Addressing the OP. horses, and their riders are judgment. example, the four hoeseman in chapter 6 of Revelation are found in
In Ezekiel 14:21. God give 4 judgments,
1.the sword,
2.the famine,
3.the noisome beast
4.the pestilence

Just read, Ezekiel 14:12-20 which line up with the riders in chapter 6 of revelation. this is symbolic.

spirit in heaven have no need for a phyical horse, it's only symbolic. just as in the vision a throne is set in heave, who's sitting? one might say the hight priest Jesus, well the sitting of a Priest symbolize he is finish from his work. vs a standing one on EARTH. and a throne symbolize "POWER" and "Authority".

heaven is spiritual. who need to ride an actual horse when just by thinking one can be instantly there. maybe on earth?...... the Lord Jesus did eat some fish. but in the NEW HEAVENS and the New EARTH there will be no more sea after it give up the dead in it. Revelation 21:1 "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea". if literal here, then no more fishes. Revelation 20:13 "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works".

if this is the literal sea, then the speaker may have erred when he said the "fish" in the waters.

but most of the animals, in Revelation are symbolic. but if God wants animals in heaven who am I to say other wise. for God can do whatever he wants.

I am all for having animals in 'heaven.'

If their souls came from God ( all life comes from Him) then why would those souls not go back into Him?

I have had some wonderful dogs , I am sure they were half human.

From God we came, and to God we will return.

Spirits come from God, not souls.

I've had some great pets over the years as well. Really hurt to loosen.

So on one hand I would not mind seeing their. On the other hand they do not have spirits.

So it is in God's hands.

We lost our baby Lexie, a Chinese Pug, on July 7, 2017. We can’t have kids, so she was our baby. We had her put to sleep due to complications from DKA. I cried until my eyes were sore, and I still cry over her from time to time. TBS, I don’t believe pets will be with us, but wouldn’t mind being wrong and seeing her there.

But the moment I think God is not enough to make me happy, then I lost all that heaven means to believers.

This topic has always been a puzzle for me. I have never landed on a firm answer.

I hope there is and have had some pets over the years I truly loved.

I found this video challenging.

How do you feel on this subject?


As much of an animal lover I am, and I most surely am an animal lover (I have 3 mini schnauzers lol- who have and still do bring me such simple joy. I have ALWAYS wondered if my past pets would be with us but then I read things like:

Isaiah 65:17
"See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. "
And it seems the former "things" will be forgotten. Dunno, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For those who truly need to know, I give you the words I received, after the long drive home from the vet, having my dog put down after almost 17 years. "Fear not my son Bobby is with Me." How sure am I of this? 100 percent sure.

I like that :)

So, Did the Lord say "Fear not ,my son Bobby is with me?"
Or, "Fear not my son, Bobby is with me?" :)

OP --- Pets in Eternity?

Animals have flesh.
Animals have Gods breath of life.
Thus I believe Animals have a natural flesh blood life and have have a spiritual soul, with Gods breath of life, and shall occupy the new Earth along with men Converted in Christ.

Gen 7
[15] And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.

Glory to God,
Taken

I have thought a lot about this question.

I believe that our pets will be with us in eternity. My reasoning is too long to post here, but you can read it at this link;

Do our pets go to heaven?
Loved that story ♥

So, Did the Lord say "Fear not ,my son Bobby is with me?"
Or, "Fear not my son, Bobby is with me?" :)

It was "Fear not (A pause) My son(a longer pause) Bobby is with me" Many times He pauses with His words. I also felt that Bobby and the others had someone assigned for that task.
