Ryan Daley looked at his surrounding environment. He had just died, saying his final words on Earth to Vicki. Ryan had died from injuries received in the Wrath of the Lamb Earthquake. Ryan was so pleased to be in heaven. He was glad that his fears of being arrested by the Global Community were gone. Ryan saw that Chaya Stein, another Young Tribulation Force member, had also died in the worldwide earthquake. Ryan embraced Chaya with joy, knowing that their suffering on Earth was over. Ryan saw the streets of gold and thousands of people walking on them. Ryan saw exquisite beaches and angels singing praises to God. Ryan saw Maxwell Stahley and Louise Stahley together. Louise had also been killed in the earthquake. Ryan embraced Maxwell and Louise.

"I'm sorry I couldn't take care of your daughter", Ryan choked out.

"It's not your fault, Ryan", Louise said. "You tried your best."

Maxwell gave Ryan a firm handshake. "Thank you for everything you did. You really cared about Darrion."

Ryan later saw Nina Ben-Judah and Dan Ben-Judah and introduced himself.

"It's unfortunate that we couldn't meet when we were alive on Earth", Ryan said. "I was looking forward to meeting you both. I'm really sorry about what happened to you…"

"It is fine", Dan said. "There is no sorrow now. What matters is that we are all together in this wonderful place, and we have been forgiven by God. Is my stepfather okay?"

"Tsion is fine", Ryan said. "He really misses you two."

"We feel the same way about him", Nina said. "We know he will serve Jesus well and lead others to the kingdom."

After Ryan finished speaking with Nina and Dan, Ryan walked on the streets of gold. It felt so wonderful. Ryan continued walking until he saw Bruce Barnes with his family. Bruce seemed overjoyed to see Ryan. Ryan and Bruce embraced.

"Good to see you again, buddy. Wish I could have you seen you much later, at the Glorious Appearing", Bruce said.

"It's the Tribulation. People are going to die no matter what. Besides, one of the four original members of the Young Tribulation Force was supposed to die at the two-year mark of the Tribulation."

"There was a high chance of that", Bruce said. "I noticed Chaya is here as well."

"Yep", Ryan said.

"Let me introduce you to my family," Bruce said. Ryan shook hands with them. They traded stories about their experiences on Earth with some tears.

Later Ryan walked on the streets of gold and noticed Irene Steele and Raymie Steele standing together and talking.

"Raymie! Mrs. Steele!", Ryan shouted.

Raymie and Mrs. Steele hugged Ryan. "I've prayed for you for a long time, Ryan. I'm glad to see my prayers have been answered", Raymie said.

"I'm so happy that we're in heaven together", Ryan said. "Your father and sister miss you, Raymie."

"I miss them too", Raymie said. "But one day, we'll all be together."

A short time later Ryan continued exploring heaven. Ryan then saw his uncle, Walter Daley, and his aunt, Evelyn Daley. Ryan raced to them and hugged them tightly.

"I've missed you both so much!", Ryan said.

"We felt the same way", Evelyn said. "We're so glad you finally came to the truth."

"I wish my parents were here", Ryan said. "I've moved on since their deaths, but it would have been nice if they were here too."

"I know", Walter said. "But God really helped you through your suffering and pain. You matured tenfold on Earth after the Rapture. I did take a peek at some of your adventures."

Later Young Tribulation Force member John Preston would join Ryan in heaven. Then Nada, a Jewish girl Judd dated briefly. Then Natalie Bishop, who had been executed by the Global Community after helping Vicki and her friends. Tom Gowin and Luke Gowin met Ryan for the first time in heaven after their deaths. John Preston's cousin, Mark Eisman, would be the last member of the Young Tribulation Force to die. Mark and Ryan would have an amazing reunion ahead.

But for now, Ryan would enjoy the sights in heaven and be comforted by God himself. Ryan had a pleasant experience speaking to Jesus for the first time.

"Well done, Ryan", Jesus said. "I am so proud of you."

Ryan and Jesus continued talking. Ryan was looking forward to the return of Jesus and the defeat of the Global Community. Ryan couldn't wait to see Judd, Vicki, Lionel, and Phoenix again.

Ryan would have an awesome eternity. An awesome eternity.
