Jesus Christ will dissolve this earth by fire at his return 2 Peter 3:10-13, Malachi 3:2, Luke 17:29-30, 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8, Nahum 1:5, Isaiah 24:20, 1 Corinthians 3:13

This existing earth will pass away Revelation 21:1-5

God creates the earth new Isaiah 65:17-19, Revelation 21:1-5

This earth will fall and not rise again Isaiah 24:20

The devil will be allowed to setup a false one-world kingdom on this earth for the very end. But it will fail, and those of us in Christ Jesus have been forewarned to not worship the coming "another beast" of Rev.13, nor his image, nor take his image.

But that does not mean our Lord Jesus' future eternal Kingdom will not be a reality upon this very earth, but simply a cleansed earth once His consuming fire burns man's works off the surface of it.

Even early on in Genesis 2, we are shown God dwelling on earth with His Garden of Eden on earth, and His River flowing out of Eden to feed four other rivers on earth (two of which we still know of on earth today). Isaiah 19 declares God's Highway will be established in the middleast and run from Egypt all the way through Assyria, and that Egypt, Israel, and Assyria will each one-third in His future Kingdom. The last verse of Ezekiel 48 declares the future name of the new Jerusalem in the middleast as "The LORD is there".

footnotes (several points) to help understand[or expose] the amil position and the churches that believe it:
Amillennialism - Wikipedia
excerpts:
"Amillennialism gained ground after Christianity became a legal religion."

Amillennialism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Amillennialism (Greek: a- "no" + millennialism), in Christian eschatology, involves the rejection of the belief that Jesus will have a literal, thousand-year-long, physical reign on the earth.

"Amillennialism rejects the idea of a future "millennium"[2] in which Christ will reign on earth prior to the eternal state beginning, but holds:

that Jesus is presently reigning from heaven, seated at the right hand of God the Father,
that Jesus also is and will remain with the church until the end of the world, as he promised at the Ascension,
that at Pentecost (or days earlier, at the Ascension), the millennium began, citing Acts 2:16-21, where Peter quotes the prophet Joel 2:28-32 on the coming of the kingdom, to explain what is happening,
and that, therefore the Church and its spread of the good news is indeed Christ's Kingdom and forever will be.

Amillennialists also cite scripture references to the kingdom not being a physical realm:"

The scripture clearly teaches that when Jesus returns, eternal life in the eternal kingdom begins Matthew 25:31-46, very clear, simple, easy to understand

Verse 34 Eternal Kingdom
Verse 46 Eternal Life

Can't be more clear than that

Jesus Christ Is Lord

Jesus Christ Is Lord

Which coming are you referring to?

The one where He comes on the clouds? (1 Cor. 15:51-54; 1 Thess. 4:13-17)

The one where He comes "in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who know not God"? (2 Thess. 1:7-8)

The one where He returns riding a white horse? (Rev. 19:11-20)

God Bless

Till all are one.

There is only one future second coming of Jesus Christ taught in the Holy Bible

When Jesus returns with the Holy angels, "Eternal Life" in the "Eternal Kingdom" begins

Matthew 25:31-46

Verses 31-32 Jesus returns with the Holy angels, the nation s are gathered before the throne for judgment

Verse 34 the "Eternal Kingdom" is presented to the righteous

Verse 41 The wicked are judged to the "Eternal" lake of fire

Verse 46 The righteous obtain "Eternal Life" and enter the "Eternal Kingdom" in verse 34

Very simple, easy to understand :)

You gave three references of the same event, there is only one future second coming of Jesus Christ seen in the Holy Bible.

We will disagree :)

I guess so.

But you need to go back and re-read the scriptures.

The three Gospel accounts, Paul's three accounts, John's account. (They do not harmonize)

Now if you mean when Jesus sets foot on earth, I would agree.

Otherwise, you seriously need to re-read the scriptures because your wrong.

God Bless

Well I'm certainly not agreeing with you, that's all. The time when our Lord Jesus said that must be put in perspective, because the 2nd temple was still standing in Jerusalem. That woman was a pagan Samaritan, of the five pagan peoples the king of Assyria transplanted in those lands when God removed all the ten tribes of Israel to captivity. That's who her five husbands represent in our Lord's Message there. Who do you think the 6th one she was then living with represents?

Now you can create your own future heaven all you want, but it won't be reality unless it agrees with ALL of God's Word, and here's a section of God's Word your doctrine of men does not agree with...

Zech 14:17

17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
KJV

That Scripture is yet to occur today, and will only take place after our Lord Jesus' 2nd coming, for He is That KING being spoken of there in Jerusalem, on earth of course.

Why would we not use the clear passages of the New Testament writers to look at the less clear passages of the Old Testament?
We can clearly see now that Abraham offering Isaac as a sacrifice was about God offering His Son at Calvary.
Should any of us be expected to offer our son as a sacrifice after Christ returns, because of what we find in the Old Testament.


Those who belong to Christ will worship King Jesus in the heavenly Jerusalem.
There shall be no rain in the heavenly Jerusalem, because there is a fountain of living water.
Neither shall there be a sea.


You can reject what Christ said if you want, and instead repeat the error of the woman.

However, there is no clear text from the New Testament saying that we will worship in earthly Jerusalem, after His Second Coming.
There are clear texts which say we will worship in heavenly Jerusalem.


I do not want you to agree with me.
I want you to agree with the New Testament scripture.



Heb 11:15  And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. 
Heb 11:16  But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. 



Gal 4:25  For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. 
Gal 4:26  But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
