Regarding Mark 10:30, an interesting counterargument to my original post would be the text בעלמא דאתא ("in the age to come") is actually referring to the current age of Christianity on earth (i.e., 32AD through the present). 

In other words, as you believe in Yahshua the Messiah right now, then חיא דעלמ ("life of the age/world") has come to you right now.

Mark 1:15, "The time is complete. The kingdom of אלהא has arrived. Repent and believe in the gospel."

Matthew 10:7, "And as you are going, preach and say 'The kingdom of heaven has come near."

This counterargument to my Mark 10:30 theory is a logical possibility, as the text of Mark 10:30 is talking about "houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and fields" – we tend to associate these things with our terrestrial experience here on the current earth rather than a future in heaven.   

With that said, I also know from scripture that heaven & earth are mysteriously intertwined -- "...let Your kingdom come, and Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven...".  So even in this alternate theory of Mark 10:30, the current Christian church age on earth would also be reflected in heaven.  And it still emphasizes the greater point that we live from world/age to world/age.

I wonder quite literally, 'just what on earth is going on up there'?
