Longstanding watch


I believe the Marines have a song in which the lyrics declare that the gates of Heaven are guarded by United States Marines.  Okay.  So how long do you suppose each watch is?  Four hours?  Eight hours?  A hundred hours?  Do they even have hours?  As far as we know, Heaven doesn’t spin or move around the sun to give Heaven-dwellers days or nights, or years, so it begs the question; does one sleep in Heaven?  And if so, how long are the nights?  And who guarded Heaven before 1798?
