My $0.02: the post above which mentioned "time shall be no more" was quoting (I think) Rev. 10:6 "that there should be time no longer". However, I think most other versions give this as "shall be no further delay".

And what about Rev 22:2? "In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."

…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.

To become an eternal being is to have always existed. Perhaps God is truly our Father. Perhaps our immortal souls came from God, are embodied in this temporal world for a time (to learn through suffering?) and then return to God like a spark returns to the Fire, like a breath returns to the air, like the prodigal returns to his father's house. Perhaps we are all incarnations.

Origen taught something along those lines.

Hmmm. If we are also infinite and eternal, it means we can know God.
“And turn their grief into song?" he replied. "That would be a gracious act and a good beginning."
