I have always thought about the 'Kingdom of God' existing in the hearts and minds of the believers and that rather than waiting around for an end that might not ever come it is up to us to build it here and now and future generations to keep it cultivated. I suppose its more the 'Garden of God' we have to keep sowing and flowering :)

As for what awaits us when we die? I don't have an answer to that. I have always found the metaphysical questions and relationship between God, reality and 'heaven' to be deeply fascinating. For God to have created the universe they must exist outside of it and thus its boundaries, laws and limitations. If God reshapes reality, what happens to the rest of the universe? Was there any point to any of it?

Or do we have it wrong? The procedural generation of life by the rules of the universe could be inevitable. It would be arrogant of us to assume we are the only sentient species in the whole unimaginably vast universe; perhaps God also sent messengers to those planets too?
