Oh a revelations word adder.
What part is not clear here?
Rev 18:19-22
Please start interpreting this already if you insist on the bible as Fantasy.

No, I find the Bible is Not fantasy at all, but clear as 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says ALL Scripture is God inspired.
As the Bible clearly promises that ' there is going to be ' a resurrection.... at Acts of the Apostles 24:15.
Revelation 21:4-5 clearly assures us that ' death will be No more.... '
That is clearly in harmony with 1 Corinthians 15:26 that the 'last enemy death' will be brought to nothing.
And clear as Isaiah 25:8 wrote that God will swallow up death forever....
When something is swallowed up it is gone forever.
Via the resurrection Jesus will bring an end to death - Revelation 1:18.
 
What if you never got old, and there were always new things to experience, like maybe your progeny? And they stayed young- looking like you? And there were no real problems?
That would get boring in the first two millennia. No problems? Who wants that? The only thing that keeps me on my toes in this life is my problems. And there is no way there will always be new things to experience because of POSSIBILTIES, they are not infinite. There are only a certain amount of thing that one can see or do.

When I am old and tired of this bull****.

Since those living under Christ's coming millennium-long day of governing over Earth will Not grow old......
Then, if feeling like Job felt at Job 33:25 to be released from the aging process, and one's flesh being even fresher than what it was in youth, then would one never be aging old and tire but be in vibrant health.

They won't get old but they'll be bored to tears.

Even now, I never tire of seeing those I love, and never tire of doing things with them.
There are some people that hearing their voice makes my ' heart ' feel warm and figuratively smile.
I always look forward to seeing loved ones again. Also, I never tire of my favorite foods especially dairy foods.
Since we don't know what God knows, then how can we be sure possibilities are not infinite.

Surely you never been a parent.

is resurrection correct? is our ego so important that it will be resurrected and live forever?

What if what the Bible says is True? What if there is an Afterlife that is Eternal? The people who deserve their Hell, go to their Hell, and the people who worked hard for their Paradise, go to Paradise?

Since people will Not be hampered by the aging process, then that means vibrant health and with perfect human health one can choose to do what interests them. That does Not mean a time will come when there will be No lack of interest. Some people I have met while traveling I look forward to being together again with them.
If you could meet everyone on Earth, would it be boring to meet everyone again a second time around or third, etc.

Not even the parent part, without parents I got to choose a best friend's family as family or parents.
I look forward to seeing a number of them again on Resurrection Day meaning Jesus' millennium-long day of governing over Earth in righteousness. Plus, look forward to seeing parents and grandparents etc. at that time.

Mmmm. Maybe, might be a stretch. Jesus, as Christ, showed us the nature of our bodies, and saved us from the fear of death. Eat the bread, drink the wine. I know, I know, takes a lot of wine sometimes.

Interesting take on it. I don't know about terms like "the nature of our bodies," sound hippie to me. Jesus was resurrected before the majority of us with a new body. The same will apply to the rest, I would think.

I think you're limiting yourself. Your progeny will always have progeny, possibly on other planets....you would not want to meet them? And that's just one aspect!

There is a BIG difference between the ' afterlife ' teaching an resurrection.
Afterlife teaches a person is more alive at death than before death.
A live person does Not need a resurrection but a dead person needs a resurrection.
Resurrection teaches a future hope of being restored back to live life again.
That is because the Bible teaches the dead know nothing as per Ecclesiastes 9:5.
Know nothing but sleep as per Psalms 115:17; Psalms 146:4 John 11:11-14.

Also, please keep in mind there is a non-biblical hell teaching of forever burning which is unscriptural.
That false religious-myth teaching of torture forever is Not taught in Scripture.
Please notice at Revelation 20:13-14 that after everyone in biblical hell (grave) is ' delivered up' (meaning resurrected out of biblical hell) then, emptied-out hell is cast vacant into a symbolic ' second death ' for vacated hell.
So, No one remains in hell/grave. Wicked people are destroyed forever - Psalms 92:7 - extinct.

I suppose one could say Jesus worked hard for paradise by telling others about God's kingdom of Daniel 2:44.
God's kingdom government was the theme of Jesus' preaching as per Luke 4:43. That is why Jesus could teach that humble meek people will inherit the Earth. A beautiful paradisical Earth as Eden originally was.
 
If you could meet everyone on Earth, would it be boring to meet everyone again a second time around or third, etc.

Meeting them for the millionth time would be boring. And what would we have to talk about after the 10,000th time? And since the would be happy all the time like a bunch of zombies on Zoloft, who would care? You are describing an eternal mental institution with bunch of drugged out zombies running around...what person in their right mind would want that? Not me!

I am a parent and sometimes I can't stand looking at my kids, the thought of spending eternity with is nightmarish.

To me when God resurrected Jesus, then God resurrected Jesus back into his pre-human heavenly spirit body.
That is why after Jesus was resurrected he used different materialized bodies to appear to his followers.
Some people like those of Luke 22:28-30 will be resurrected in a spirit body, but most people, the majority of people, will be resurrected in a healthy physical body. In other words, they will be the same person but in a perfectly healthy physical body.
 
What the f*ck?
Children can and do get on their parent's nerves and it is normal for a parent to get angry or disgusted and not to want to be around them. Usually for me when I get that way it "Go to your room and I don't want to hear a peep until I call you". It is normal.

Since the Bible speaks of gaining human perfection, then at that time I would think even those who get on our nerves won't any more. There are people who have died who I don't care to see again, but if they prove to be wicked after they are resurrected they will then be gone forever as per Psalms 92:7.
