I did not want to mention this in the prior response, because it would move things off topic.

It is of such interest to me, that I wanted to touch on it here.

When the gifts of the Holy Spirit were given to Jesus disciples, it was representative of something to me, that I question if others have ever considered it. Perhaps that’s a juvenile thought, but it does occur to me.

We have read of information technology and the concept of implanting a massive database at some point in time so humans could have access to it, to increase their accessible knowledge any time they wished.

Right there in the Bible is something even better.

When we are restored to our nature before the fall of man, I suggest it is likely we will have knowledge at our fingertips to answer the great questions of the ages.

We have probably not contemplated the amazing gift the Holy Spirit may turn out to be.

We have probably not contemplated the full loss that the fallen angels from heaven experienced.

There is so much we puny humans don’t even know right the questions to ask about.

I believe that our estate will be better than before the fall. Both estates are innocent of sin, but in the restoration we will not want to sin and will not sin. It also seems that the familial bonds will be redefined, Adam had a wife, but Jesus says there is no marrying or giving in marriage in the resurrection. No doubt our reasoning ability will be vastly enhanced without sin and narcissistic emotional motives. We know our bodies will not see corruption and the things that were dangerous will not longer be a threat. I speculate that we will wear garments to signify the covering of the righteousness of Christ rather than be naked like in Eden. It is a mystery how developed our intellects will be and what access to knowledge will be available.
