thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly

"For he was looking forward to the city with foundations,
whose architect and builder is God."

Hebrews 11:10

What peihua laoshi (phls) shared with my class on Sunday on this verse regarding Abraham's faith was indeed useful and applicable to all of us.

Corresponding to what pastor huang shared earlier on:
stages of life of butterfly
[caterpillar--cocoon--butterfly]
Our life on earth are but as mere travelers (on the other hand we also possess a roayl identity)
Death is just referred to as 'sleep' in Christ's speeches.
What matters is what our life is like in eternity, to be with all the saints in God's glory or..the most pitiful state of condemnation.

This is where I will be in eternity, when angels welcome me at heaven's gates.
Where will you be?

"But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the judge of all men, to the spirits of righteous men made perfect, to Jesus the Mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel."
Hebrews 12:22-24

I just had a strange thought when pastor huang was preaching earlier this afternoon.
Will uncle yaoguo meet my dad, grandpa, grandma and maybe chat??
Will they like say hey! Nice to meet you!
Will they discuss about their families on earth?

At that moment I thought God spoke to me in a really simple manner.
He said, "I am with them"

When God is with you and you are with God, there's no need for questions.
