Here is something else I know about the "new heaven" and "new earth" mentioned in revelation
there will be nothing that causes sin
no more sickness
no more death
no more mourning
a man will be 100 years old and be considered a child
and if anyone does die it will be because of their sin
a physical earth?
no. Something completely different from this present home which we call earth
but nian knows what GOD has in store other than wholeness and beauty and goodness and peace and all the things which we long for that we presently do not have

It is so disappointing to me to learn that God hated the people He created so much that He placed them on a ticking "Time Bomb", then threatened them with sudden obliteration at some unknown time in the future if they didn't swear allegiance to Him.
Helluva great incentive to become a Christian.
Is this why we are to follow Jesus?

Can someone help me out, and show me where, in Genesis, God told Adam that He was going to blow-up the Earth because His creations ate an apple?
He told Adam there would be changes as a consequence of their disobeying... thorns, hard work, rough childbirth, etc... and, of course, death... but did He say that He was going to explode everything He created because of what they did?

Eph 3:21 (NASB) to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations [fn] forever and ever. Amen.
fn - Literally: of the age of the ages
Paul states that worship will occur throughout the generations "forever" therefore to state there is an end of generations posited by a supposed end of the church age and an end of the world is contrary to what Paul stated and other scriptures.
"age of the ages" is the Greek way of saying "endless" - that's why modern translations translate the phrase
aionas ton aionon (αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων) as "forever and ever".
Yes there was a new creation, the deconstruction of the old creation was in the 1st century AD, the old creation was the "world" of the Israelites that came to an end in the war of 66-70 AD along with the passing of the old covenant - the new creation is the covenant of Christ:
Heb 8:13 (Young's Literal) in the saying 'new,' He hath made the first old, and what doth become obsolete and is old is nigh disappearing.

I think this would be full preterism? You are pushing the envelope too far, this is past Orthodoxy. I do not buy your premise of new heaven and new earth being merely a destruction of a temple. John wrote that there would no longer be suffering, no tears and no death. Therefore I can conclude that this is not the New Creation.
