What if?

I had a thought last week I've been rock tumbling at level one grit in my brain. I think it's ready for stage two.

What if the Telestial, Terrestrial, and Celestial kingdoms are all on Earth at the same time, and largely in the same places? But the thing that make up the Terrestrial Kingdom is basically like going to church, and the Celestial Kingdom is basically like going to the temple?

So for the most part we're all in heaven together, regardless of what kingdom we're a part of, unless there's some kind of meeting we're supposed to go to? And the separation between kingdoms isn't nearly as much of a big deal as we've been led to believe? 

What if it's a differentiation in responsibilities and tasks, rather than in physical space?

What if there was never, ever going to be empty seats at Sunday dinners in heaven, regardless of what any of us did?
