Do we have peace of mind in heaven?

To my understanding, Heaven is the spiritual realm where the Lord's spiritual family dwells, and the place of our Fathers throne.

Further, it's my hermeneutics we will only spend roughly seven years in Heaven. When we [the Raptured and Resurrected] come back with Christ at His second coming, the Earth will be our dwelling place during the millennium and permanently when the earth is refurbished and the New Jerusalem descends down.

As far as having peace in Heaven, that's an interesting question that concerns me. Stating your question differently; what are we going to think when we don't find many of our loved ones in Heaven? Our missed and neglected opportunities to share Jesus with them? How's that going to work out for us?

If I understand correctly and the chronology of events:

Revelation 21:4 (KJV) And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

By however means, our Lord is going to wipe away our sorrows, tears, crying and death. But, the chronology as I understand scripture, is this will not occur until after the millennium when entering eternity. Are we going to retain our memories of our lost loved ones, our regrets, deep sorrows and mistakes not sharing the Gospel with them, and having to think about that for a thousand years???

I'm just postulating a question I'm concerned about, that appears to be the case; and I hope I'm mistaken in my interpretations.

Heaven is the other dimensional abode of God, a spirit realm

as opposed to this physical realm. Scientists are discovering just how 

big this physical realm is.

Imagine how big eternity will be.

Heaven and the universe are in for an upgrade. A rebuild. A starting over point.

Heaven and Earth WILL pass away.

And in it's place the new Heaven-Earth where we will be with the LORD for all eternity 

to come.

Can't think of a better peace of mind than that.

Well said, and it will be glorious. 

What are your thoughts on the second part of the OP question, "Do we have peace of mind in Heaven"? In context of the Rapture / Resurrection; accompanying Christ at His second coming and going through the millennium here on earth. Revelation 21:4 in chronology, indicates to me our tears and sorrows will not be wiped away until after the millennium, when we enter eternity? Any thoughts?

Will there be golf?

NO! There could be some "tea times" but, I doubt we'll be shooting any eagles or birdies. The only 'slices' there will be is, maybe slicing some fruit from the Tree of Life. There certainly won't be any 'bogeyman' on par.

I believe God is a lot more benevolent than people give him credit for. I'm not sure we'd die if we saw him face to face. 

I'm thinking Moses might disagree with that?

Yes, we will experience emotions in heaven — emotions like love and joy because we are safely in God’s presence forever. The Bible says that heaven’s inhabitants declare to one another, “Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory!” (Revelation 19:7).

In the chronological events to come, where do you place Revelation 21:4?

The eternity-the New Jerusalem!! After the Millennium and the Great White Throne Judgement.

Yep me too. So.....  During the millennium, I take it our sorrows and tears will not be removed pertaining to our lost loved ones? What's your thoughts?

[R. Hartono]

Heaven is the beginning of anything created, i guess.

It seems I read somewhere that the Millennium is a time of teaching, but I can't remember where.  Do you know?

No I don't, but it stands to reason.
