The subject of death and eternity is the last real conversation in our modern culture; even many Christians do not want to talk about the subject of death. If you doubt this statement, try a small experiment. At a party you attend, or in a conversation with others, talk about the death of someone with whom you are all familiar, and watch their reaction. Usually, a gloomy quietness takes over the conversation. Or a morbid “I’m sorry to hear that” will follow! While the subject of death was a great conversation piece for the early Christians, in our modern, “liberated” society, it is avoided like the plague by most people. Another reason why a lot of believers do not know much about Heaven is that those whose job it is to prepare them for death and Heaven, such as pastors and parents, are not doing their job. In fact, they are not even prepared to do their job. Christians who attend church seldom hear a sermon of any depth about Heaven. This lack of clear Biblical teaching about Heaven and “the last days” has produced a vacuum concerning eternity in the minds of many believers.
