Imagining the life to come (Heaven & New Earth)

[EvolvingChristian]

For one, I wonder, what happens to our relationships in the life to come. Will we continue to be close to our parents, spouse(s), siblings, children, friends, etc.? My guess, and it's purely a guess, is that we WILL continue those relationships. However, I presume that we will learn to love everyone else, something that we're not necessarily capable of doing in our present form. I'm probably oversimplifying this because I cannot conceive of the wonders of the life to come. We are going to be changed and we just have NO IDEA as to the glories that await us.

Can you imagine the reunions that we will have with our loved ones that passed before us? I imagine being greeted by my elderly father and then watching him transform into his new body, that of (perhaps) a 25-year-old.

This might sound crazy but I think I'm most excited about being reunited with the many dogs and cats that shared their lives with me. Maybe that's because we sort of view our animal companions as quasi-children. LOL.

Do you think we'll be able to go back into time and watch things as they happened on Earth many years ago? Wouldn't it be awesome to see the big millstone roll out of the way and to watch our resurrected savior walking out?!

The amazing thing is that we cannot imagine the glories of what is to come!

These are interesting thoughts which I have thought about many times. I *think* that everything here on earth is a type or shadow of things to come in heaven, only in Heaven it will be the real deal and not a squished mushy burger that doesn't resemble the picture at all, lol! Plus I think there will be lots more that we haven't even thought of or would even be able to comprehend.

I think everyone will have a job also. A house, our beloved pets that we had on earth. And I think that we will prolly know and associate with our earthly family members on a special level, but it will not be a physical relationship with our earthly marital partners because we will be transformed into spiritual beings and be living on a higher plane of existance, where sexual unions are not needed because our God, is a God of creation. He does that, we don't.

And I would bet money that we will be able to time travel back in earths history and be able to witness many things. How would you like to be a witness to the creation of the universe and the planets, and Mankind?! Wow!

Ya' know, if you think about it...it's very cool that how people say, when earth comes to an end, when this is all over and ended...That is wrong! For it will not be any end for us but only the beginning. Ponder that.
