Does comparing explored London to unexplored Tokyo throw light on unknown Tokyo? And what about heaven?

These Lonely Planet guide-books are really full of practical and graphical information about far-away places.  Even so, for my life, I can’t get my head around Tokyo.

So I revert to the London we know – and wonder about the Tokyo we don’t know.  One example:  is Roppongi Hills in Tokyo anything like a cross between the Canary Wharf and the West End shopping centres in London?

Of course there’s no comparison! 

And so we think about heaven in terms of the known:  will our Michael be surfing in heaven?

Of course there’s no comparison!

Till then, like the Lonely Planet's introductory information for the traveller, so the Bible throws light on teh reality of heaven and gives us quite a lot of clues  – to whet the appetite and spur us on.

LONDON

  

TOKYO

My hope is that this short post

will send us to the Word of God

to get more  informed and more excited about heaven. 

A little more about Tokyo and heaven....
