Exloring Life Eternal

Justin Long's "Prime Factors" of human existence based on the Gospel of Matthew:

These occur to everyone, at least once in their life, if not daily, weekly or monthly:
- hunger
- thirst
- need protection from the environment (shelter/clothing)
- sickness/wounds
- learning
- thinking
- trading/investing/earning/commerce/farming/etc
- communicating with & relating to other people
- dreaming, imagining, inventing, planning
- having emotions and feelings
- hoping for something better
- have a sense of God or the divine
- get tired
- travel
My theory is that, when a collection of people are transformed, every single one of these factors will be transformed as well. Life in the Kingdom must be different from life in any other place. Realizing that we will never have "ultimate Kingdom utopia" until Christ reigns, nevertheless we should be moving closer to that ideal since we should be living as much as possible as we would in that day.
