Joys and Activities in Heaven

No. 158

"Thus the Old Testament prophecies of the glories and blessedness that should attend the coming of the Messiah, I believe, not only aimed at the glory that should be brought to the church on earth by it, but also to that part of the church that was in heaven; that the church of Israel, those same saints to whom those promises were given, do receive them in heaven. I believe also that it greatly contributed to the happiness of the saints in heaven, to see the success of the gospel after Christ's ascension, and its conquering the Roman empire; and that they greatly rejoiced at the reformation from popery, and will exceedingly rejoice at the fall of Antichrist and the conversion of the world to Christianity (these things seem clear to me by many passages in the Revelation); and that their joy is increasing and will be increasing, as God gradually in his providence unveils his glory till the last day." - WJE 13:445

Edwards notes in "Miscellanies," no. 137 that the saints will spend their time singing God's praises or sharing their thoughts to God and Christ, as well as to one another, and traveling from one region of heaven to another to see the splendor of God shining in different regions of it.
