So, this world will inevitably pass away, and all the things of this life will be forgotten. I certainly hope that everyone is ready.
Now, I've been a hermit for most of my life, living in a small house in the middle of a thick forest, but among the few people I've interacted with in my life, it seems that not many hold steadfast to this;
In heaven, there is a cube-shaped teleivision that levitates, rotates, and displayes a picture on all four sides.
In heaven, there are cars with indestructable drivetrains that have infinite fuel and can go anywhere at any speed.
In heaven, there are robot drones and droids that will serve people however they are made to.
In heaven, there is infinite time to conceive of and build anything.
In heaven, one can use noclip and fly like they're in a video game.
In heaven, there is 'respawning'.
In heaven, there is levitating platorms, jet packs, portal guns, x-ray vision, and it is all completely harmless and holy.

Gods word is life, and it means so much more than what you see and feel and do physically right now. The hope of eternal life is permission to think of what it could become to the very ends of its ends, and the law establishes how it always will be lived.
Heaven is the place of ideals of ideals, the pure things we wish were in this world is what we should hope to find in the next one.
If you can imagine it, it can exist, and if you can't completely comprehend it, let God finish it for you, and present and petition everything to be and become perfect and holy in his sight.

Where in the bible are we told that in heaven there will be a cube-shaped television, indestructible cars with infinite fuel, robot drones and droids, respawning (whatever that is!), levitating platforms, jet packs, portal guns, x-ray vision? I have no idea what noclip is.

Or have I completely misunderstood your post? Is it a joke of some kind?

1 Cornithians 1:27-29;
but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world that he might put to shame the things that are strong. God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that don’t exist, that he might bring to nothing the things that exist, that no flesh should boast before God.

Jesus teaches to lay up treasures in heaven instead of minding the good things on earth, that the kingdom of heaven is within ourselves, and that ultimately with God all things are possible.

In Revelation 19:10, an angel of God literally says "the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy."
All the prophets of the bible didn't copy from manuscripts that already existed. They shared what they had faith was given to them.

Actually, heaven is an alternative reality beyond human ability to imagine very well (1Cor. 13:12),
which is why GW does not describe it in detail. The best we can do is to perceive how aspects of Christian
morality (Gal. 5:22-23, etc.) might be extended and improved toward perfection into eternity.

The only treasure I desire in heaven is the heart of the father
It’s interesting the phrase treasures in heaven are from teachings of Jesus and correlate to our hearts and where they are focused and also correlating to our willingness to share the material things in this world


“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:19-24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; and ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their Lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭12:32-36‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19:21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The things Jesus taught should be considered as concepts and lessons he was speaking there in that last place to a rich man . And he responded like this

“But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19:22‬ ‭KJV‬‬

tbis mans treasure was earthly treasure he had lived and amassed or inherited however but it mattered most to him when Jesus called so it caused him sorrow and he walked away from the lords invite to glory loving the money and possessions too much to give it away

who knows this man could have later repented of course but the lesson there we need to always make sure that Gods ways are first in our hearts . He hasn’t called everyone to tune and sell all we own but the lesson has always been with the lord money is just an object a tool we use it for good purposes and needs and also we can use it for bad purposes .

it shouldn’t be the source of our security , it shouldn’t be what makes us happy and sorrowful it shouldn’t be more important than the man who needs food on the corner or the kids who don’t eat regularly enough at church with a single mother who works hard but it’s not quite enough

air should be a way for us to help others at times when they need and we have plenty and shouldn’t be the source of all or selfish desires coming to pass ect it’s how we use money and possessions and how we value it in its place that matters

If we aren’t willing to share with needy folks there’s an issue inside

You are right, but to be honest, that wasn't the first thing on my mind when writing that.
I was comtemplating all the wonders of technology we have now, how they were all made by God, and I considered all the sci-fi and crazy software stuff that's out there, how it was also put here by God.
Taking into consideration that all things reflect the glory of God, yet knowing the things present are merely a shadow of the things we are to receive, I was hoping to help 'open the door' for what peple can expect to see in the next life.

so, everyone hears truth, and yet not listen, God, the Holy Spirit, comes as the wind to us all John 3. I see better than before, fuller in trust only to Father in risen Son. Growing in grace given to see and hear from Dad, from within, to know truth over error and remain harmless Matthew 10:16-20. Which, religion has removed from people, to have to go to Church and be under others, and do as they say, yes these do tell the truth, yet many do not do the truth and will use others under them as there scape goat. I have experienced this, I Left, when I heard God call "come out of there may people"
1 John2:27 is for us all to share in love to us all, simple, not confusing as religion has made it be, its what I see and did not always see it, listening to pastors, clergy and people recognized, that God does not recognize.
2 Corinthians 11:14
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Did, not God choose the foolish to confound the wise? God leads, not I, not anyone else trusting in God for all to see truth in love and mercy given all, not a few. Then share between each of us this love and mercy given us to share in care Gal 6:1-9
Galatians 6:9
And let us not be weary in well doing: for indue season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Therefore do not give up, except on self trying to do it. Let go, let God because God has done it for us all to walk in love and mercy to all and not be superficial anymore ever again. Telling the truth, I am not perfect and I can't be of me ever, I admit it, thank you Yet God is perfect in our stead, read Col 1:21-23. We are made as if never sinned, amazing grace given by God through Son to us all to stand in no matter what, at least me thank you
Time to trust God is good all the time as good is God all the time, even while in or going through any troubles here one earth first

There is no need for all that for what is the purpose in the spiritual realm and the Bible never mentions it.

That is not the purpose God has for the saints.

It is not going to be a place where we do things and have things like on earth to entertain us.

Rev 4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
Rev 4:9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
Rev 4:10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
Rev 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Rev 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
Rev 19:2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
Rev 19:3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
Rev 19:4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
Rev 19:5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.

The only thing saints are going to do in heaven is worship God.

Isa 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

At the New Jerusalem the saints and angels will not remember anything prior to that and will not remember the people they knew for they will be in glorified bodies and to remember them would be to know the earth which they will not.

We will not even think of levitating platforms, jet packs, portal guns, x-ray vision, and that other stuff at the New Jerusalem.

We will only worship and praise God and not indulge in an atmosphere like earth to entertain us but more advanced.

Of course, we will perpetually rejoice in God and never be seperated from him again. But idly worshipping him is definitely not all we're going to do.
There are quite a few instances throughout the scriptures which imply how life in the new world will fare:

Ezekiel 34:25 - "I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil animals to cease out of the land. They will dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. 26 I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing. I will cause the shower to come down in its season. There will be showers of blessing. 27 The tree of the feild will yeild its fruit, the earth will yeild its increase, and they will be secure in their land. Then they will know that I am YHWH, when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made slaves of them."

Isaiah 65:21 - "They will build houses and inhabit them. They will plant vinyards and eat their fuit. 22 They will not build and another inhabit. They will not plant and another eat; for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my chosen will enjoy the work of their hands. 23 They will not labor in vain nor give birth to calamity; for they are the offspring of YHWHs blessed and their decendants with them."

Plus in the very book you refer to,
Rev. 21:24 - The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth will bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. 25 Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there), 26 and they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it so that they may enter.

Jesus stated to not store up any treasure in earth.
He said to store up all your treasure in heaven.
The reason He said this is the revelation of treasure in heaven.
They just could not see it. Can you see it?
