How do you know you'll still be you when you get to heaven?

RE: How do you know you'll still be you when you get to heaven?
Hi Esq,
Remember, I said no one gets the dates.
In general, prophecy from the Bible gets understood after it comes to pass.

The Jews had a puzzle about their Messiah,
Born of a virgin, out of Egypt, born in Bethlehem of Ephratah (there were 2 cities named such), from the lineage of David, etc.
They were given the exact timing he would come- from the decree to rebuild Jerusalem, yet they tripped over the outcome.

From the Bible, there were a couple people aware of the timing of their visitation.
One of the priests and his wife. That's it.

Today, out of 7 billion people there are a similar percentage of watchful people aware of where we are in time.
Unlike the OT folk, we do not have a word about the exact time of visitation.

A plus for you guys is when we leave- you will know what you need to do.
A negative for you guys is you will have to endure the worst time imaginable-
Because you (like the Jews of Old) missed the time of Departure. Just as in the days of Noah.

Jesus said it would be like the days of Noah when He COMES.
Noah went UP over the flood.
He then said it would be like the days of Lot when He is REVEALED.
Two different concepts.
Lot stayed on terra-firma and was removed from the place of destruction, but lost everything.
Lot = Jesus' revealing Himself to the nations at His 2nd Coming.
Again the sequence- a departure (the Rapture) first, then judgment falls.

I want to add here, that the judgment to come will be in response to the increasing evil (we currently observe), perpetrators of violence and judgment on the beast system in place now and increasing.
