Will Adam realize 6,000 years have passed when eternity begins?
No. Eternity is outside of time, and time is not relevant. When the redemption of the body takes place, Adam will think only a brief moment has elapsed and will not realize 6,000 years have passed. He will not be aware of the long passage of time because eternity operates differently.
Les explains that eternity is out of time, so time is not relevant. Even though Adam has been dead 6,000 years, when the redemption of the body takes place, Adam will think only that much time had elapsed and will not realize 6,000 years have gone by. Les also notes that our loved ones in glory are not walking streets of gold or singing hallelujahs because they are not yet in a body; the body has not experienced redemption and is still under the curse. As far as they are concerned, there have not been that many years.
