I mean eternity is a long time, especially toward the end.

You make an extremely astute statement: Eternity is forever. As mortals with a beginning and an end, we cannot comprehend that. So, once again, we turn to scripture for a better understanding.

But as it is written: "What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and what has not entered the human heart, what God has prepared for those who love him,"
1 Corinthians 2:9

So, what do we know? We know from those who have had a near death experience that they did not want to come back.

“So, what do we know? We know from those who have had a near death experience that they did not want to come back. “

Yes interesting but how “near” was death? And are you sure no one wanted to come back? No one?

So you say the bible says heaven is just wonderful and we in our finite human capacity can’t begin to imagine it. But trust what the bible says of heaven is true. Sorry it just does not move me. If the bible says heaven is great, okay fine, but I am in no way in a hurry to get there and nothing said by the bible about heaven has ever changed that.
