The Best is Yet to Come

Tell me Saints did these have their "best life NOW?'' 
the Best is Yet to COME!!!

HEBREWS 13-16
These all DIED in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were ASSURED of them, embraced them and confessed that they were STRANGERS and PILGRIMS on the earth. For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. But now they desire a better, that is, a HEAVENLY country. Therefore GOD is not ashamed to be called their GOD, for HE has prepared a city for them. 
HEBREWS 11:35b- 40
Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a BETTER resurrection. Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and imprisonment.They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted,were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented— OF WHOM THE WORLD WAS NOT WORTHY. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth. And ALL these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, GOD having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us.
