Hi Gena,
Your twin grandchilren or adorable
I think Diana put it really well about the lost of the other twins. It's like trying to have understanding of something that is beyond our comprehension now. I think it will all be so perfectly wonder, when God reveals what He has in store.
Hi Ursula,
In reference to Job 38, I think this is a good explanation from the Barnes commentary.
Job 38:7 -
When the morning-stars - There can be little doubt that angelic beings are intended here, though some have thought that the stars literally are referred to, and that they seemed to unite in a chorus of praise when another world was added to their number. The Vulgate renders it,
astra matutina, morning-stars; the Septuagint, ότε εγενήθηναι αστρα
hote egenēthēnai astra - “when the stars were made:” the Chaldee, “the stars of the zephyr,” or “morning” - צפר כוכבי.
The comparison of a prince, a monarch, or an angel, with a star, is not uncommon; The expression “the morning-stars” is used on account of the beauty of the principal star which, at certain seasons of the year, leads on the morning. It is applied naturally to those angelic beings that are of distinguished glory and rank in heaven. That it refers to the angels, seems to be evident from the connection; and this interpretation is demanded in order to correspond with the phrase “sons of God” in the other member of the verse.
Sang together - United in a grand chorus or concert of praise. It was usual to celebrate the laying of a cornerstone, or the completion of an edifice, by rejoicing; see Zec 4:7; Ezr 3:10.
And all the sons of God - Angels - called the sons of God from their resemblance to him, or their being created by him.

That experience may have actually qualified them to win the prize of election, to be in the first resurrection.
The only way to gain salvation, to be born into the kingdom is through Jesus Christ.
John 10:9 "I am the door. If anyone enters in by Me, he shall be saved and shall go in and out and find pasture."
Salvation is a process, that is shown in this life through the elect few.
All who are in the resurrection of the dead, will have to go through the same process. Given the knowledge of the truth and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and learn righteousness. Then as they become spiritual mature they will be brought into the kingdom.
That just the way I see it.
mercy, peace, and love
