Has anybody read this book below ? I have talked about this topic about 4 times on this board. But now I find a book that says that they have proof that animals go to heaven. I am still saying it' and I won't come off of it' Earthly Animals Do Not Go To Heaven. The Bible does not say that animals on earth die and go to heaven. Some people will point out The Book Of Revelations' but that don't get it. Because the Bible clearly states that it is for men and women of earth to obtain salvation die and then go to heaven. Many people have put animals on the same level as humans and that bugs me. Don't get me wrong' because I am a animal lover' and always has been. But they are not on par with humans. So whatever this book says it has twisted the Word of God. Animals do not go to heaven. People today will put a animal over a aborted baby' if they had to chose they would chose the dog. Yes Jesus loves His creation and the Bible says do not mistreat them' and they do have souls because they have different personalities but they were denied a spirit in God's own image. So this book is wrong. This book is to make money off of staunch animal lovers who are disillusioned.

Have you ever lost a beloved pet and wondered, "Did they go to heaven, or did they just die and that's it?" This book finally answers the age old question once and for all. Do animals have spirits? Find out God's true relationship with animals, and how He really feels about them. The author shares his divine visions along with scriptural proof, which Jesus reveals and explains to him, concerning God's entire creation. Whether you are a pet lover or not, you will gain a greater understanding of the immense love of Jesus, for all of His creation. After reading this testimony, you will look at love and forgiveness in a whole new light.
 
On the Amazon web site, many people who have read the book reviewed it. The author claims to have had myriad visions, and personal talks with Lord Jesus. One reviewer wrote:

"...many visions and personal talks with Jesus that this author had."
 
Ecclesiastes 3
21 Who knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, which goes down to the earth?
 
"Who knows if the human spirit rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?” Ecclesiastes 3:21 NIV

That's interesting. What exactly does this verse mean? The original Hebrew is:

מי יודע רוח בני
האדם העלה היא
למעלה ורוח הבהמה
הירדת היא למטה
לארץ׃
 
That's interesting. What exactly does this verse mean? The original Hebrew is:

Ecclesiastes 3:21

King James Version (KJV)

21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

In other word the soul of a animal does not leave the earth, it is finished at it's death and does not exist anymore. It all stops right here.
 
Thanks Lewis. That would not prevent God from resurrecting/recreating pets. The Bible does not seem to specify whether people's pets will be on the new earth/new heaven/new Jerusalem, or entirely new animals. I guess we will have to wait to find out. Will be nice in any case.

"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth..." Revelation 21:1a KJV

"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." Isaiah 11:6 KJV

You see the word men not animals. Salvation is for man and woman only

King James Bible
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

King James Bible
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Below says nothing about animals

Why would animals need salvation?

What will be on the new earth?

"And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven." Colossians 1:20 KJV

Does this mean angels were reconciled too?
 
Never read this book, but Animals are Gods creation as he made them and Adam named them. God also gave them his breath of life making them a living soul. An animal knows no sin or that of good and evil so why would they not be in the New Jerusalem with the rest of us that are in Christ. When we die it is that breath of God that goes back to him secured until the day of judgement. What will an animal be judged of.
Not sure about cockroaches, but I would love to pet and play with a Panther in the New Jerusalem.

Genesis 1:20-31; Genesis 7
