Will You See Your Pets in Heaven?

I truly believe with all of my heart that you will see your precious pet again in heaven. I really do. But what does the Word of God say about animals in heaven? After Sappy passed away, my spirit needed to know. Because I'm a Christian, I went to my Bible and started searching scriptures. I prayed a lot before diving into His devine Word and God led me to several scriptures in the Bible.

If I didn't trust in God's Word and believe in my heart that our Lord truly has a plan for our pets, I wouldn't be leading the Sappy Pet Loss/Grief Support Group of San Antonio, or hosting this Blog site with this information and research.

First of all, animals are without sin, therefore, they will be restored, not redeemed. Only humans need redemption and that's the difference between animals and humans. People were created in the likeness of God and animals were created for man. People have dominion over the animals. So, the bottom line is that God has called you and me to be good stewards of the animal kingdom. Most of you reading this blog page have been very good stewards of your precious pets, that's why it hurts so deeply to lose them. You've done good! You're taken good care of your fur baby and friend. Read the following Bible verses. I hope they bring you some comfort, like they did for me. The Lord Jesus Christ made it possible for us to someday see our precious pets again. Animals are innocent and sinless. We're the ones who need forgiveness, redemption for eternal life in heaven. I know without a doubt that my Sappy is in heaven and I've made sure that I will get there to see him again too.

Genesis : 9, 13-17 "I have set My rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between Me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth." So God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant I have established between Me and all life on the earth."
Revelation 5:13 "And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and ALL that are in them, hear I saying, "Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the lamb forever and ever."
Matthew 10:29 "Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father."
Genesis : 9, 13-17 "The same fate awaits man and animals alike."
Ecclesiastes 3:18-21 "I decided that God is testing us, to show us that we are no better than animals. After all, the same fate awaits man and animals alike. One dies just like the other. They are the same kind of creature. A human being is no better off than an animal, because life has no meaning for either. They are both going to the same place -- the dust. They both came from it; they will both go back to it. How can anyone be sure that a man's spirit goes upward while an animal's spirit goes down into the ground?"
Job 12:9-10 "Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this? In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind."
Animals are Innocent." Romans 8:21-22 "Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now."
Genesis 9:8-16 "Thus also said God to Noah and to his sons with him, behold, I establish my covenant with you and with your seed after you; And with every living soul that is with you, as well in all birds as in cattle and beasts of the earth, that are come forth out of the ark, I will establish my covenant with you, and all flesh shall be no more destroyed with the waters of a flood. This is the sign of the covenant which I give between me and you, and to every living soul that is with you, for perpetual generations. And I will remember my covenant with you, and with every living soul that beareth flesh: and there shall no more be waters of a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the clouds, and I shall see it, and shall remember the everlasting covenant that was made between God and every living soul of all flesh which is upon the earth."
Revelations19:11 "Then I saw Heaven opened, and behold, a white horse."
Proverbs 12:10 "A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal."
Psalms 50:10-11 "Every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are mine."
Job 12:7-10 "Ask the animals, and they will teach you."
Revelation 5:8-13 "All creatures recognize Jesus as the Savior of the world and praise God right along with redeemed men."
Psalm 145:-9-10,13,15-21 "Though all creatures are subject to man's cruelty, God loves all His creation and has made plans for all His children and the lesser creatures to enjoy His eternal Kingdom."
Romans 8:19 "The lesser creatures await Christ's return to redeem the sons of God so they, too, will be released from physical death to eternal life."
Revelation 5:13 "And every creature which is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying. Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever."
Romans 8:21-22 "Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now."

We might learn something from the amazing reports of people who have had near-death experiences. Many report being reunited with their beloved pets. Check out some of their quotes at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7d3NPhg5OIA

I just lost my little Yorkie Pips. I have been having such a difficult time with so many questions. Thank you so much for your faith and this website. I am going to save it as a favorite to come back to again when I have doubts. Pips was my fur baby. I love him so much and can't wait to hold him again in Heaven. Thank you for being a vehicle for God to speak to my troubled soul.
