Come close to something I wrote long ago when the topic of Heaven was posted.
The Heaven that awaits us is not harps, white robes, and never-ending boredom which is the perception that many people have, because that is what movies, cartoons, and paintings have showed us what it is like.
The Heaven John wrote about in the Bible is so full of wonders and mysteries that in our wildest dreams we could not imagine it. Certainly Heaven contains many surprises which we will never be able to comprehend in this life. And it will not be boring.
The only way I, with my puny little mortal human brain can even begin to comprehend Heaven and to explain it is to ask you to think back to the one single best day of your whole life. Maybe it was your wedding, the birth of your child, your first trip to Disneyland, the anniversary cruise with your spouse, whatever. Now imagine each day in Heaven being that multiplied 100-fold, and the number of those days will be endless. That is what I firmly believe Heaven will be like. Is it no wonder that John saw All the Heavenly host on their knees worshiping the creator of it all.
I heard it said once that, - “as a Christian, the day I die will be the best day I’ve ever lived. But it won’t be the best I will ever live.”

1 day expanded for all eternity.
Why does time have to run like it does here? I always like to think of it like Data talks about it, where he examines something for minute, but that time to him is an eternity.
We perceive time because of the things that are in our body. If that body doesn’t stop, then we can have that joy and pleasure for as long as we wish. So 1 day, but each second would be eternity.
You’re right. Just how could Christ or the Apostle Paul who was taken up into heaven explain it to us? There’s no common vocabulary or things to make comparisons with. I like that quote, too. It makes perfect sense to me.
