Spiritual people will inhabit the new earth forever. Revelation 21 to 22: 1-5
We are spiritual people already beginning at Pentecost, and yes, the church, once it began, never ends. Ephesians 3:21, Psalms 135:14, Psalms 72:5
Where does it say we shall be raised with immortal bodies and live upon the earth forever. It says "raised to eternal life".
Matthew 25:46
And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Jesus is in heaven now and the place for all the righteous peoples; those whose names are found in the Book of Life, is in the new Jerusalem, that will come down from heaven - AFTER the Judgment;
Rev 20:11-15
Then what's the Heavenly Jerusalem that they came to? Is not the New Jerusalem the City of the Living God and called the bride?
If the New Jerusalem isn't built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ as the chief cornerstone, then what's it built on?
Rev21:
14And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Ephesians 2:19-22
Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household, /
built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone. / In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord. ...
1 Peter 2:
4As you come to Him, the living stone, rejected by men but chosen and precious in God’s sight,
5you also,
like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
6For it stands in Scripture:
“See, I lay in Zion a stone,
a chosen and precious cornerstone;
and the one who believes in Him
will never be put to shame.”
Hebrews 12:
22Instead, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to myriads of angels
23in joyful assembly, to the
congregation of the firstborn, enrolled in heaven. You have come to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,
24to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
The judgement of Rev 20 has to harmonize with the scripture that follows.
Rev 14:
7And he said with a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the
hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.”
Then in verse 13 proves that physical death continues from then on when it says:
13And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this:
Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”
Peter said He was "ready to judge the living and the dead" 1 Peter 4:5 and Paul said He was "about to judge the living and the dead."
Here I'm using the literal translation of it because it appears as a future tense in many other translations when it isn't according to the Greek, it's a present participle followed by the present infinitive. Easily proven here:
