Heaven won't be about us matter of fact john shall a new heaven and earth because the old had passed away and the temple come down from heaven Rev. it says they will neither be male or female, a 71 years old person can be a babe in Christ say he was saved at 70 and died at 71 he's a year Old in Christ, Paul said it does not yet appear what we shall be so I don't think we know. An elder could be 30 if he was saved at 16 and an older person not be if they were just saved. plus we only know in part 1 Corinthians 13:12
"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." And some words were unlawful for Paul to speak, 2 Corinthians 12:4
"How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter."
People who've died on operating tables and been resuscitated, have said children seen in a vision, were adolescents. (Including all of those who were aborted or miscarried).
For me, who lost a child by miscarriage, it comforts me that I will meet that child someday. I named him.
I don't think we should think of them as dead anymore.
People who suffered disabilities in life, of any type, will be perfect in heaven. All those feelings of being rejected because of imperfection, accidents or all reasons; will be RESTORED.
That is the Father that I've come to know and love. His heart is mercy. He truly cares what we suffer here on this earth. There will be no jealousy or envy; persecution of any type. No feelings of inadequacy. We'll all have the mind of Christ Jesus.
Think on these things. Set your heart on what's to come. Be at peace now; knowing that what God has purposed for us will be far and above anything we can imagine.
Glean from the BIBLE, scriptures that touch on this. Book of Job, Genesis after creation was completed; and so much more. Discover every verse that tells us specific details about heaven, Jesus, the Father, the Holy Spirit, angels.
Right now we know when we get to Heaven there will be a huge banquet at the marriage of the Lamb; to His people. (Covenant). We know that God enjoys banquets, music, dancing and choirs; we will stroll by the Tree of Life. No memories of past pain or hurts. Just a lot of JOY.
Search out those verses yourself and then come back here to share them with us.
Let's all do our best to evangelize those who think Heaven will be boring. We know what we know, in our hearts, already. Jesus is who we looked for, all of our earthly lives.
There is an equal alternative to drugs alcohol flesh parties, hollow sinful things. Heaven is NOT a buzz kill. It's JOY UNSPEAKABLE, full of Grace.
2 Peter 4 is coming to earth. Global warming is a LIE.
Although there is no scripture on this age factor, threw my studies, I have noticed that it seems to be, somewhere between 28 - 33 ,. An sense the spiritual body dose not get sick , or grow old ,.. that is what I thought, mind you now , this is just my understanding,.. thank you
Hello, I've heard this interesting question before, but the Bible doesn't answer this anywhere to my knowledge.
I'm not sure we will even have physical bodies per se, but perhaps some kind of spiritual body that is permanent that may have a a physical representation. Job 19:26 indicates there could be a flesh component.
1 Corinthians 15:52 suggests that the body may be a new incorruptable form.
The dead will rise to meet Jesus. Since bodies generally turn back into dust in the ground, I think its logical that some kind of renewed body or spiritual body would contain us. I would assume we would all look our natural mature age as an adult and not a child or senior, but this isn't based on anything Biblical, just speculation. God bless.
I think that we will have a body like Jesus had after His resurrection. He could eat and be touched. He had human form and skin and bones.
But He could appear and move through time and space at will.
And the Angels said He would come back in the same way He ascended, bodily.
Yet, again. He did say that He went to the Father to receive back the glory He had before the creation of the world. We do not know what that glory is, but Paul's encounter on the road to Damascus and the Transfiguration tell us that He is surrounded by light. I don't know if we will shine like Jesus but I do think our bodies will be like His and we can be touched, eat, etc. like He did after the resurrection . I think we will continue to be filled with the Holy Spirit but in a more complete and perfect way.
If we do like the little song; This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine, it will shine then, some brighter than others but none as bright as our Savior Jesus Christ whose light shines through us.
Daniel 12:2-3 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.
So, we will shine in eternity. I think all of heaven will shine with the God's holy light
Revelations 21:22-23
Yet I think we will be able to discern Jesu' countenance and that of others
In this life here, such light would be blinding, but in our new incorruptible bodies, our eyes will not be bothered by the light of holiness we will experience forever in heaven.
Jesus is both the light of the world and the light of heaven.
Obviously light is associated with holiness, so when Jesus said to let our light shine in this life, He is referring to our godly lifestyle that causes others to glorify God.

Good explanation.

But He could appear and move through time and space at will.
And the Angels said He would come back in the same way He ascended, bodily.

Keep the light on and keep it shining.

Daniel 12:3 says
(NIV)
Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.
So, we will shine in eternity. I think all of heaven will shine with the God's holy light
Revelations 21:22-23

Thanks for reminding me about these verses.
