Absolutely stunning picture of Orion. I personally believe that the Universe is abundant with life and some probably inhabit planets through out the Orion constellation. As far as Orion being Heaven, we will have to wait and see, when its our time to go.

Your wrong. While others constellations form are just a perspective view from our location, The thing with Orion constellation is that all their stars belong to the same system.

I once knew a high level Freemason and he was extremely interested in Orion and especially Rigel. I don't know if Freemasonry and Orion are connected or he just liked the constellation. Oh, and he told me that's not a sword between his legs.

Good Lord. Not at all. Where did you come up with that?
Dr. Richard Eby was a professor and obstetrician who fell off a second story balcony in Chicago and hit his head and died instantly and found himself in Paradise. When he came back to a bloodless corpse in the hospital morgue, the athiest Doctor refused to believe he was alive and told him to 'shut up and don't give me any of that #' because he knew that Eby had been taken into the hospital as a totally bloodless dead body.
Jesus, where am I?I gasped! Suddenly in a new body in a new place with new life, I was ecstatically joyful: no pain, no tears, no sorrow, no memory.
Instantly, before I could complete my query, that same Voice in a tone of gentle thunder echoed within my head: "Didn’t you read my book?"
Yeshua began His answer: "If you had read My Book you would have known all the answers."
"In fact, everything that My children need to know about how God thinks and works and judges and rewards, either before or after the Cross, is already in My Book. That is why I commanded mankind to ‘engrave My Words upon their hearts,’ and to pass them along from generation to generation. I wanted everyone to hear and know just Who I AM, the Messiah, their one hope of Salvation, their Most High God." I gave up My Spirit to My Father as soon as I announced to the crowd, ‘It is finished!’ Then I was free to prepare Paradise for that repentant thief in Heaven. This is My Home here in the Third Heaven with My saints. You are in Paradise this day!"
Lord, what is Paradise?
To be talking with the Creator of the Universe, mind to mind, in this Paradise, was unspeakably exciting. Questions flooded through my new mind.
"But Jesus," I blurted out, "Tell me your definition of Paradise. It is obvious that I am in Heaven with You because everything is so perfect. Tell me more!"
"My child, didn’t you read My Book? I was so careful to explain that I would prepare for each of you in the heavenly places, an abode with Me. I even arranged for my disciples to watch Me ascend into the heavens, enfolded in My Shekinah Glory cloud. I assigned two angels to meet them there outside of Bethany to reassure them that I would return in like manner. And I will do so!
"Now, My Son, to answer your question: Paradise is a holding tank for the souls who have accepted Me as their Savior simply by faith in My having laid down My life to redeem them from the curse of sin. I prepared a new place for each of them, as I had promised. It is one of My gifts of mercy and grace, that their joy may be full! Here they become one with Me, completing the talents which I gave each one so that each can function as a distinct member in My Body.
Another query burst from my mind to His: "Do You mean, Jesus, that each of Your children in Paradise has a separate place just for his particular enjoyment?"
"Yes, My Son! Didn’t you read in My Book that I would go to prepare a PLACE - not a commune, nor a kibbutz; not a tenement nor a tract house? It would be a place fit for providing the abundant joys and fulfilled dreams and talents of each child, as a new creature, My joint heir! Each person is unlike any other, except that I am in each one, perfecting, teaching, sanctifying. Each of their abodes reflects the perfection of the purposes and promises for which I prepare My people and places!
"I know My sheep, just as they know My Voice. I made them. Heaven is so large that I have unlimited space for each one’s paradise, a place of his own. This is just a tiny portion of Heaven. I have limitless plans. I think of Paradise as My sheepfold; I am its gate!This is your paradise. It is what you could not fashion for yourself, so I did it for you. That was my promise. It is your temporary abode for now!"
I was stunned with excitement. This huge valley of celestial beauty was mine? The perfection of its forests, flowers, meadows and mountains was awesome.
Dr. Richard Eby dies, visits heaven, and returns with a startling message
