Excellent post Kosta50... brings to mind a quote from Carl Sagan.. "Life had to happen first- Somewhere"..

I fully believe that place is earth..

And the biblical "heaven" will be (for some- maybe most) to populate(people) this wonderful Universe.. And that human life here, was and is qualifing "US" to do that and other things..

And that 1Cor 2;9 is beyond prophetic to being a promise..
Thanks for a very good post..

Thank you so very much for sharing your insights, dear hosepipe!

Indeed, I do not know what the new heaven and new earth will be like beyond what God has revealed to us in Revelation - but I'm very sure it will be thrilling.

Thank you, hosepipe...

But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

~1 Corinthians 2:10-16
