Excluding my own personal beliefs about heaven and all that end of the world stuff, I noticed something today that I think is funny.
It seems common in the discussion of 'heaven and what one will do there' people express the desire to hang out with the biblical greats.
for example:
fish with Peter
Dance with David (theoretically naked... o dear)
wrestle with Jacob
and just spend time with these people
It comes out in the personal statements people make about their heaven...
But lets think about it...
Under this thought process David would be pretty busy. Taking into account his personal family, his contemporaries and every person who read the bible since then... That makes his dance card pretty full. It means David will probably be dancing for most of eternity...
I don't know about you but that sounds crazy.

yeah...it's bad eschatology pat...bad eschatology...
if you really want to know what heaven is going to be - - well, i'm going to be conducting mass choirs and orchestras for eternity. if you're unluckly, you could end up playing some dumb instrument - - like the triangle...or the voila...or the contra bassoon...or 3rd trombone...sheesh. All the 3rd trombonists do is rest! BORING!
so...there you have it. good eschatology.
I like making fun of bad exchatology... it makes me a jerk... but heaven is probably full of jerks... well bad eschatology type heavens.
