Tonye-t:

I was in a dream just last nite, in it I saw this group of folks in a pilgrimage sort of, they were all dressed on brown colored garments and traveling to a land. I was amongst them and then i approached one aged looking man and asked him where he thinks we were headed for and he said: ". . .to heaven" and i was like no no I heard heaven has a street made of Gold with pearl gates and the angels are dressed on white and then he beamed a smile but would say nothing.

In my curiosity I created something like a fiasco - trying to tell them we were heading for the wrong side and then i began hearing whispers deep within saying

[list]

[li]When God told the Israelites about the land flowing with milk and honey, did it flow such literally or it was an expression of something else?[/li]
[/list]

. . .I was dumbfounded and then i recalled to myself and realised that this same land of milk and honey in the bible became a land where blood were spilled in war btw the Israelites and their foes. . .this same land has known no peace till date.

[list]
[li]The bible never meant we will be clothed in any such thing as white thus the brown garments I saw, rather the white symbolized the state of our hearts[/li]
[/list]

I have so much to share from this dream but before I do, let me ask : will there be a literal street of Gold in heaven or it is just some paradox sort of? pls share?

. . . . imagine if Israel owned all the land in the middle east without borders, . .

. . . thus, they as it were, sold their birthright!

@ OP

Abeg, share the rest of this dream with us jooo!

nuclearboy:

First, the issue of a land flowing with milk and honey - imagine if Israel owned all the land in the middle east without borders. Consider what we call "Black Gold" today; how it flows non-stop under the ground there! I therefore think it was meant, though not literall, yet again literal.

But the curses of Deuteronomy ended up sticking to them due to them breaking covenants and thus, they as it were, sold their birthright! And so they live in it yet not in it, seeing what ought to have been but not having it!

I think the allegory of heaven being paved with "Gold" also works in the same way. A street is a pathway or road or the "walk" of a man and gold being what it is, the heavenly walk WILL be one filled with treasure (knowledge, joy, peace and possible profiting in other ways), a walk to be looked forward to and which will be envied by any who miss it!

Of course there is literal street of Gold in heaven. It is said that gold is the cheapest material in heaven.
