It is a new beginning for all mankind. God's plan for the human race was one of peace and love. Now at the end of time and the beginning of eternity His plan has finally been realised. Mankind will enter into an eternal life with God. We have no way of guessing what lies ahead only eternal joy. For those who would not listen is eternal torment which to some seems hard but to every one was given a free will and a choice. We all made one and we all have to live with the outcome.
The new beginning will be totally new, as all memories of our life on earth will be forgotten. You can not take into eternity a memory of the old earth, who and what we were. All the former things are forgotten and all is made anew.
