I for the longest time was at the opinion that our pets for example would not be in the kingdom because they could not receive the gift of Messiah or so I was taught.
When I started to look into Hebrew the term Nefesh came up ALOT, but also directed to animals. It made me think differently. Also animals are innocent as we know, so have no Iniquity and would not need to give of salvation? I am confident that in the kingdom YAHUAH has the ability and is the loving Elohim who would allow us to have our pets again just because he can. I also don't see any proof from scripture to show that it's a concrete no. I am optimistic that I will be with our dogs in the kingdom because of the love YAHUAH allows us to have for them and how much he loves us.
There R a lot of references to Animals in Heaven, were able 2 speak prior 2 the fall and I hope so as well.
"heaven" is really the new jerusalem or the restored garden of eden which we know for sure animals were in the garden
Remember that Jude talks about how the stars and angels will be judged on that day, so if the hosts of heaven and the luminaries are to be judged is it far fetched to think the animals will too?
Hummm.... I read of the Animals in Heaven (new Jerusalem and then in Heaven after the 1k yrs on earth?), Lucifer & his Angels being tossed into the Lake of Fire & then heard about the Luminaries being Judged; I couldn't scientifically comprehend how a Luminary could transgress (let me know Ur thoughts) and now I will have 2 contemplate Animals? Seriously Interesting contemplation Josh... Will the rabbit that chewed the brake lines on my trailer face Judgement? Deep... Did they have a conscious before Sin? I hope prior as I would feel guilty now eating a Filet Mignon that had a Conscious!
Well from what I understand the stars are supposed to be set in constellations so these wandering stars, “planets” are sinning by doing their own thing. Idk what YHWH could have commanded of the animals but I know Enoch talks about the laws for the sun and moon. ever has its laws from YHWH it seems.
