You might want to read over Revelation a few more times. The whole thing is symbolic. Use the Old Testament to solve some of it. Then take the inward path to find out the missing parts.

I did figure out about 10% but it took about ten years. The rest came from John's translation.

Actually, I do. I think the Bible speaks more to what won't be in heaven. There will be worship, fellowship with God and others, no evil, meaningful satisfying work. Praise the Lord, no more CML or toxic drugs to treat it [mine added]. Will finally be at home. I'm sure I could probably add a few more things from Scripture, but won't because I'm feeling wiped out and have a cold.

Regardless, someone asked our view on death and I gave mine.

Interestingly, it seems we agree that we all face death.

In some cases a spirit leaves before the death of the body. In some cases the spirit leaves and causes the death of the body. Just my opinion.
