Medieval philosophers usually thought we would all be 33,the ideal age, the age of maturity,as of Christ's earthly maturity.I take it this is symbolically accurate:we will all be fully mature.Infants who die prematurely will be given,by God (perhaps through the mediation of their own parents!),all the maturing they missed on Earth.Geneticists say that the aging process is not inevitable;that a live organism could theoretically be immortal,never age,never die.Cancer cells do not die unless they are killed or their host dies. The aging and dying process began at a certain time in our history,after the Fall.God did not make death, but he unmakes it.In Heaven no one will be old.Yet in a sense everyone will be both old and young, as a reflection of the God who is the Alpha and Omega, oldest and youngest,"beauty ancient yet ever new."Even now we sometimes see the wisdom of old age in the musing face of a baby or the eternal freshness of youth in the twinkling eyes of the very old.

Raptured poeple can not came back over age 33. They will be between 28 and 33.
Whether it's a baby that dies at three years of age or it's a person who lives to be 90 and dies, we will all be between 28 and 33 years of age. What? How do you know that? I'm not basing it on I John 3:2, when we see Jesus we'll be like him.
Then on what is it I’m basing this? DNA. We're releasing prisoners all over the nation now who have been found innocent as they have studied their DNA, and boy am I going to tell you some exciting things about DNA. But the DNA within every human being, according to optimal development for functioning purposes, never ages beyond 33. So whether it's that little baby or whether it's that 90-year-old, when we hear the shout come up hither, Revelation 4:1 and we're snatched away in the twinkling Of an eye, I Corinthians 15:52, at that moment our bodies are raised, but the DNA is brought back from the dead, cannot be over 33 years of age. 28 to 33. Wow! Isn't that a wonderful thought for the future!

There will be no age in heaven because there is no time. We will no longer have physical bodies, either.
Alpha and Omega is not the same as oldest and youngest. God doesn't say "I was the alpha and will be the omega. He is both the beginning and the end simultaneously. This explains the question of "If God created everything, who created God?" There is no "before" in relation to God. Therefore, he did not need to begin.
The universe, as we know it, is far from infinite. Neither is time. The physical dimension is nothing more than a bubble inside the infinite spiritual "dimension." That spiritual dimension is eternal. Not everlasting, but eternal. The difference is that eternal is atemporal (without time), whereas everlasting is a non-stop continuation of the passage of time.
So in summation, we will have no age -- neither young or old, because there will be no time. There will be no pain because we will have no physical existence.
God bless you, and may you always continue to keep your eyes on the prize.

Spirits in heaven do not have a flesh and blood body so it is not any age. It is basically ageless. However, the bible shows a great crowd of persons living forever on the earth which at that time will be a paradise. They will grow young again and Job says their flesh will be fresher than in youth. That is the hope most of us have, to live forever on the earth. (Psalm 37:9-11) 9 For evildoers themselves will be cut off, But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth. ו [Waw] 10 And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. 11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. (Psalm 37:29) 29 The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it. (Genesis 3:19) . . .. For dust you are and to dust you will return.”

Some people's idea of heaven involves adults, some people's idea of heaven will be children. Either way, somehow, they are both right.
More importantly, however, why do you think that going to heaven necessitates remaining a human, or in one specific human form? If a paraplegic goes to heaven, would they suddenly grow functional legs, effectively changing them as a person?

And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

It appears that you answered your own question. We are supposedly supposed to be the age of Christ. Aging ceases to exist in Heaven.

The bible doesn't say, but 33 sounds good, since Jesus lived 33 years in earth.

It's rare that I dream of people that I have known that have passed on, but coincidentally they all appear to be in their early 30's, regardless of the age they were when the passed on!
Hmmm.......?!?!

actually, only the "annointed" ones or the 144,000 are able to enter heaven. the "great crowd" which will be the ones to survive the great tribulation and armageddeon will live onto paradise here on earth.
