely for beauty. They are a reminder that what God builds is both strong and radiant. Truth is not dull. Faith is not gray. The foundation of Heaven glimmers.

The city itself is shaped like a perfect cube, equal in length, width, and height. This is the same shape as the Holy of Holies in the Old Testament temple, the place where God’s presence dwelled.

This message is truly simple, yet breathtaking: in eternity, the whole city is the Holy of Holies. There is no small room for God’s presence anymore. His glory fills everything. Heaven is not just where God lives but where we live with Him, if you know Him and love Him.

Heaven’s Gates & Highways

Around the city are twelve gates, each made from a single pearl. There are three gates on each side: East, North, South, and West.

The gates carry the names of the tribes of Israel, and angels stand watch beside them. Yet Scripture tells us something interesting: the gates will never shut. (Revelation 21:25) In earthly cities, gates close at night for protection. In Heaven, there is no night, no threat, no fear. The gates will remain open, a symbol of peace, welcome, and complete redemption.

What does this mean when those of us who have been there experienced a closed gate? Well, note the verse says they will be open. Our Lord constructs barriers as needed. In my case, He popped down two kaleidoscope panels that were quite distracting in their beauty and the pictures they created. Other visitors describe a cloud in the way, or a wall or barrier. But it sounds like once we are all there inside and safe, those gates will remain open.

Let’s talk about pearls. A pearl is formed through suffering, created when an oyster covers an irritant with layer after layer of beauty. The entrance to Heaven is a reminder that redemption often grows out of pain, and that Christ’s suffering opened the way.

Inside the city runs great streets of pure gold, clear as glass. Gold on earth is hoarded, guarded, locked in vaults. In Heaven, it lies beneath our feet. What humanity prized most becomes pavement in the presence of God. The things we chase here are not the treasures that last.

Many visitors to Heaven who returned to us saw not just clear streets, but clear mansions, as clear gold is the most pure gold of all.

River of the Water of Life & Water, Water, Water

Down the center of that golden street flows the river of the water of life, bright and clear, coming from the throne of God and the Lamb. Many accounts of visitors talk about the water—not just rivers but lakes. I am looking forward to receiving Gabe Poroit’s Book (he also endorsed 'Routed to Heaven’) because he saw great waves, which made me so happy to hear! I’m a beach gal! For those of you who feel the scriptures say that there is no sea, it appears that many theologians agree that this is not about a body of water, but more how they saw the sea in the first century—a living force of chaos.

The River of Life: Revelation 22:1 explicitly mentions a “pure river of water of life” flowing from the throne of God.

The Sea of Glass: Revelation 4:6 describes a “sea of glass, clear as crystal” before the throne. This is not a raging ocean, but a calm, tranquil, solidified body of water, indicating total peace.

Perfected Nature: The “new earth” will likely have water that is perfect, safe, and beautiful, without the capacity to harm, destroy, or separate. ¹

Many accounts now indicate that baptisms occur in that Water of the River of Life. In addition, people happily swim and splash, and can breathe while underwater. What fun!

Tree of Life

On either side of the River (which is miles long, btw) grows the tree of life, bearing fruit in every season. This indicates the restoration of Eden, not as a fragile garden that can be lost, but as a thriving, eternal reality. Life flows freely. Nothing withers. Nothing dies. Not even the blades of soft, velvet grass.

The Messages For Us

Every part of Heaven’s design carries a message. The walls say, “You are safe.”
The foundations say, “You are held by truth.”
The gates say, “You are welcome.”
The streets say, “What you valued on earth is not your true treasure.”
The river says, “Life flows from God alone.”
The trees say, “What was lost has been restored.”

Heaven is not just beautiful architecture. It is theology in stone, gold, and light. It is a city that preaches without words, where every surface tells the story of redemption.

The architecture of Heaven is the architecture of hope. A place where safety replaces fear. Where permanence replaces uncertainty. Where beauty replaces sorrow.

And where God Himself becomes the center of everything.

Last Days Message For Writers

This is from my friend Lynn. I have known her (in person) for many years and she attends my home church on the coast. She is a deep pray-er and walks very close to Him. Yes, I trust her words (He has revealed something similar to me, more on that later) and I thought that it might encourage you too.

This morning as I awoke, I had a picture in my mind: a vision for Christian Writers
I was at a large gathering in an auditorium.
Jesus appeared on the stage. Everything else blurred from view. He had a loving smile on His face.
We all fell on our faces.
He said:

I have commissioned you with My Words. Let go of the need to perform, measure up, and compete. Let go of human perfectionism.
Write WHAT I tell you, WHEN I tell you, HOW I tell you, WHY I tell you, and TO WHOM I tell you.
It is the Last Days. Please be about Your Father’s Business.
And now I stretch forth my sceptor and grant you the words, the missions, the anointing, the power, the open doors to go through and accomplish all that I have in My mind for you to do. Go into all the world and preach the gospel through your written words and My Voice, and lo, I will be with you always.
