I have a hard time seeing cockroaches in a Terrestrial Kingdom. Certainly not in the Celestial :ymparty:

Re: WHY?
I think it is symbolic that there is always a higher truth to swallow up the current sphere of truth. The only way to move to a higher sphere is to be 'eaten' or die to the current sphere and then move up, just as animals eat each other on the food chain. Becoming born again can feel like being pulled out of the water, skinned and eaten. Hence, Jesus is a fisher of men. In the higher realms, the animals will not eat each other, and they will all be enjoyed. If you hate a certain animal, what characteristics does it have that scare or bother you? They are a clue to what you have not brought to the light in your own character. When your character is perfect, you won't project flaws on other creatures and you will have unconditional love for all creatures and the important role they play in creation.

Re: WHY?
So God's creations are so diverse that man will be confused upon studying how they were created so man can never come to be like God?

Re: WHY?
I have never had a cockroach problem when I lived with a space between my neighbors and me, and had a well and septic tank - and lived in a desert (so this may not apply to wetter climates; I don't know). It seems that they proliferate more where people live closer together and share a sewer system/water sources.
