"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth
were passed away; and the sea exists no more." Rev 21:1
NEW EARTH
New Earth is not for the Bride of Christ namely, the Overcoming Church, which will be raptured at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Introduction
God created the first heaven and first earth in the dateless past. Gen 1:1
This present earth is not the original earth created by God. II Pet 3:6, Ezek 28:12-19 & Isa 14:12-14 The present earth was formless and void. Gen 1:2 Therefore we look for a new heaven and new earth. II Pet 3:13 Features of the New Earth
"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold I make all things new." Rev 21:5
New Earth is Eternal and therefore will not perish.
It is not the present earth renovated.
In New Earth there will not be any more sin, death or curse . Rev 21:4, 22:3
No building houses nor plant vineyards etc., because this New Earth is part of the
spiritual creation Rev 21:4
Who will inherit the New Earth?
New Earth is Eternal and therefore will not perish. "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth!" Mat 5:5 New Testament saints who are not overcomers (mere believers).
These believers do not have a God - son relationship (Rev 21:7) but only a God-People relationship. Also read In New Earth there will not be any more sin, death or curse. II Cor 6:16-18 Old Testament saints who are saved from dispensations of conscience and
law.
These are righteous people during these dispensations.
"Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells." II Pet 3:13, Ps 37:29 Copyright 2007, Revelationstudy.net. All rights reserved.

NEW HEAVEN
There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is
one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another." I Cor 15:40
Introduction
The blessings of New Heaven inhabitants are greater and glorious than that of New Earth.
New Heaven's habitation is the next higher level of blessing.
Apostle Paul was taken to the third heavens -the paradise of God, of course not the New Heaven II Cor 12:2-4 It is not the place for the Bride, the raptured church and not the dwelling place of the King of Kings.
Inhabitants of the New Heaven
Old Testament saints whose righteousness exceeds that of the Scribes and
Pharisees.
"For I say to you, that unless your righteousness the righteousness of the scribes
and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven." Mat 5:20
Old Testament saints whose righteousness shine forth as the sun
"Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father."
Mat 13:43
New Testament General Martyrs
"And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them.
And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and
for the word of God, who had not worshipped the beast or his image, and had not
received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and
reigned with Christ for a thousand years" Rev 20:4
New Testament Tribulation Martyrs
"After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could
number, of all nations, tribes, peoples and tongues, standing before the throne
and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palms branches in their
hands" Rev 7:9-15
These are the ones who were not raptured with the overcoming church.
These are the ones who die during the first 3.5 years of Tribulation refusing to
take the mark of the Beast. Rev 13:14
These are the ones who will be taken up by the Lord in the Harvest.
