First, may I say.. good use of the word "plethora"! Now to be serious. I don't know the answer. I think only God knows. Whats important to know is if your loved one was saved, and you are saved, that you will both be in Heaven. Look, God has it figured out... it's just us in our human minds who want to know all the details. Truly, no human knows the wonders of Heaven, so how could we know the details? I will however, give you a song I ran across the other week. It is so powerful to me. It's called "I saw the Lord". The song is wirtten through the eyes of a person who is approaching Heaven. It was written by Dallas Holm. The 1st verse has the implied senario of someone who was caught up with the second coming of Christ. The 2nd verse is written through the eyes of one who was awakened from their"sleep". The chorus goes;"And I saw the Lord, He was high and lifted up, and rightfully adored, and I saw the Lord... and He saw me. You will know God is God! Heaven is built around His presence! The authors in the Bible, and the people who saw Heaven in visions knew immediatly that they were in Heaven, AND who God was. Personally, I think He is such a way that it will be impossible to not know Him. Don't worry about what this person and that person say we humans will know when we get to Heaven. No one knows more then what the Bible says. Be Blessed, Exalted!
