Good evening, all ...
   I have wondered on this for a long time. Namely, how could a person
from an ancient and yes, very alien place and time fit into our modern
world? Everything they ever knew would be so very different from other
cultures and epochs. Our fitting into their world would be really
different and strange to us. It seems to me far more likely that their
heaven would be tailored to their reality, as our heaven being
tailored to our own civilization and time.
    Remembering how Jesus assured us that He went away to build each
of us a special dwelling place, and also that:
   Matthew 24:31 says And He will send out His angels with a loud
trumpet blast, and they'll gather his elect from the four winds, from

one end of heaven to another."<<<

   Some people, like me, :)>, think Jesus could have meant homes on
planets circling star systems from across our galaxy, maybe even
across our universe!
   We wont know, of course, until that day. He did of course, promise
us these special, wonderful dwelling places.  My being one of those
amateur astronomer types, it would be neet to be on a world within a
solar system where two or even three different colored suns would
daily track across the sky!  And in an awesome nebula and local
universe even more grand than what we have here. And that I would have
my own really big telescope! >  >
