GREAT QUESTION!
The kingdom of God will be in heaven. It is a government that will rule over mankind...no more earthly rulers.
The King will be Jesus for 1000 years in heaven. Jesus and 144,000 anointed followers who have been chosen from the earth in this new Jerusalem will rule over mankind...perfecting the ones that survive the great tribulation and Armageddon. The age will be young adults...healthy once again.
There will be a new earth...a cleansed earth where satan and his demon followers are in jail....the abyss for that 1000 years.
The earth will be brought back to a paradise and the righteous dead will rise with new young bodies and the unrighteous dead will be taught what God requires of them....if they agree they have a chance to live..if they disagree they will quietly be disposed of..
The people will live on the earth. It was made for humans.
There would be no use in making a new earth if everyone was going to heaven.......but heaven is for spirit creatures who render sacred service to God day and night.....while earth and the daily activities here will make humans very joyful.
we don't know yet if every baby born alive will survive because they are sanctified by their parents. If the parents are condemned to death we have to wait on Jehovah to decide what to do with them.
There will be no sadness in the new earth....Jehovah God says these former things will not be brought up into your heart.

I gave this a lot of thought and I do think it is a perfectly good question...Eternity makes age a moot point though! Our heavenly bodies will be ageless.
First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians (Bible, 1 Corinthians 13, verse 11)
When I was a child, I spake as a child,
I understood as a child, I thought as a child:
but when I became a man, I put away
childish things. For now we see through a
glass, darkly; but then face to face: now
I know in part; but then shall I know even
as also I am known.
The Bible does promise us that someday we will know everything that is a mystery to us now. There is also the promise that our loved ones and friends will know us, no matter what we look like...by our spirit

Well, the resurrection will include the righteous and unrighteous and all those faithful ones who died before Jesus will be resurrected as well, we all will be brought back to perfection young/old. No doubt our lenght of years will prove to be, but mankind was supposed to live forever in the beginning. Infants cannot provide for themselves. "The righteous will inherit the earth, and reside forever upon it."......and I'm not saying that infants won't be resurrected or make it through armageddon.

I think we will be exactly as we are. If we should be alive, we will be the age we have reached. If we are already dead, those bodies will restore to the time of death. Of course, no one knows, so that's just my guess. God bless.

God didn't give us an exact date. It could be tomorrow, it could be 80 years from now (or even more). No one knows when the rapture is coming.

I think we'll be the age we were when we died or when he returns and we all rise to meet him in the air. However old we are we won't have any pain or suffering.

If you don't want stupid answers, don't ask stupid questions, it is that simple.
Just how the hell would ANYONE know this in your mind?
FURTHER__-_There is no such thing as the rapture, and you are INSANE if you believe there is.

I tend to think, merely on my thoughts, that we'll all be one age, like 30.
We don't know really. The LORD chose to not reveal that to us. It is not important for us to know on this side of heaven.

I believe we will be mature adults in the prime of life. Guess we will just have to wait and see.

When I was a child, the Baptist minister always said (of every question asked) ... "Read the Bible. All the answers are there."
I kept reading it, but never found any answers.
