    Friend you have apparently never read a Bible questions for the most part do not go to heaven they die and wait for the resurrection. The idea that you die and go to heaven is directly from Satan the Devil Himself it is found in the Bible book of Isaiah where Satan the devil said come and let us go on up to the heavens and make our homes with God and become like the most high after he said that God kicked Satan and the demons out of heaven. As to the age of people when they are Resurrected God is going to do what is age-appropriate and beneficial for the person that is being Resurrected! If a baby is Resurrected. And has parents waiting for the baby the baby will be resurrected as a baby in front of the parents! If You're A Very Old Man you will be resurrected as a very old man and start to grow young again. If your a teenager you'll be resurrected as a teenager and grow up to adulthood but you will be growing up not in heaven you'll be growing up on a paradise Earth like God intended

    We do not have physical bodies in bodies.

    We can manifest in our preferred form.

    Did you know that the scriptures tell us that the earth is to be man's home forever? Genesis 1:26-30 says that our first parents were to "be fruitful and become many, fill the earth and subdue it,...." Psalms 115:16 tells us: "As for the heavens, they belong to Jehovah. But the earth he has given to the sons of men." Psalms 37:10 says that when God's Kingdom takes over earth's affairs, we will not be able to find even one wicked person on this earth. Psalms 37:11, 29 and 34 tell us: "But the meek will possess the earth, and they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it. Hope in Jehovah and follow his way, and he will exalt you to take possession of the earth. When the wicked are done away with, you will see it." Jesus verifies these Scriptures at Matthew 5:5: "Happy are the mild-tempered, since they will inherit the earth." No other religion, that I know of, teaches that mankind will live on the earth in perfect health, even forever. They do not understand what the ransom sacrifice, that Jesus gave, means for faithful humans. John 3:16 tells us: "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life." If we are not destroyed during the great tribulation and Armageddon, will we not still be here on earth? Revelation 7:9 says: "After this I saw, and look! a great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb dressed in white robes; and there were palm branches in their hands. And they were shouting with a loud voice, saying: 'Salvation we owe to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb." If these people were holding "palm branches" were they not right here on earth? Because these exercised faith in Jesus' ransom sacrifice, verse 14 tells us: "These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb." The Lamb being Jesus Christ. These individuals, along with all who have died but are in God's memory and are awakened from the sleep of death, will be able to return to the tree of life. Revelation 2:7 tells us: "Let the one who has an ear hear what the spirit says to the congregations: To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God." Yes, although Adam and Eve lost the privilege of eating from the "tree of life," Jesus' ransom gained that privilege back for all of mankind who would "exercise faith in Jesus" by "following his steps closely."

    Guess, we will find out when we get there. The WORD says that we will have new bodies so age really wouldn't matter anyway, especially since we will be with the LORD for eternity.

    Ask someone who has been there, that does seem too be the gist,,eternity. Nothing physical or worldly, just your spiritual self awareness.

  • Jesus teaches that heaven is likened to childlike innocence Wonder and amazement.

    Heaven seems a lot like rotting in a pine box underground.

    Whoever makes it to heaven will have a glorified body like Jesus had after His resurrection. Jesus could walk through walls, appear in different places instantly, etc. So a person in heaven will have that type of capability. We know some of the disciples had some trouble recognizing Jesus after His resurrection so we know his physical appearance was somewhat different that is for sure. We don't know a lot more than that.
