To Those In Paradise Who Desire To See It,
God Can Show The Past Just As It Happened
If a servant of God in Paradise wishes, God can show him things from the
earthly life just as they happened. (God knows the truth.) For example, if a
person in Paradise asks God to let him see his dead dog alive again, his burned
house before it was destroyed, or the Titanic before it sank, God can show it all
to him even more vivid that it was before. For example, as the Titanic makes its
way on the sea, the fish surrounding it will all be in the same place as at that
moment and the passengers will be discussing the same things using the same
words. Or ancient great civilizations can be seen in the high point of their
splendor and wealth. A person who is curious about the Inca civilization can
see any period of this civilization whenever he wishes. Because every event
continues to be lived eternally with the same vividness in God's memory, the
person who wants to see an event will find everything present the same as it
was.
In one verse, God reveals that in Paradise people will have everything
they desire:
