Heaven is a physical place where God the Father lives with his loved ones, and it's a populated place inside by the Lord, a lamb, and his loved ones. The city has 12 foundations, 12 gates made of a single pearl, and the streets are of pure gold. Heaven is a place of great beauty, glory, and light, where there's no more suffering or death, and it's a place of fellowship, marriage feast, and dancing. On the other hand, hell is a place of great suffering, weeping, gnashing of teeth, and it's a place of physical torment, described as a bottomless pit, a lake, and a fire. The best part of hell is that people there are totally devoid of God's presence, and they'll never see his face, never know his name, never be in his presence. [... more]

We will reign with God forever and ever, and our capacity for love will be increased, not decreased. However, hell is a place of eternal misery, locked from the inside, and our current default destination. The Spirit and the bride say, 'Come,' and offer a river of life flowing from the throne of God, bringing healing and forgiveness, without price. [... more]

The Bible teaches that death is a transition to either heaven or hell, determined by one's relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ.
