[audit]

I am studying Torah these days (just reading BeReishit slowly, and picking Rabbi and Sages interpretations on things that are totaly unclear).

One Rabbi's explanation using a very nuanced analysis of verbs in the chapter about creation [1].

Is that the two things that will remain forever are: light and a human.

Not Earth, not animals, or anything else that was mentioned.. but just those 2 things: Light and Human.

What form this will be in, how -- we do not know.

In early sections, until Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden -- they did not have skin, so it is understood that they were souls.

May be that's the form that humans will be in ... , do not know.

The analysis he was using was around how a verb (in ancient Hebrew, not in translations) was used to indicate an 'Intent' and then how another verb used used to declare 'completion' of a task.

The 'completion' in that section was described for different things differently:

' it was so', 'it was good' , or no completion was explicity stated.

There was also difference in 'initiation' verbs for example: 'Let there be', 'let us .. '

I do not remember all the combinations. But the Rabbi said that only two things had the 'initiation' and the 'completion' patterns that indicated that those things would last forever.

It was light and a human.

Sorry could not offer bette recollection here.
