Which I am not disagreeing with at all-the point I was trying to make is that as time goes by; the further away we get from the original design (God is still in control), the less like 'Heaven' this earth is becoming. Not that we don't have an idea of what Heaven will be like. I think most people have this weird ether image of heaven in their minds-like we will be some disembodied 'spirits' floating on clouds.
I think most people fail to realize that when we are 'translated'/ 'quickened'/ 'resurrected' /'made alive again' in our new eternal abodes-it will be Earth 2.0 with the inclusion of Jerusalem 2.0 surrounded by the 'Heavens 2.0'. It will all be remade without sin after the millennium reign.
The 'remade' Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem, people, animals plants, etc...will be similar, but very different without the influence of the curse on it.
Yes it is a 'foretaste'; it is a 'sample' of the things to come: GLORY TO GOD!
