GEOLOGY OF HEAVEN
A learned colleague objected to my topic, arguing that “since geology is the study of the earth, why would someone be studying the earth of heaven?” so I want to begin this piece with an apology to the reader, for the contrasting nature of our topic. It is for want of a better vehicle to convey the meaning of our discussion, besides I have of terms like “geology of Nigeria” so I don’t think my offense is all that unforgivable.
It is amazing what discoveries geologist have made by studying the earth. The vast resources in our natural environment as revealed by geologic inquisition, has helped mankind in so many ways. But man has an infinitesimal fraction of eternity to spend on earth, before he must depart to the great beyond- man’s eternal home. It becomes necessary to have a geologic picture of heaven, so that we do not get so overwhelmed with momentary beauty of the earth and so trade heaven for it- such costly venture that will only bring an unfathomably great loss to the trader. Hence we briefly discuss the climate, fluvial system, oceanography and mineralogy of heaven.

CLIMATE OF HEAVEN
The major element of climate is temperature as provided by the sun. Other elements of climate attain relevance from the degree of sunlight they receive. The seasons are classified into summer, spring, winter and autumn on basis of the varying sun intensity all year round. The latitudinal division of the earth into temperate, polar and equatorial climate is also on this basis.
In heaven there is no sun (Rev21:23); this should give us some repose, as billions is being spent to fight ozone layer depletion globally, but for the ozone, we would have all been roasted by the sun. Another important fact that the absence of the sun present is that there would be no weathering. Weathering is defined as the mechanical breakdown and the chemical disintegration of rocks; but where there is no sun, the water cycle is tempered with as there would be no evaporation and consequently no precipitation. This should come as a relief, as it is not just the rock that weather, but humans weather too, and that is why they age. A land devoid of decadence should be a land most craved and sorted after…..heaven is that land.

FLUVIAL SYSTEM OF HEAVEN
The occurrence of rivers on the earth is dependent on several factors. First there has to be precipitation, which will result in run-off and as this water find its way to relatively low land area (the upland forming the catchment areas, they create channels that are linked for ease of flow, the major channels form the stream/river while the smaller channel form the tributaries. Owing to the processes that lead to the formation of the river, the rivers on earth are never pure, because as the water run-off on the surface, it carries sediment, which are the end product of weathering in various forms, such as suspension, solution and saltation.
The rivers in heaven are pure rivers that are as crystals in their clarity. (Rev22:1-3). This is expected because there are no weathering and thus no dissolved materials in the water. The only nutrient carried by this river is “Life” and the plant that grow around the river are called “tree of life” they bear twelve fruit that are for the healing of the nations…….no wonder they don’t die in heaven

OCEANOGRAPHY OF HEAVEN
In heave there are no seas (Rev21:1). This may not come as good news to our brothers that are making their millions from off-shore oil exploration. The oceans occupy over 70% of the earth’s total surface area, yet gives less than 10% benefit to mankind…..such waste. The water that fill the ocean are not good for consumption, besides it separate us one from another, but from the rifting of the continental plates, Africa and south America would have been one big land mass, enjoying the same level of civilization. There will be no form of discrimination in heaven amongst the inhabitance , no third world nation, no racial barrier….. All men are equal.



Mineralogy of heaven
Mineral resources are naturally occurring substance of economic value. Usually, the harder it is to come by a given mineral, the higher its economic value. Well the rarest of all precious metals on earth are nothing near precious in heaven. The very lithosphere of heaven is made of gold. Gold so high in quality that no karat value can qualify it. Gold so pure, it is as clear as glass (Rev21:18).
The building stone for the engineering construction work in heaven are the very rarest gemstone on earth. The walls are made of jasper, the foundation stone are jasper, sapphire, chalcedony, emerald, sardonyx, sardius, chrystolyte, beryl, topaz, chrysoprasus, jacinth, and amethyst (Rev21:19-20). The gates are made of pearls……such and unimaginable beauty.

Finally, as I attempt to bring this discussion to a close; we have had relation that are relatively wealthy and have built for themselves edifice as residential structures, but have put a wall about it, with scary breeds of dogs and heavily armed security personnel and protocols that make us feel plainly unwelcomed to their home. This is not the case with the POSSESSOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH, He has sent an invitation to every one of us, to come and dwell eternally in this heavenly city, that is pass imagining in beauty, please I enjoin you to take HIS invitation. Do not cling to the passing beauty of the world at your own peril……….GOD bless you.

Is that real gold or spiritual gold?

all these dreamy assumptions about heaven sha... Now,another question that u should go and ponder on is the location of the said heaven,considering the fact that no one has ever found its location... Thank you
