I personally want to be saved from being an angel. It - angelic life - is not my kind of salvation.

The passage says equal with Angels, not become one.

Angels are more real than humans, though most humans think differently.

Please clarify your point.

Well if you are suggesting that my idea is a delusion you just may well be correct. So, er, let me go on...

In Revelation The church is referred to as the elect. It may be because certain humans are being ELECTED by the angels to become their authorities (or rulers or judges) in the Kingdom of Heaven. Remember, a sizeable number of angelic "seats" are open because many were vacated. Just like we elect people we feel will protect and not abuse us the angels watch us closely and perhaps all "vote" for us. Of course, this part would assume that the "elect" is a portion of the whole body. Like the BRIDE I feel is a select group out of the whole body.

If anyone wants me to stop I will.

The chosen are called "the elect of God", not of the angels.

Well it is written that we will even judge the angels so I am not suggesting we BECOME angels...only take their "place" whatever that is. Remember we are not given every detail about anything.

Also...
"it has not yet been revealed" what we shall become.
In my wildest fantasies I see us each being given a solar system that contains all of the chemicals for building life. We will be given a chance to be creators. We will create environments and creatures on these planets we will "own" or rule over. There will be millions of Garden-of-Edens but with one thing missing...the serpent!
My planets are going to contain plants and animals that emit beautiful smells and sing praises to YHVH day and night. We will be loud and proud.
