Will all of the wild animals be able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven?
Will all of the wild animals be able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven? I would like to think that they're deserving of eternal paradise in Heaven just as much as us humans and all of the tame animals

- Millions of them got into that clown car known as Noah's Ark, so I don't see why not.
- I think so.
- If there was a heaven.
- The lamb will lie down with the lion.
- Nope. No pets allowed. God made them all to be humans' slaves.
- Heaven is going to have lots of mosquitoes.
- If we can they can.
- the Lord and His saints will return from heaven on horses
- an excerpt from the abridged English translation of Tafsir ibn Kathir: Allah will passes judgement between all of the animals that were in the worldly life. He will rectify matters between them with His just wisdom that does not wrong anyone. Even the hornless sheep will be allowed to avenge itself against the sheep with horns. Then, when the judgement between them is finished, He (Allah) will say to them (the animals), "Be dust.'' So they will all become dust.
- "the kingdom of heaven is inside of you" heaven isn't a physical place, but a state of being, as jesus made clear. if i'm wrong, what did he mean by the above quote? he either was serious or joking, i like to think he was serious. he never talked about heaven or hell as places. i think animals are already experiencing the kingdom of heaven, as they are in constant-peace state, and connected with god's will. they don't say to themselves "hmmm should i gather food or instead go kill my buddy?" its an eternal connectedness with god will, in my opinion.
- i don't think animals have souls according to the bible, although i think it would be fair if they got in, they seem pretty soul-ey to me, and if they don't have souls, then obviously the soul dosn't do much for a human, because there are humans that are much less feeling than animals.
- Revelation 21:2. "I, John, saw the holy city New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband." Matthew 5:5. "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." Proverbs 11:31. "The righteous have a taste of their future reward here on earth." What promises does God make to the people who enter His new kingdom? (A) Revelation 21:3. "The Lord in person will live with them." (B) We will never be bored. Psalm 16:11. "Your presence is the fullness of joy, and at your right hand are pleasures forever." (C) There will be no more death, pain, tears, sorrow, tragedy, disappointment, hunger, or thirst. Revelation 7:16; Revelation 21:4; Revelation 22:3; Isaiah 65:23. (D) We will not get tired (Isaiah 40:31) (E) Ever saved person will be physically whole in every way. Isaiah 35:5, 6. "He will open the eyes of the blind and unstop the ears of the deaf. The lame will leap like a deer, and the dumb will shout for joy." (F) Jealousy, fear, hatred, falsehood, envy, impurity, cynicism, filth, worry, and all evil will be forever shut out of God's kingdom. (Revelation 21:8, 27; 22:15) How will the new earth differ from our earth today? (A) Vast seas as we know them will be gone. (Revelation 21:1) (B) The deserts will become gardens (Isaiah 35:1, 2) (C) The Animals will ALL be tame. None will prey on others, and the little child will lead them. (Isaiah 11:6-9; 65:25) (D) There will be no more curse (Revelation 22:3). (E) There will be no more violence of any kind. (Isaiah 60:18) (F) Nothing defiling will be found in the New Earth (Revelation 21:27)
- Nobody will ever really know. I used to wonder about that and get sad because they may not. But if they don't always remember that God made them and everything he makes is precious. He loves them a lot too and he will make sure they are happy.
