The end times are something that people have been talking about for a long time but one thing that not many people talk about often is what it will be like in eternity. A big reason for that is probably because no one knows, people have things that they think but no one knows what it will really be like but that doesn't stop people from trying (including me).
So with that in mind i thought i would give it a try. So i thought i would start with what i was taught when i was younger. I was told that we would live out our lives until a peace treaty would be signed by Israel and another nation which would start the 7 year tribulation, 3½ years of relative peace and then 3½ years of war. After that Christ would return condemn Satan and start His thousand year rule over the earth where all of our questions would be answered and we would worship God all the time after which Satan would be released and try to make a stand against God which would fail, then we would live for ever in heaven with God worshiping Him. That is all in a nut shell of course.
Now on to what I have come to think and believe. I really started to think about this about a year ago when people I knew started to talk about it and how great it will be (and it will), with no pain, no questions, ext but when I started o think about it I began to think maybe it wasn't going to be like that, not the whole part about being with God forever and it being a great time. I began to wonder what forever was going to be like.
One I don't think that we will spend our whole lives in heaven, in fact I think that we will spend it here on earth. You see in the bible one thing that you might notice is that we were made on earth and angles were made in the spiritual realm. I believe that if we were meant for the spiritual realm we would have been made there, so why would God put us in a place that we were not made for, that would make no since to me.
The second thing is I don't think that every question will be answered. I think God gave man a curiosity about the world and universe around us. Back in the garden is the best example of what the kingdom of God will be like and in Genesis God gives us the mandate to go out and explore (see below) and to this day there is so much that we have yet ti find out so why would God make such a big universe only to let it go to waist.
Now I do think that we will spend an eternity with God worshiping Him but I think it we will worship Him through our actions, I think that we will continue to try to answer questions we have and in answering those questions we will give glory to God. I think we will still try to find love and marry but all of that will be to the glory and supervision of God. I think in that time we will find out how things were suppose to be.
So I hope all that got you thinking.
In Christ

Genesis 1
28 God blessed them; and God said to them, " Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth." 29 Then God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; 30 and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food"; and it was so.

i am a true believer in GOD. most people wander the earth and figuer they wont get in trouble for the mistakes they have made. well i hate to break it to them but they will. there is no eternity unless you believe and i mean truly believe that there is a savior, and that he will come to your rescue in the end. what i am trying to say is that the gates to heaven allow only few chances for you to be accepted. if you believe in GOD follow the paths he leaves you, listen to the words he tells you, dont take advantage of what amazing life he brings to you. i do believe in satan, only because that IS what the world has become. there is evil and hatred on every corner you turn, every street you follow, in every dark corner you might pass. people need to understand that GOD put you in this world, and just as easily as he did that, he can take you right back out of it. take for example, my uncle. Wally Morgan Thompson. born in 1960, passed in 2005. after the autopsy, my family found out it was murder. my uncle did nothing to deserve such a punishment, but i know he is safe where he is now, because i know God has taken him into his care, God helped us find him after his disappearance. in the end, God WILL help us find who has done it. BELIEVE IN GOD, AND YOU WILL BE SAVED, TRULY BELIEVE.
