Scripture does in fact say we will go on to live with Jesus in heaven. Maybe not directly, but by understanding of the scriptures below.
Joh 8:23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
Joh 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
Scripture speaks of eternal life, that has to be spiritual life, not carnal.
Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
We know that Adam did not die carnally the day he ate, so it had to be a spiritual death.
Jesus, speaking to Martha.
Joh 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Adam ate of the tree, and he died spiritually. Since Adam passed death on to his children, no one has been born alive (spiritually). But if one is dead spiritually (all of us were) but believes, he shall live spiritually.
Joh 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
After a dead person lives and continues to believe, they shall never die. If we believe Jesus then we know that person is still alive spiritually.
How about his disciples sitting around the throne of his kingdom, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. That was not here on earth. I say was not, because it is past not future. The bible speaks of those that lived under law being judged.
Mat 19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
If his disciples are sitting spiritually with him around the throne and we can show that is in heaven, then we shall also spend eternity with him in heaven.
1Ki_22:19 And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
2Ch_18:18 Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.
Psa_11:4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD'S throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
Isa_14:13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
Isa_66:1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
Mat_5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
Mat_23:22 And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
Act_7:49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Joh 8:23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
Joh 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
