Likewise the pseudepigraphral books attributed to Enoch recount his heavenly visits - but the overwhelming focus is on the Father and "The Elect One" (Jesus Christ.)

By the way, the Book of Jude 1:14-15 (NT) quotes from the the Book of Enoch (I Enoch 1:9) as Scripture, although only the Ethiopian Bible considers is inspired.

Truly, dear Quix, when I meditate on all of these - there is not one iota of my personality I would consider worth keeping in the new heaven and earth.

If that ain't the truth. Our personalities are of this world and the Evangelist tells us 'love not the world.'

Our personalities are of this world

Actually, to me, that idea approaches BLASPHEMY.

1. MY HEAVENLY DADDY DESIGNED MY PERSONALITY.
2. My Lord and Savior Jesus The Christ created me and REDEEMED ME.
3. HOLY SPIRIT HAS BEEN BUSY MATURING AND OVERHAULING ME.

My personality is WHOLESALE FROM GOD, FROM HEAVEN. He not only designed and created me--He very carefully conditioned me with carefully arraged relationships, events, situations, experiences all resulting in precisely the eternal gem He had in mind to begin with.

There will not be anything left infecting my Heavenly personality which will be earthbound or which will detract from God's Glory.
