Let me be very clear upfront we actually know very little about eternity. The Bible does not spell it all out simply because we have no need to know those details yet and most is beyond our comprehension.
With that said there are groups in eternity.
There are Israel and Church Saints. There are the Saints that are neither Israel or Church. There are the Innocents. All of which will be on the new earth.
There are the damned.
We know Israel and Church will be in the New Jerusalem. We do not know if the rest will be inside or outside the New Jerusalem.
We know the damned will be in the Lake of Fire.
There are also the Angels did not rebel and those that did.
And there are the Living Creatures. Flesh beings who are not angels but four of which are around the throne of God.
I believe the Bible teaches the four our representatives of many more such beings.
We have no idea where they will be.
The Angels had estates for the Bible. So we don't know if the Angels that did not rebel will have their estates for eternity. I suspect they will.
The fallen Angels will be in the Lake.
Finally there are the demons. The Bible makes it quite clear they are not fallen Angels. I believe they are fallen Living Creatures. They will be in the Lake.
The Saints will be glorified, meaning perfect sexless bodies that will not hunger, thirst, suffer illness, injury or need sleep.
There will be a wide avenue the New Jerusalem with a river running down and lined trees of life bearing 12 fruits which change every month.
The Avenue is made of pure gold, the 12 foundations made of precious gems and the 12 gates to the city each cut from a giant Pearl.
The city will be a 1,400 mile cube. Estimates say 20 billion people.
There will be no sun, moon or oceans.
We will have mansions, so obviously in contrary to what some think we will not be standing at the throne for eternity worshiping God.
I believe we will be free to enjoy the universe, what ever it will be like.
Getting bored it's hard to conceive of in that picture.
