The Bible does speak of people with different languages all praising God together in heaven. This suggests some ethnicity will remain, though I would expect these differences to dissipate over time.
Not sure really since there were people who didn’t recognize Jesus at first. I do believe we’ll be able to fly when we get new bodies and a new earth!
I think we retain our ethnicities in heaven. But others point out "new bodies."
So, do you think we retain our ethnic identities in heaven? And why or why not?
Language is most intriguing to me and we can see on the day of Pentecost that they were kept distinct. But the unity of all believers worshipping with one language is appealing too.
If some from every tongue, tribe, and language will be before the throne, then I must conclude that they will still retain their tongue, tribe, and nation.
Revelation speaks of "every tribe, tongue, people, and nation."
I assume you refer to the following:
Revelation of John 5:9-10It seems like the focus is the kingdom of God is coming from all of the world, not that the groups of people are recognizable.
And they sang a new song, saying, Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.
