And, since a...That's one perspective of course. And, since all perspectives are speculative only, we can add our own. The differences in perspectives should come about, as for most things we are capable of, in the degrees of probability that can be assigned to one scenario or another. E.g., from my perspective it is impossible to discard the enormous quantity of pure real estate that the universe represents. It has to figure in somehow into the hereafter as well. It is clear that the proposed Jerusalem would still be infinitesimal when compared to the scale of the universe. Combine that with fact of human nature having been created to engage in work and activity (and not only for reclining at dinner) and it stands to reason that we are on a never ending mission of co-creation and constructive activity in the physical and the supernatural realm. In other words, you won't EVER get bored. There is a reason why the new Jerysalem is compared to a city with its usual hustle and bustle.<br /><br />Furthermore, I have known couples where the spouse has died due to illness, accident, or natural time and the spouse left behind out of love desired nothing more then to also pass on to be in the presence of their beloved partner. I do not think for one second that earthly marriage bonds and union are negated, diminished or unimportant in the hereafter and cannot continue as an important function. The implication is that there is probably constructive work to be done in the hereafter as well in a setting that we cannot imagine since we do not know how it can be to be free of the constraints of time.<br />Qmannoreply@blogger.com
