In Mark 12, Jesus says Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are alive. In Luke 20, Jesus says that even Moses pointed out that the dead rise. These things make the case for those that are saved going to heaven immediately when they die, you don’t have to wait for the resurrection at the end of times. It would seem that your spirit at least goes to heaven immediately. Remember Jesus told the man on the cross next to him, “Today you will be with me in Paradise.” Perhaps the body will be resurrected later at the end of times when God establishes a new world.
Note: It could be concluded that if no one marries after the resurrection, there will be no new children. Those resurrected with be God's children.
Concerning Angels, my mother always told me I would become an angel when I died but Mark 12 makes it clear that we will be LIKE the angels; not angels.
