'''Heaven''' (literally 'the sky') is the place where [[God]] dwells. It is a location (either physical or spiritual) reserved as the afterlife in many religions, especially the [[Abrahamic religion|Abrahamic faiths]].

The Kingdom of God, as taught by [[Jehovah's Witnesses]], will destroy and replace all existing kingdoms and governments during Armageddon, and rule the earth from heaven for one thousand years, which they teach is the meaning of Bible verses like ({{bibleverse||Daniel|2:44|ESV}})

During this thousand year reign, they teach that all righteous and unrighteous humans will be resurrected from the dead in perfect human bodies. [[Jehovah's Witnesses]] teach that this is the "Second Resurrection", and only occurs during total Kingdom rule. They teach that these ones ''can'' die again if their deeds, during the thousand years, are not in line with Gods rule, which they teach is John's meaning at ({{bibleverse||Revelation|20:13|ESV}}).
[[Jehovah's Witnesses]] teach that Satan the Devil will be imprisoned during this one thousand year reign, and unable to influence humans in any way under the Kingdoms rule, which they teach is the meaning of ({{bibleverse||Revelation|20:1-2|NIV}}). They teach that All human beings that do not submit fully to the Kingdom of God during this thousand year reign of Christ will die before the thousand years is over which they take ({{bibleverse||Isaiah|17:1,20|NIV}}) to mean. This Jehovah's Witnesses teach is the "Second Death", from which there is no resurrection, which they teach is the meaning of ({{bibleverse||Revelation|20:14|NIV}}).
[[Jehovah's Witnesses]] teach that after the last rebellious humans, and Satan are destroyed that [[Jehovah]] and his [[Kingdom]] will rule forever over a perfect human race, on a paradise earth completely free from sin, death, and any wicked influences whatsoever. It will not be passed on to anyone as no one will grow old and die in heaven or on earth.
Jehovah's Witnesses teach that the Kingdom of God is the central theme of the entire Bible, Jesus message while on earth, and their own door to door preaching.<ref>[http://www.watchtower.org/e/jt/article_04.htm "The Good News They Want You to Hear"]</ref> They teach that their door to door preaching is a major "Sign of the End" before the [[Kingdom]] brings to an end this worlds system of governments. In this way, they believe, Gods Will shall be done in [[Heaven]] and also on the Earth and further make Gods name, [[Jehovah]] ,Holy, or sanctified.<ref>''The Watchtower'', 15 March 2009, page 15, “Be Vigilant”</ref>
== Judaism ==
[[Judaism]] focuses much less on the nature and method of entering heaven, for which the [[Old Testament]] says little, but emphasizes good deeds (''mitzvot'') on this earth. Even [[Orthodox Jews]] rarely discuss the afterlife which is seen as unimportant, instead putting more emphasis on Philosophy, Mysticism, and especially Ethics.
== Islam ==
[[Islam]] emphasizes belief in God and acceptance of [[Muhammad]] as God's Prophet. There is also a physical component not found in Christianity and Judaism. Among certain fringe, fundamentalist sects of contemporary Islam, if one dies in [[Jihad]], no matter how bad he had been during his life, he is immediately lifted to heaven and given 72 virgins. This view is emphasized among Islamic militant extremists ([[terrorists]]), who believe it applies to them when they kill "infidels" who they believe stand in the way of Islam.
