Heaven will be better than anything that we can imagine or describe. I think "streets of gold" is figurative. Solomon's temple was covered with gold, the furniture in the tabernacle in the holy and most holy places was covered with gold. Gold was the most precious thing at that time. To me, "streets of gold" means the most precious, most special, most wonderous place that God could conceive of in all His glory. We think on a physical plane, God is on a spiritual plane & what He has in store for the faithful is beyond description.
