Will we go to the new earth when we die or not.
jburic, If you consider closely, you will find that the New Earth is the same earth as we live on now, but with all wicked ones removed, Rev 21:3,4. There is really no reason for God to destroy the earth we live on now. There is nothing wrong with the earth, it is the wicked ones on earth that God will remove, not righteous people, Prov 2:21,22, Ps 37:29, Ps 104:5, Matt 5:5, Ps 115:16, Isa 45:18, Ecc 1:4. The earth will be transformed into a paradise, which will be as a new earth to the people living on it. This will be the same paradise that Jesus told the evildoer that died beside that he would be in, with Jesus, Luke 23:43 Notice that the New Heavens is the same thing as the Bride of Christ, Rev 21:1,2. Here the Holy City Jerusalem is the Bride of Christ. Jerusalem was the capitol city of God's chosen people, Rev 21:9. If you consider other places that the Bride of Christ is mentioned, you will also see that there are others that are mentioned as friends of the Bridegroom, John 3:29. Here the scriptures tell us that John the Baptist was not one of ther Bride, but was a friend of the Bridegroom. The Bride and rthe Bridegroom are married just before they bring on Armageddon, Rev 19:7,8, 11-21. These ones who make up the Bride will be Kings and Priests with Jesus, ruling over the ones on the earth who are friends, Rev 20:4-6. They will be part of the First Resurrection, Rev 20:5,6. They are resurrected to become immortal, 1Cor 15:51-54, so the SECOND DEATH, has no authority over them, Rev 2:11. Many of the friends of Jesus and the Bride will come out of the Great Tribulation, having the opportunity to continue living in the paradise earth, NEVER TO DIE, Rev 7:14. Billions of the dead will be resurrected back to earth during the Millenniun, The Thousand Year Judgement Day, Rev 20:1-3,6. During the Judgement Day all who are resurrected will grow to perfection and will have a final test at the end of the thousand years, when Satan is released from the abyss for a short period. Rev 20:3,6, 7. Satan will mislead some, and when they make an attack on God's people they and Satan will be destroyed forever, rev 20:7-10. The people living on the New Earth will live in a paradise, ruled over by the ones having part in the First Resurrection. Everyone will be granted everlasting life.:study:
