The Bible describes heaven and the city of God:

“God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away…the building of the wall of it was [of] jasper: and the city [was] pure gold, like unto clear glass…the foundations of the wall of the city [were] garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation [was] jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. And the twelve gates [were] twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city [was] pure gold, as it were transparent glass.And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb [is] the light thereof…the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there..And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb… In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, [was there] the tree of life, which bare twelve [manner of] fruits” Reveltaion21-22
