Do you believe no one goes to heaven? Everyone sits in Abraham's bosom waiting for judgment
day then they go to heaven. But Rev.21:1; teaches new Jerusalem comes down from heaven,
to the new earth, so come judgment day we don't go to heaven but a new earth.

(Rev. 21:1) teaches no such thing!
If you do a word study you will find that the words, “new heavens and a new earth” are found 4 times in the Bible…(Isaiah 65:17, 66:22, 2 Peter 3:13, and Revelation 21:1)….You would do well to study all passages. Our “treasures” are in HEAVEN (Matt.6:19), our “hope” is in HEAVEN (Col. 1:5), our “citizenship” is in HEAVEN (Phil. 3:20), and our “inheritance” is “reserved” in HEAVEN (1 Pet. 1:3-4). NOT on earth as you claim. The earth and the heavens will be destroyed by fire (2 Pet. 3:10, 12). What is NOT destroyed is the soul of man…good or evil (Ez. 18:4) and the “heaven of heavens” (Deut.10:14, Ps. 115:16). God gave man the “lesser heavens”; if I may use that term, and the earth for man. But what God gave man; the heavens and earth, will all be destroyed by fire.
After Christ conquered both sin and death and was resurrected on the third day; after which later He ascended to be with our Father He “consecrated for us, dedicated for us, opened for us a NEW and living way, through the veil or curtain” (Heb. 10:20) which is tabernacle language saying that since Christ was the “forerunner for us” on our behalf (Heb. 6:20) we now have access to enter the holy of holies and our Father in the “heaven of heavens.” And we have John’s vision who seen the 144,000 (Rev. 7:4, 14:1), which is the whole of God’s people who represent “all Israel” (Rom. 11:26) standing before the throne and before the Lamb (Rev. 7:9) in HEAVEN.
Now really, RJ, you need to get this right…I am fearful of your teaching. We are more than happy to study with you, but unless you have a “tender and humble heart” (2 Kings 22:19) I am afraid you will never understand (Is. 65:12).
