In Heaven, we will recall some—likely most or all—of our lives on earth.  This is among the most controversial beliefs I’ve presented in my books, yet there’s clear scriptural evidence for it.

When we die we go to be with Christ (II Cor. 5:8) which is wonderful. But we are still incomplete, in a pre-resurrected state, anticipating Christ's return to earth, and our resurrections. The place we'll live forever will be where God comes down to dwell with us, on the New Earth (Revelation 21:1-3).

Throughout the book, "intermediate" Heaven was changed to "present" Heaven.

Unlike God and the angels, who are in essence spirits though capable of inhabiting bodies (John 4:24; Heb. 1:14), man is by nature both spiritual and physical (Gen. 2:7).
