Heaven will be a place of intense, glorious activity, not an idle, boring existence.
Les Feldick consistently teaches that heaven will not involve sitting on clouds and strumming harps. Instead, it will be an extension of the kingdom economy on a new earth, filled with tremendous production, activity, and responsibility. Believers will be busy and enjoy pleasures as God defines them, even ruling with Christ for eternity.
Revelation 21:1 — This verse directly describes the new heaven and new earth that Les identifies as the eternal abode of believers.
In Revelation 21:1, John writes: "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea." This verse reveals that the eternal dwelling place will be a new heaven and a new earth, indicating a tangible, renewed creation. Psalm 16:11 also says: "Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore." This points to eternal joy and unending pleasure in God's presence.
Les Feldick teaches that heaven will be a place of intense activity, not idleness. He repeatedly states that we will not sit on clouds strumming harps or doing nothing. Instead, heaven will be an extension of the kingdom economy on a new earth, with tremendous production, population, and activity. Believers will have responsibilities and be busy, and for the Body of Christ, this includes ruling with Christ in the heavenlies, unhindered by time and space. The new earth will be the abode of all believers, and the eternal state will be a viable social existence on planet earth, full of pleasures as God defines them.
Les directly addresses the common misconception that heaven is boring. He says, "we're not going to sit someplace on a cloud and strum a harp with nothing to do" (Clip 3). Instead, we'll be "so busy" with "tremendous activity" that is "glorious beyond our comprehension" (Clip 1). He uses illustrations like fishing, hunting, and football to show there will be something even better than our greatest earthly enjoyments (Clip 1).
Les teaches that heaven will not be some ethereal, foggy place. He says, "Heaven is going to be on this earth," and after the millennium and the destruction of the old earth, there will be a new heaven and a new earth. The eternal abode will be an "earth-type situation" and a "viable social existence on planet earth" (Clip 6).
Believers will be "busy as you can be" and "there's going to be all kinds of things to enjoy" (Clip 5). For the Body of Christ, Les says we will be "heavenly" and have "responsibilities throughout all of God's new creation," ruling with Christ in the heavenlies for eternity, not limited by time or space (Clip 7). This is a life of meaningful activity and responsibility, with pleasures as God defines them (Clip 5).

them. Now, that's another teaching that is so abroad amongst most of our Christendom, Catholic and Protestant as well, that when Israel rejected their Messiah and crucified him, that God did away with all these promises of Israel and gave them to the new Israel, the church. Well, that's man's idea. That is not what the book teaches.
Heaven as Intense Activity
Les says heaven will be a place of intense activity, busy and glorious beyond comprehension, with something better than our best earthly joys.

Heaven is going to be a place of intense activity. We're going to be so busy. Now, you know, idle mind is the devil's workshop, so God's not going to have anything to do with idleness. We're going to be busy. We're going to have tremendous activity, and it's going to be glorious beyond our comprehension. Never lose sight of that.
