I can just imagine billions of souls entering through Heaven's gates.  Simultaneously, there's a shout asking God:  What took you so long!??

His response:  I I didn't have enough help!

So true!   Or perhaps the future believer(s) procrastinated in making a decision?  And could it be not just one person but one entire family we are waiting for?  Plus will the rapture immediately follow after that last believer accepts the Gospel or will the Lord allow a little time for them to earn some rewards?

Will we eventually know up in heaven who that believer(s) will be?  Think of the teasing jokes ... but also think how special that person(s) will feel knowing he/she was the last one to make up the church and the Lord was waiting for that one remaining lost sheep into the fold.

That is what I'm hoping for in Heaven.  People being able to express a sense of humor.

During some difficult times in my life, humor has always been a good fall back position for me.  Difficulties just seem to take on a different perspective.

Anyone one who can avail themselves of humor can't be all bad!  Or as W.C. Fields use to say, anyone who hates kids and dogs, can't be all bad.  Oh well.

Point being with that much joy floating around, perhaps there will be a little bit of silly as well!

I’m expecting it .. :whistle:   Those who are so serious down here I think its because they have a lot of troubles and worries ... but in heaven we will be free from all that.  I personally need to hear jokes and to laugh because it relieves stress.

Luke 6:21

Blessed are you who hunger now, For you shall be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, For you shall laugh.

 

Proverbs 15:15

Every day is hard for those who suffer. But a happy heart makes it like a continual feast.

 

Proverbs 17:22

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.”

Every employers lament.  It's just so hard to find good help.  God says: tell me about it!

I doubt if I’ll like certain slimy creatures ever. Kids are ok, minus snotty noses. :mdrmdr:

I'm with ya Sis.  I'll do without all those creepy crawlie things.  Slimy and ugly things.  Blood sucking animals.  To be quite frank there are many animals and creatures that I would not want to see in Heaven, no matter how redeemed or curse ridden they might be!

And given that Heaven was built primarily to house God and angels in Heaven, while in the New Jerusalem and forever in a New Heaven and New Earth, who knows what the Lord will fill the Earth with?!  Maybe a pet dinosaur named Dino!
