For believers: Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?

I've heard it said that the half hour silence in heaven (Rev 8:1) was from the shock of seeing who made it.

Heard it from the preacher, lil. We DO talk about the danger of self-righteousness and exclusivity in the church. My preacher also said that Christians are the only ones who shoot their own wounded.
Made us think.

What makes me think is that John the Baptist is supposed to have been the greatest man born of a woman and yet it's claimed that he's less than the least in heaven!
So it's not all about asceticism and holiness, then?
Thank gawd for that!!!

With the rule that the first will be the last the turnover must be high and fast up there...
Perhaps it's the principle of perpetual movement in the universal merry-go-round. The meta-physics of "love", à la Dante ("l'amor che muove il sole e l'altre stelle").
