Answer: Matthew 8:11 says that in the kingdom of heaven, many will sit with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For this to be true we must be able to recognize and know who we are sitting with, and therefore we ourselves must also be recognizable. From this pasage it can be deduced that at least after the resurrection from the dead we will be recognizable by others because we will be in a bodily existence once again.

I don't think we will either. It doesn't seem logical. Heaven is suppose to be this place filled with peace and happiness. What if you got there and found out one of your children didn't make it, or your parents, your wife, husband, brother or sister? Where would the happiness be then?

Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? Tit. 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if you got there and found out one of your children didn't make it, or your parents, your wife, husband, brother or sister? Where would the happiness be then? Of course we will know each other! God is a God of relationship! He created family because He is a God who loves family! We will all know each other precisely because we ARE family--God's family! Furthermore, I believe we will instantly know those who are strangers! Regarding the sadness that we would feel when we must live forever without those we love, I am sure we will mourn bitterly, as there will be tears...but He will wipe them away! That is a promise!

I don't think we will have a physical body...we will just be spirits of the Lord (similar to Angels). I know that here on earth the idea of not being with those that we love is really scary...but there is no fear or upset in Heaven...we will have our Heavenly Father and all will be well.

I believe that EVERYONE will be known to everyone else. Heaven will be a place of not just friendship, but of relationship; we will all be family. During the Transfiguration, when Jesus took three of his disciples up the mountain, and saw Moses and Elijah there, I think that through the power of the Lord, his disciples instantly knew who the two figures were (Moses and Elijah) - even though they had no inkling of what the two "strangers" looked like. I believe it will be the same for all of us in heaven. No one will have the body they held in life (so we will not look like we used to anyway), but we will have the Spirit of the Lord shining so strongly on us, the Light of God shining so strongly upon us, that we will be instantly recognizable to one and all. Our eyes will be opened to more than we could ever imagine. And I think it is THAT - the Light of God - that will make us recognize each other.
