What is Heaven (Third Heaven)?
In our english language today, heaven is supposed to be a wonderful place without pain and suffering. However, we know that we have First Heaven (Earth), Second Heaven (Temporary Place awaiting judgement) and Third Heaven (Heaven). For simplicity, heaven here is refering to Third Heaven where God, His saints and His angels dwell.
For those who has accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, finding out about our future home in Third Heaven and preparation for it becomes important. This video (Duration: about 1 hour 40 mins) describes heaven in quite detail by Rev. Oden Hetricks.

Why so few will enter Third Heaven?
Indeed, Jesus tells us that the path to Heaven (Third Heaven) is narrow. Rev. Howard Pittmann told us that in his Near Death Experience (NDE) in 1979, only 50 out of 2000 souls made it to Third Heaven (2.5%). We also have people in Korea experiencing Near Death Experience (NDE) reporting 1 out of 1000 souls entered Third Heaven in 1988 (0.1%). We already have so few in 1979 and about 10 years later, our rate dropped 25 times. Why this is so???
To elaborate this point on why so few going to Heaven, we will use an example of house rules. We often have house rules for our children living with us at home. If our children disobey the rules, they will get punished as a consequence. Just because our children rebel against one or more of the rules we set, it does not mean that we will remove the rules to fit our children if they cannot follow them by lowering our standards. For example, no drugs or no smoking at home literally means NO DRUGS and NO SMOKING at home. Hence, we as children of God must follow God House Rules which God has written in The Bible. God will not lower His standard because we have a hard time following. (Click here for God's Laws or Commandmends for the born again people to follow)
The Bible says that our names will be written in the Lamb's Book of Life when we are born again. Born again is when we realized that accepting Jesus Christ is the only way for our souls to live on in Third Heaven when we our bodies die physically on earth (First Heaven). If not, our souls will be sent to Second Heaven where Satan has his dominion. Souls going there will live in a place where there is no love and have to work for Satan or get tortured by him. After a certain time as appointed by God, all the souls, demons, devils and Satan in Second Heavens will be sent to Eternal Hell. Please note that Satan and his demons has access to First Heaven (Earth) and Second Heavens at the moment.
Also, The Bible informs us that names can also be removed from the Lamb's Book of Life if we do not live our lives according to what Jesus commands. Our lives after the acceptance of Jesus Christ as our Saviour will require us to put away our old life and live the life for Jesus Christ. Jesus promised us that we can overcome that with His help. It is important to know that the Deceiver / Devil / Satan will work against God to deceive us. Satan and his team is actively working to distract and contaminate us from finding our way back to God and living a God pleasing life. That is the reason why we are struggling with crafty temptations by Satan and his team.
