Adam and Eve are two actual people who are the ancestors of human kind, created and chosen by God for eternal life in heaven. Accordingly, they will be together with all of God’s children listed in the Lamb’s Book of Life and raised to eternal life in God’s family. Some people unknown in history to whom Yeshua preached during His three days in the grave will also be there. (2 Peter 3:19) Many are unknown to God and will remain forgotten together with utterly wicked and evil people, who are like weeds that are pulled up and cast out of the garden.
Much will be remembered no more, along with all sorrow, sadness and pain. In our minds it’s hard to comprehend forgetfulness in resurrection and we might ask all sorts of questions, but in the same way that Yeshua holds everything together in a hyper-sub-atomic spiritual manner, He resurrects our bodies to a new heavenly form according to the pattern He decided before the world was created. Perhaps it’s like chalk used up writing upon a chalk board, the particles of chalk dust are captured and reconstituted again into a box of chalk. Everything written on the board with chalk may become irrelevant and forgotten, even though the physical particles are still present.
That we will recognize one another in Heaven is asserted in scripture, as Yeshua met Moses and Elijah on the Mount of transfiguration. (Matt 17:1-5) God said, I am the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, God of the living, not the dead. (Matt. 22:32) The rich man in torment recognized Abraham from a distance. (Luke 16:22-26) All humans are subject to judgement after life to determine whether or not they will experience Heaven or the second death, Hell. (Rev. 20:14-15).
Judgement has been given to Yeshua as King of humanity, a human himself, and the only Lord and Savior. Like a final duty, Yeshua through whom the world and humanity were created will open the Book of life, separate the sheep from the goats, good people from bad. The wicked will be cast into Hell together with Satan and his demon/angels. The Saved will inherit Heaven and eternal life. Then Yeshua will turn everything over in submission to Father God Almighty. It is a fearful end, which the worldly mind rejects, along with God, Yeshua and all truth evidenced in scripture and life, but God will be shown just, loving, and altogether righteous while all evil is forgotten in the glory of Heaven’s splendor.
