Does Ecclesiastes 1:11 imply that we will not know people in Heaven?
This verse, taken in context, seems to be speaking generationally. Just as you and I know nothing of the situation, personalities, or daily life of our ancestors from thousands of years ago, so (if the Lord tarries) our generations hence will know (and care) little about our current lives.

Will I be an introvert in Heaven if I’m an introvert now, even if I wish I were extroverted?
Yes and no. There is reason to believe that there will be a wide spectrum of personalities in Heaven—including extroverted and introverted tendencies, but our social interaction with others will be perfected and free of comparisons, pride, and fear.

The Lord’s Prayer says “your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” What do you think it means to bring Heaven to earth?
One day, God’s new center of government will be the New Earth. This will be the ultimate answer to the Lord’s Prayer, “Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10, KJV).

Was Heaven created as a result of The Fall?

Will we eat good food in Heaven? How will it taste?
Our resurrected bodies will have resurrected taste buds. We can trust that the food we eat on the New Earth, some of it familiar and some of it brand-new, will taste better than anything we’ve ever eaten here.

What is the first, second, and third Heaven?
Usually, the first heaven is considered to be our atmosphere, the second heaven is the sky, stars, and galaxies we can see, and the third Heaven is paradise.

New Song, New Car, New Earth
By calling the New Earth Earth, God emphatically tells us it will be earthly, and thus familiar. Otherwise, why call it Earth?
