When you mention “Heaven is for Real,” it usually points to the 2010 best-selling book and subsequent 2014 film based on the story of Colton Burpo, a four-year-old boy who claimed to have visited Heaven during emergency surgery.
In the context of Angelology, Colton’s descriptions provided a modern, “child’s-eye view” of the celestial hierarchy that fascinated both believers and skeptics.
1. The Angelic Descriptions in Colton’s Account
Colton’s account includes specific details that align—and sometimes contrast—with traditional Angelology:
- Size and Wings: Colton described angels as appearing in different sizes and having wings. While modern Angelology often views angels as pure spirit (without physical bodies), Colton’s description fits the iconographic tradition used to help humans process spiritual beings.
- The Archangel Gabriel: Interestingly, Colton described Gabriel as being “kind of like God” because he sits on a throne next to God’s throne.
- Celestial Light: He mentioned that it never gets dark in Heaven because God and Jesus provide the light, a detail that mirrors descriptions in the Book of Revelation.
