Absolutely! Who in our short life spans has even BEGUN to do, see, learn, feel, experience, all there is?
I don't buy the argument that we need conflict and drama to "enjoy" life. Who enjoys a day when some major stress event comes into play and knocks you out of your equilibrium for the day, or the week, or longer?
Goodbye sin and corruption, and Hello HEAVENLY perfection... forever!
THE GLORY OF THE BELIEVER...
"For the Lord (that's JESUS) himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: THEN WE WHICH ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN SHALL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH THEM IN THE CLOUDS, TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR; and SO SHALL WE EVER BE WITH THE LORD. Wherefore, COMFORT ONE ANOTHER WITH THESE WORDS." - 1 Thess. 4:16,17
That verse applies to ALL BELIEVERS in Jesus Christ, not just a "little flock" (which is the Nation of Israel anyway, contrray to WT teaching). The "other sheep" are the LARGER of the two, and have a HEAVENLY hope and will have a HEAVENLY INCORRUPTIBLE body to enjoy eternity in.
1 Cor 15:52,53,54 - "IN AN INSTANT, IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and *WE* SHALL BE CHANGED. For this corruptible must put on iINCORRUPTION, and this mortal [must] put on IMMORTALITY. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory."
Does Christ get bored? He can zap himself from here to there and back, and everywhere in between, and to places we don't have a clue, througout all the galaxies, etc. We will be able to do the same... Believers will be caught up to be with the Lord UNTIL HE COMES BACK all the way at the end of the tribulation, and we will come back with him at that time (meaning, we will be able to operate/function in the heavenly realms AND the earthly realms). So that means you will have DOUBLE the area to investigate and enjoy forever.
"Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We KNOW that WHEN HE APPEARS, WE WILL BE LIKE HIM, because we will see Him just as He is." - 1 John 3:2
How many stars and galaxies have you visited yet in your life so far? Why cut yourself short?

PS: The earth WILL have a Kingdom with Jesus ruling as King DOWN HERE IN JERUSALEM, the CITY OF DAVID. Don't worry, the earth will NOT be run by the Watchtower Society and its "glorious ones" (elders, anointed, GB, FDS, etc.), but the very same believers who were "caught up to meet the Lord in the air" and who are the very same "saints" who come back with Him, are the same ones who will "rule with him for 1,000 years." So, then, YOU CAN BE ONE OF THE RULERS of the earth, and that's the "real" Biblical truth (forget everything the WT ever taught, and start fresh. IT's WORTH IT!)
