Shouldn't be too many more.

Lets say we are at the day when the last person dies. We are all of us standing in the presence of god. What do you believe will be revealed? What was the point of a physical realm that was drop of water in the bucket of time. I am just curious of some of the thoughts of others that they feel might be a revelation of-sorts. what do you think god is going to reveal to us?

We are told that every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

That we were given this life as that we may freely choose where/who we wanted to spend eternity with.

Well, there is an infinite universe out there and we have an infinite amount of time to live, so my hope is that he reveals a fleet of brand new star ships and tells us to boldly go! (If this is anything close to what happens, dibs on the "Enterprise.")

Um, that's not how it works.

The Judeo/Christian expectation is for God to fix up the physical creation and the dead to be resurrected into that.

please re-read my question. I am not asking for facts i am asking for your creative opinion.

An ideal that i used to literally fantasize about :
Everything That god said was coming soon. he was talking to everyone alive at that time, and the meaning in my mind is: He is telling everyone it happens when they die.

Heaven is a place where all humans will go, maybe even all animals. I think we all stand in gods presence, and god will reveal what the devil is. what and why the earth and flesh had to exist. I think he will show us "this is what happens when you choose evil and than everyone by choice can take the water of life or even choose the to go with satan. I think in the end, god will be like " come anyone wants to live good in peace and safety, "now that they know evil, i have won them to myself forever."

Here is an idea i use to fantasize about god. It is not biblical so don't read as if it where facts.

About what?

Your question was in terms of the physical creation being "a drop in time", but that is completely opposed to the Christian hope that looks forwards to the renewal of that whole physical creation.

Dear christtoevo. You have given us a lovely ending to the Great Mystery, but this could never happen, "God congratulating Himself: " Now that they know evil, I have won them to myself forever." God will know, that to know evil, will never change us. The only thing that will change us: Having learned that Love freely given will change us into the men and women, which God wants to live with for eternity. Greetings from Emmy, sister in Christ.

I think the purpose of this life is to answer these very questions. NOW is the time to ask them! One way of looking at what will be revealed is, who had (already) been won to the Lord forever?

Seeing the devil for who he is is no big deal. Now beholding G-d?!? That's something else!
