What does billy graham say about heaven

He says the heavenly city has four sides, each with three gates, corresponding to the 12 tribes of Israel. Then he mentions 12 huge foundation stones, which correspond to the 12 apostles. After this, John says the heavenly city is a perfect cube, each side being 12,000 stadia, or 1,400 miles.

Billy Graham chose one of his favorite Scripture verses from the Bible to be placed on his grave marker. John 14:6 reads, "Jesus answered, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. '"

It is primarily God's dwelling place in the biblical tradition: a parallel realm where everything operates according to God's will. Heaven is a place of peace, love, community, and worship, where God is surrounded by a heavenly court and other heavenly beings.

Graham died Wednesday at the age of 99 in his home in Montreat, N.C. When Graham preached, he said that death was, of course, inevitable. As no one knew when Christ would return, he said, everyone should think instead about the sure thing they did know: the certainty of their own death.
