What either of those things are, nobody on the face of the planet could tell you.

So your argument is: maybe time is different and it doesn't feel like eternity? Sounds like a moving target to me.
But even so, you haven't really said anything... do we retain our consciousness (i.e. are we aware)? Are we judged? Do we do anything? Are we there forever (but time is different so it isn't really forever?
As for what happened before the big bang and what will happen after the big crunch, I would suggest a perpetual series of universes. It collapses into a single black hole that is so intense that it blows up (another big bang). Then expands until it runs out of steam, starts to collapse, and then another big crunch.
Rinse, repeat
