I may be the only one...

I think this whole thread has so much honesty in it and I am glad to see that I am not the only one either. I don't know what it will be like but here is my dream or hope whaterver is may be called. Green grass that I can lay back in that won;t make me sick as I am allergic to grass! Laying back in the grass with my bare feet in a creek and my precious Michael being there with me. I think about what it will be like but I guess when that time comes we will be so happy with all the great things our minds cannot understand or think of that we won't even think of the "dreams we have dreamed" on this earth! Much love and a good morning to all, Jennie

Hi Sorin,

I agree with the others. When I think of EVERYONE being saved ... billions upon billions of people ... it seems that our immortal existence will get pretty crowded. You know what I used to say? I wanted to die and go to heaven before the rapture so I would have a chance to learn my way around heaven. And all that talk about "meeting at the Eastern gate"? I suggested to my family that we meet at the WESTERN gate; that way, it will be a lot easier to find each other. LOL!!!

It's easy to look at the spiritual world with an earthly perspective. After all, this is all we know! Even now, I tend to think that our existence won't be so wonderful with all those PEOPLE there. Put me on an island with animals and leave me alone, LOL! With people, there is always misunderstandings, fighting and tensions. Who needs that?? So how can life in God's Kingdom be that great if PEOPLE will be there? Especially Hussein, Hitler, Castro, et.al.

That's the human perspective, and sometimes it's the only one I can see. But I do think it will be better. We all (myself included) will be perfect, so there will be none of the strife we face on a daily basis.

Another thing:

You know how it is when you move to a new house in a new neighbor, or get married, or begin any kind of pleasant new transition in your life? You go through a "honeymoon" phase. But after awhile the novelty wears off, and you get bored.

I always thought life in God's Kingdom would be that way. When Christ gathers us all home, at first it will be pure bliss. But after a few weeks, it will start to get "old." Imagine how boring it will be to live like that ... on and on and on, etc.

I hope God will have something for us to DO. Personally, I'd like to explore the universe.  :)

I don't know. I could spend the first thousand years just asking Jesus questions. Like why he let so many
people believe what they believed while here on earth. Then another thousand years talking to great teachers.
Can you emagine what it would be like to sit with Paul and chat about what he went through.To find out what
really went through the mind of Judas when he betrayed Jesus. Oh my goodness! I hope that we don't learn too fast. I want to
spend eternity continuing to learn. ;D ;D

Hi Sorin,

Just the fact that you're here on this forum and opening your heart to all of us, speaks volumes.  A broken heart and a contrite spirit, thou will not despise.  Remember when David was running from Saul and he wound up in some cave all alone.  Well, word got out about it and every misfit in the land came to him and joined him.  From those misfits came the greatest kingdom Israel and Judah have ever known.  So many of us, maybe all, have been or are still in the same boat as you, so much so, that you would'nt believe it.  Doubts, anxieties, confusion, fears and darkness and any other fraility that I have missed, are a part of all of us.  We talked alot lately about the God of the OT verses the God of the NT, well in the NT we are no longer fighting the physical inhabitants of the land .   Paul did'nt write, for we wrestle not against the Jebusites or the Hittites or the Amorites or the Perizzites; but we wrestle against principalities against powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world; against spiritual wickeness in high places  There is a spiritual war going on in every one us.....Satan is in our flesh and God is in our spirit and both want our hearts and minds...our soul.  Sorin, God has already won, we just don't realize it yet....but we will!!!! 

God be with you and all of us misfits,

Dwight,
