It hit me this morning when I read this in a post by The Irish Ram:
Compare this to, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
God's Kingdom is flourishing in heaven and the will of God is being done, salvation ever present.
It is not heaven that is fallen, it is Earth. We wake up on earth. In the Catholic faith we wake up each morning with the goal of building the Kingdom of God here on earth, with seeking and doing the will of God in our present lives.
Thinking that salvation is as The Irish Ram explains...
If you answered yes to those questions then you are going to be so happy when you wake up in Heaven

Thinking that salvation is as The Irish Ram explains...
...misses God's plan for Earth, misses Jesus' point of salvation for this entire planet. We are not meant to endure a fallen life on a fallen planet until we wake up in heaven. We, as God's children are builders, are creators of God's Kingdom here on earth, human leaders of the Way of Salvation here and now.1. Do you believe that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior?
2. Do you believe that God raised Jesus from the dead?
3. Do you believe that Christ died on the cross for your sins?
If you answered yes to those questions then you are going to be so happy when you wake up in Heaven
