Are there animals in heaven?

[abaris]

Swedenborg's writings say yes.

That's actually one point in favor of Swedenborg.

Supposing there are indeed animals in heaven. How cool would it be if they were all Tasmanian devils with rabies?

So do they get into heaven despite having no souls? Why doesn't the Bible talk about it if there are animals in heaven? (or am I mistaken?)

Here

Isaiah 11
6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

As I was taught, Huggy, these verses refer to the coming of the kingdom.  The 1000 years when god will rule over the nations.  NOW - - in your defense, this is Isaiah. So it's a rule of the Messiah prophecy, maybe.  Jesus hadn't arrived on the scene yet.  But, I was taught that this didn't apply to heaven.  And, of course, nearly everything that I was taught was a load of bullcrap.

SO - - and since I don't believe heaven exists - - whatever.  Carry on.

Man has been given dominion over animals here on earth and animals have been put here for us, but there's nothing specific in the Bible about animals in heaven.

There are Christians here, what do you think? Are there animals in heaven?

There are some weird creatures in the golden cube.  Some have six wings and eyes all around.  Some look like lions, calves, eagles, men.  There's a lamb with seven horns and seven eyes.  There's a whole swarm of weird locusts.  They have bodies like horses, faces like men, with lions' teeth.  The horses kave heads like lions.  There's at least one dragon.  There's a whole flock of weird angels.

There are no dogs in the golden cube.

I'm not aware of anything in the bible that says other animals go to heaven, or to anywhere else. If I'm wrong, I'd be interested to know.

Swedenborg's writings say yes.

My Magic 8-ball says no.

and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.

You believe a book who's writers believed the cockatrice was real?!?

Wow!

Creature - Cockatrice

Flying.
Whenever Cockatrice blocks or becomes blocked by a non-Wall creature, destroy that creature at end of combat.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. First off, can I get a nice, at least slightly coherent explanation of what heaven even is? ._.
