I will right after you answer my question honestly. What does the revelation say?

Your answer is right there in that revelation. The Spirit tells me to avoid your questions.
Tit 3:9
But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
Here is the remaining match.
2Ti 2:23
But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

Ecclesiastes 3: 19; Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless.
Ecclesiastes 9: 5-6; For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten. 6*Their love, their hate and their jealousy have long since vanished; never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun.
If one does not realise that Ecclesiastes, is Solomon's book of Satire, aimed at those who believed in neither life after the death of their physical bodies, or the resurrection of the dead, they might believe that man and dogs go to the same place in death, and that there is no suffering for the spirits of the unrighteous dead, nothing but sweet and eternal oblivion.
Yes, children do go to heaven, but not the unborn foetus' who have never taken their first breath, nor having begun to develop an independent spirit /mind.
For the flesh is of no use at all. Flesh and blood do not enter into the Kingdom of God, only the spirits/minds that develop within the bodies of flesh and blood.

Tell me what GOOD WORKS has this theif on the cross DONE between the time he was sinner who did not believe in Christ and the time he BELIEVED in Jesus as the Messiah, and the time Jesus told the sinner that because he believed Jesus was the Messiah he would be with Jesus today in paradise. The criminal was sentanced to death because he was convicted of a crime punishable by death by crucifixion. The first time this man met or even heard of Jesus was while he was hanging with his hands and feet nailed to a cross beside Jesus. It was literally impossible for this man to do any good works other than believe in Christ as Messiah before he died, because his hands and feet were nailed from the moment he believed until he died.
" One of the criminals who were hanged there kept deriding[a] him and saying, “Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” 40 But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41 And we indeed have been condemned justly, for we are getting what we deserve for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.” 42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into[c] your kingdom.” 43 He replied, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” -Luke 23:39-43
So please help me understand how your theory that children, who sadly die before they have had a chance to even live, do not go to heaven because they have not DONE WORKS? If this man literally was unable to do a thing in terms of any kind of good work but was STILL SAVED, and the Lord had mercy on him and saved him, then why would the Lord not have more mercy on a child who doesn't even have the capacity to reason or even understand much of anything.
Scientific studies have been done on babies under the age of about 1 year old. When you play peekaboo and you cover your face, those young babies don't have the mental capacity to understand that you are there but only hiding. It is called Object Permanence. So when you hide in peekaboo they think that you no longer exist because they cannot see you.
The point is, that even though we are ALL born sinners, and a baby is no doubt under the curse that we are all under since Adam and Eve sinned and we're kicked out of the garden. But babies that young do not have the mental capacity to understand that you still exist even though they cannot see you. And because God is LOVE and MERCY, if Jesus assured that sinner on the cross that he was saved because he believed, how much more mercy and love will God show for a baby who is not able to understand what sin or Jesus is?

Further more it says that it is by GRACE we are saved and NOT by WORKS. So this theory that a child can only be saved if it has done works, and that children do not go to heaven because they have not done any works is not what God tells us. If we are saved by grace then works do not matter to anyone's salvation, be it a child or an adult.
" For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast."
-Ephesians 2:8-9
