When the day comes and we get to sit down with Christ, wouldnt you equivilate that Jesus revealing all the secrets of Heaven and Earth to us would be like being a billionaire here in this earthly life?

Not at all. In fact that is almost ignorant to say that, if you are a true believer in god than you know that possessions don't matter and you get possessions from $. There for you are worshiping $ not god
I think you are trying to say that wouldn't talking to god be the greatest thing you could ever hope for. I think the better question is
Would being a billionaire even come close to the value of the knowledge from talking to god?

I wouldn't because it's a different type of satisfaction. If I were a billionaire I would have no end of material satisfaction and earthly comforts. But when I learn the answers to every question I've ever had then that'll be a spiritual satisfaction, that'll run much deeper. I'll have an unshakable inner peace. I feel serene, just thinking about it.

Yes. Pursuing the eternal knowledge of G-d, rather than temporal things like wealth, success, or a high position, is the wisest choice we can make in this life. But what you describe isn't comparable to being a billionaire, because billionaires have a finite amount of money. The knowledge of G-d is infinite. We can never fully understand Him, but that's what will make heaven so enjoyable. We get to look at Him for all of eternity as He continually unfolds revelation of Himself to us. The part that makes me absolutely flip out is that we can know Him now...we can get a head start, so to speak, on understanding Him. That's our eternal occupation.
Man. I gotta go pray.

i dont care about heaven. I know i'm not supposed to want things, but i do anyways. Ill take the billion dollars and me a jesus can hook later and talk about baseball. I feel rich, i am rich because I have my health and i am happy. But i would rather just have the real thing like lots of cash.

No. It is possible to be very wealthy without having money. That is more of a blessing than being a billionaire.

No, because to understand Christ you can't think in material terms, you have to think about love. If you think material ways, you'll never get what Jesus is all about.

I think I know what you mean, and yes. It'll be beyond our comprehension and a time of great joy. I have some questions I'd like to ask, like, Why was the mosquito ever created? lol

Wait, what are you talking about?
Jesus won't have to explain anything to us because we'll just automatically know.
