What age will everyone be in Heaven?

Question: "What age will everyone be in Heaven?"

Answer: The Bible does not specifically answer this question. Will babies and children who die still be babies / children in Heaven? What about elderly people who die, do they remain elderly in Heaven? My guess is that babies are given a resurrection body (1 Corinthians 15:35-49) that is “fast-forwarded” to the “ideal age”, just as those who die at an old age are "re-wound" to the ideal age. I do not think there will be any children or elderly people in heaven. What is the ideal age? I do not know, again, this concept is not specifically Biblical. I would guess around 30. Some guess 33 since that is approximately the age Jesus was when He died. 1 John 3:2 declares, "Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is."
