>>>Well, it seems you are living in heaven already. Nothing possibly could ever improve upon your lot in life for all eternity future.<<<

Would you mind putting things in context?

>>>My God still has a Plan, in which the Great Tribulation is still to come.<<<

Then your god is not my God. Jesus was crystal clear that the great tribulation would occur in the lifetime of his disciples, and I challenge you to PROVE otherwise without spiritualizing the scriptures. That should be simple enough. You can start with Matthew 24:34 where Jesus was answering questions raised by his disciples:

"Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled." (Mat 24:34 KJV)

If you cannot explain that use of the term "this generation" in the same terms where Jesus used the term "this generation" in other passages, you have no proof, whatsoever: only innuendo derived from spiritualization of the scriptures.

He's correct. The Church Age still hasn't passed. That is still future. If it had, then the Tribulation has passed, as is His Second coming, as too the Millennium, and if you are a believer you are already in your second body and with Him in Heaven.

Then again, since it is still future,...you really are still here and He hasn't returned for His Millennial reign.
