Christians, how do we serve God in heaven before the end times when the new Jerusalem descends?
We are now living in the end times. The how is basically imitating the lives, ways and spirituality of union with God. Like Jesus and Mary. Catholic Saints like Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul are men and women who followed Jesus in love the most perfectly so that they can be seen as the best examples of how to do it. They are our brothers and sisters who succeeded in the faith and God has proved to the church they are in heaven by evidence he has answered prayers to them by doing miracles in answer to those prayers. They are persons the Lord gave many special graces to in life to make them shining lights for the rest of us to be encouraged by and have examples to follow. Experts in divine love. JWs have a lying false prophet who made his own religion by taking the Gospels and changing it as he liked. Miracles given through prayers to Saints prove JWs are lying with false teachings. The way to serve God until then is simply living in obedience to Jesus’s commandments to love as he lov

The dead who were not part of the first resurrection will remain in their graves until the thousand years are up (Revelation 20:4-6). Satan will be alone on the earth (Rev. 20:1-3). There is no one for him to tempt because the wicked were slain “by the sword of Him that sits upon the horse, which sword proceeds out of His mouth” (Revelation 19:21). This sword is doubtless what is spoken of elsewhere as “the spirit of His mouth” and “the breath of His lips,” with which the Lord shall slay the wicked at His appearing and kingdom (2 Thessalonians 2: 8; Isaiah 11: 4.)
