Song: When we all get to heaven

Sing the wondrous love of Jesus,
sing his mercy and his grace;
in the mansions bright and blessed
he'll prepare for us a place.

When we all get to heaven,
what a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus
we'll sing and shout the victory.

One should not say "That person went to heaven" or "That person is going to hell".

Rather, one should say "My hope is heaven" where the Greek hope means a high expectation or "When I get to heaven, I expect to see that person there.".

In computational program correctness theory, "when" does not imply that one will actually get there. That is, "when the program stops" does not mean the program will actually stop. A useful analogy is the distinction between partial correctness and total correctness.

All

Greek: επειτα ημεις οι ζωντες οι περιλειπομενοι αμα συν αυτοις αρπαγησομεθα εν νεφελαις εις απαντησιν του κυριου εις αερα και ουτως παντοτε συν κυριω εσομεθα

Emily Wilson (1865-1942) wrote the tune HEAVEN used for the melody.

While we walk the pilgrim pathway
clouds will overspread the sky,
but when traveling days are over,
not a shadow, not a sigh.

When we all get to heaven,
what a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus
we'll sing and shout the victory.

The English word "pilgrim" and comes from the Middle English word "pilegrim" ≈ "pilgrim" which comes, through French, from the Latin word "peregrinus" ≈ "foreigner" from "peregre" ≈ "abroad" as in "beyond the surrounding land".

In many cases, the KJV (King James Version) appears to be influenced by the Latin word for "stranger" or "foreigner". A "pilgrimage" is, thus, a journey made to a place where one would be a "stranger" or "foreigner".

1 Peter 2:11 … I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; [kjv]

αγαπητοι παρακαλω ως παροικους και παρεπιδημους απεχεσθαι των σαρκικων επιθυμιων αιτινες στρατευονται κατα της ψυχης [gnt]

… advenas et peregrinos … [v]

Let us then be true and faithful,
trusting, serving every day;
just one glimpse of Him in glory
will the toils of life repay.

When we all get to heaven,
what a day of rejoicing that will be!
When we all see Jesus
we'll sing and shout the victory.

The Bible does not say one will be without hurt or pain.

The reward is not in this life, but in the life eternal.

John 15:19

All

KJV: If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Greek: ει εκ του κοσμου ητε ο κοσμος αν το ιδιον εφιλει οτι δε εκ του κοσμου ουκ εστε αλλ εγω εξελεξαμην υμας εκ του κοσμου δια τουτο μισει υμας ο κοσμος

Be wary of being told that you should get the world to "love" you. According to Jesus, that is not going to happen.
