In Heaven, how will we reconize family members once we get there? Do kids & babies reconize their parents?

Question

In other words, if a baby and/or a kid dies before growing old or into an adult, goes to Heaven, & the parent[s] follow years later, will they reconize each other even with that new body? Does the kid and/or baby continue to grow into an adult while in Heaven waiting for its parents? As all receive a new body, would the kid and/or baby's body be full-grown? If not, what's the purpose for having adults, kids, and babies in Heaven if the kids & babies aren't grown up?

Answer 1

I think we will all know each other as if we had always known each other. We may not recognize people as our mom or spouse or best friend, but we will know we had some association with them. Consider in the gospels at the Transfiguration where Moses and Elijah appear in the sky, the disciples instantly recognize who it is. Jesus did not say, "James, meet Moses". They knew who it was, even though they had never met, never saw any paintings bearing the likeness of Moses, etc.

I could go on about something really philosophical but it would be exceeding the question you asked.

Answer 2

That is just the problem with everyone thinking that they are going to heaven...God created the earth for humans, the heavens for his myriads and myriads of spirit creatures. You cannot see spirit creatures. We are not spirits trying to be humans, we are humans...God originally created humans with the capability of living forever, that is why in the Garden of Eden, it was a consequence for disobedience. If Adam and Eve were going to die anyway, then why would God have told them that was the consequence for disobedience? The Bible teaches that only a limited number of people are going to heaven, and they will have the honor of being kings and priests and judges along with Jesus. They will rule from heaven over earthly subjects...humans on earth. With diligent study of the bible you can learn of God's wonderful plans for obedient mankind's future.

Psalm 37: 9-11, 29: "For evildoers themselves will be cut off,
But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth. 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. 29 The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it."

Matthew 5:5: "“Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth."

The Bible, however, holds out a much different hope. As we have previously noted, the Scriptures indicate that it is possible to be reunited with your dead loved one in the near future, not in an unknown heaven but right here on earth under peaceful, righteous conditions. And at that time humans will have the prospect of enjoying perfect health, and they will never have to die again. ‘But surely that is wishful thinking!’ some may say.

What would it take to convince you that this is a sure hope? To believe in a promise, you would need to be certain that the one making the promise is both willing and able to fulfill it. Who, then, is it that promises that the dead will live again?

In the spring of 31 C.E., Jesus Christ boldly promised: “Just as the Father raises the dead up and makes them alive, so the Son also makes those alive whom he wants to. Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his [Jesus’] voice and come out.” (John 5:21, 28, 29) Yes, Jesus Christ promised that millions now dead will live again on this earth and have the prospect of remaining on it forever under peaceful, paradisaic conditions. (Luke 23:43; John 3:16; 17:3; compare Psalm 37:29 and Matthew 5:5.)

Answer 3

The Bible tells us that we will have perfect bodies, minds, etc. in Heaven. As such, we will all be in perfect form knowing everybody!! God knows what our situation is when we die. I think He will make exceptional provisions for all of us. Recall how Jesus must have looked after being beaten and crucified. He wouldn't wasn't to have such a beaten up, painful body in Heaven. He said He was going to His GLORIFIED body. Glorified body'''we will have such a body too. Old, sick, ailing, deformed, retardation will all be rectified in Heaven. People will have no faults or problems there. We will know and love each other.

Answer 4

We will know. Yes the kids will recognize their parents and family. Yes the child continues to grow until they are grown.
I had a sister that died at four and a half months old and many years later my Aunt who was dying said she seen my sister and spoke to her and she was adult.

Answer 5

How would you feel if you got to Heaven and someone you were expecting to see wasn't there? Like a family member: mom, dad, sister, brother, cousin? How cool would that be?

Answer 6

Forgive me if this sounds harsh, yet why are you "vacationing" your 6 month previous daughter? despite the reason being, i think of you in straight forward terms replied your very own question. I certainly do no longer say that to be propose, yet while she would not see you all of the time, she's unlikely to be waiting to bond with you.

Answer 7

There won't be any problems like that. You don't have to worry about parking either. The Holy spirit will bring "everything to our rememberance" -John 14:26.

Answer 8

I think that we will know eachother, and know those that we recognize from history. I wonder at all the stories that we will hear right from the people who lived it. I think that any question that we might have about history will be answered. All those mysteries that we grew up with, will be explained.

Answer 9

Yes I believe they will remeber them! Because heaven isn't about any age or anything of this world!

Answer 10

Yes in heaven age of death will not matter.
