ARE THERE ANIMALS IN HEAVEN?
MOST PET OWNERS WANT TO KNOW ... DO OUR PETS GO TO HEAVEN?
This topic is in the minds and hearts of many souls ...
I am certain that many pet owners probably wanna know if there truly are animals in Heaven.
|
Proverbs 12:10
A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast:
but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. |
So let's do a lil research in
God's Word together, shall we?
ARE THERE ANIMALS IN HEAVEN BIBLE VERSE TRUTH FROM SCRIPTURE.
To
find the answer we seek, we will break the question down
into two parts:
ONE
... Are there animals in Heaven?
TWO ... Are animals on earth able to be taken to Heaven when
they die?
Let's
look into ...
ARE THERE ANIMALS IN HEAVEN TRUTH ...

Revelation 4:6-8
And before the throne there was a sea of glass like
unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and
round about the throne, were
four beasts
full of eyes before and behind. And the first beast
was like a
lion,
and the second beast like a
calf,
and the third beast had a face as a man, and the
fourth beast was like a
flying eagle.
And the four beasts had each of them six wings about
him; and they were full of eyes within: and they
rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy,
LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to
come. |
This ones suggests it as well ...
|
Revelation 5:13-14
And
every creature which is in Heaven,
and on the Earth, and under the Earth, and such as
are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I
saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power,
be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto
the Lamb for ever and ever. And the four beasts
said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down
and worshipped Him that liveth for ever and ever. |
There are Spiritual
horses.
|
2 Kings 2:11
And it came to pass, as they still went on, and
talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of
fire, and
horses of fire,
and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by
a whirlwind into Heaven. |
Jesus and His saints ride horses from Heaven ...
|
Revelation 19:11
And I saw Heaven opened, and behold a
white horse;
and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and
True, and in righteousness He doth judge and make
war. |
|
Revelation 19:14
And the armies which were in Heaven followed Him upon
white horses,
clothed in fine linen, white and clean. |
Sounds like there ARE animals in Heaven ...
Question becomes were these animals that ARE in Heaven,
created as Spiritual animals and/or can animals die and be
taken to Heaven?
In other words ... Does God offer SALVATION to animals?
CAN
ANIMALS BE SAVED AND GO TO HEAVEN?
The
first
thing that comes to mind, when one ponders on animals being
"saved" and the Bible is ... Noah's Ark.
We all know that God saved man
and beast ...
|
Genesis 7:7-9
And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his
sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the
waters of the flood.
Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and
of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the
earth, There went in two and two unto Noah into the
ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded
Noah. |
Just
a lil tidbit ...
Most were
raised or taught to believe that there were only 2 of EVERY
animal on Noah's Ark.
BUT ... The TRUTH is there were 7 of all "clean" animals
and 2 of other animals.
|
Genesis 7:2-3
Of every clean beast
thou shalt take to thee
by sevens,
the male and his female: and of
beasts that are not
clean by
two,
the male and his female. Of
fowls also of the air
by sevens,
the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the
face of all the earth. |
Back to the study ...
ARE THERE ANIMALS IN HEAVEN BIBLE VERSES ANSWERS
This desire for God to save man
and beast is echoed in Psalms ...
|
Psalms 36:6
Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy
judgments are a great deep: O LORD,
thou preservest man and beast. |
After
the great flood ... Noah, and his family and the animals
were allowed to leave the Ark and God made a covenant with
man AND every living CREATURE.
|
Genesis 9:9-17
And I, behold, I
establish my covenant
with you, and with your seed after you;
And with every living creature
that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of
every beast of the Earth with you; from all that go
out of the ark, to every beast of the Earth. And I
will establish my covenant with you, neither shall
all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a
flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to
destroy the Earth. And God said, This is the token
of the covenant which I make between me and you and
every living creature that is with you, for
perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud,
and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me
and the Earth. And it shall come to pass, when I
bring a cloud over the Earth, that the bow shall be
seen in the cloud:
And I will remember my covenant, which is between me
and you and every living creature of all flesh;
and the waters shall no more become a flood to
destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the
cloud; and I will look upon it, that
I may remember the everlasting covenant between God
and every living creature
of all flesh that is upon the Earth. And God said
unto Noah,
This is the token of the covenant, which I have
established between me and all flesh that is upon
the Earth. |
So, God DOES
make Covenants with man AND beast.
In fact, many
of God's laws seem to apply to both.
|
Exodus 13:2
Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth
the womb among the children of Israel,
both of man and of beast:
it is mine. |
|
Exodus 19:12-13
And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about,
saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up
into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever
toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:
There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall
surely be stoned, or shot through;
whether it be beast or man,
it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long,
they shall come up to the mount. |
|
Exodus 20:8-11
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days
shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the
seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in
it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son,
nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy
maidservant,
nor thy cattle,
nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in
six days the LORD made Heaven and Earth, the sea,
and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:
wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and
hallowed it. |
|
Leviticus 27:28
Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall
devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, both of
man and beast,
and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or
redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the
LORD. |
|
Jeremiah 7:20
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger
and my fury shall be poured out upon this place,
upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the
field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it
shall burn, and shall not be quenched. |
So, we see that laws, promises, punishments and even holy
days like the Sabbath applies to man and beast.
And
why not ... Are animals not His creation as well?
|
Genesis 2:19
And out of the ground the LORD
God formed every beast
of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought
them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and
whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that
was the name thereof. |
Do
these creatures not know their creator and does He not know
them?
|
Job 12:7-10
But
ask now the beasts,
and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air,
and they shall tell thee: Or speak to the Earth, and
it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall
declare unto thee. Who knoweth not in all these that
the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and
the breath of all mankind. |
|
Hebrews 4:13
Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in
His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto
the eyes of Him with whom we have to do. |
Do the
beasts of the earth not wait upon and even trust the Lord to
provide for them, as man does?
|
Psalms 104:14
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb
for the service of man: that He may bring forth food
out of the Earth ... |
|
Psalms 104:24-30
O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast
thou made them all: the Earth is full of thy riches.
So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things
creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom
thou hast made to play therein.
These wait all upon thee;
that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
That thou givest them they gather: thou openest
thine hand, they are filled with good. Thou hidest
thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their
breath, they die, and return to their dust. Thou
sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created: and thou
renewest the face of the Earth. |
|
Matthew 6:26
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither
do they reap, nor gather into barns;
yet your Heavenly Father feedeth them.
Are ye not much better than they? |
Ok ... But what about
when the animals die ... Can they go to Heaven?
ARE THERE ANIMALS IN HEAVEN BIBLE SCRIPTURE REVEALS
|
Psalms 49:12
Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not:
he is like the beasts that perish. |
|
Ecclesiastes 3:18-21
I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons
of men, that God might manifest them, and that they
might see that they themselves are beasts. For that
which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts;
even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so
dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so
that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for
all is vanity.
All go unto one place;
all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and
the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the
Earth?
|
Even
during the End Times there will be animals on Earth that
were SAVED and are alive during 1000 years of Peace known as
the Millennium.
|
Isaiah 11:6-9
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the
leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf
and the young lion and the fatling together;
and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and
the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down
together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the
asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the
cockatrice' den.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy
mountain: for the Earth shall be full of the
knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. |
Now,
what of this Scripture?
|
Mark 16:15
And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the Gospel to
every creature. |
Should
we be talking about Jesus to our pets? Or just teaching em
tricks?
Despite the answer ... It would be good practice ;)
|
Colossians 1:15-17
Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn
of every creature: For by Him were all things created,
that are in Heaven, and that are in Earth, visible
and invisible, whether they be thrones, or
dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things
were created by Him, and for Him: And He is before
all things, and by Him all things consist. |
|
Ephesians 1:10
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times He
might gather together in one all things in Christ,
both which are in Heaven, and which are on Earth;
even in Him ... |
Do our
pets go to Heaven?
What do you think?
