Jerry,
The Master Carpenter has already built us a New House out of two pieces of wood and a handful of nails.
In Galatians 4 Paul said it is above, now.
In Hebrews 11 the heavenly city has already been prepared.
In the Book of Revelation the New Jerusalem comes down from heaven.
Joh_14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Gal 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
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.
(This verse is written in the present tense during the first century. The heavenly city was already prepared at that point.)
Rev_3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
Rev_21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Satan offered this rotten, sin-cursed world to Christ during His temptation in the wilderness.
Christ did not want it, but He now owns the title deed to it. He paid for it in Blood at Calvary.
When His sinless heel touches this earth at His Second Coming it will initiate an earthquake that will split the planet in half. The text says it will be the greatest earthquake in history. It will begin a process that will destroy this earth with fire. I am talking about a fire hotter than the core of the sun, in which the elements will be vaporized.
This is what Peter is describing in 2 Peter chapter 3. Read it for yourself.
Look up the word "dissolve" in the dictionary.
You are trying to preserve this world for your Two Peoples of God/ Two Plans of God doctrine. Your doctrine was destroyed in Hebrews 11:16. Abraham does not want Canaan Land. He desires the heavenly city, instead. Who could blame him?

berean2,
1. The house built because of Calvary is spiritual. People couldn't build that Kingdom. Matthew 26:28.
The physical KoH reign on earth Christ will build and no man can build it because he will take over the kingdoms over the world Revelation 11:15.
2. Galatians 4 Jerusalem is above because Christ is in Heaven. He is the one who saves the soul not the law.
3. The Heavenly City Jesus said he went to prepare us a place with mansions etc. John 14:6
4. The Heavenly city has nothing to do with the physical KoH reign on earth.
The Old Testament saints and New Testament saints who have already died are already in Heaven. The church will be raptured and resurrected to Heaven with the dead in Christ 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17.
The promises to the overcomers of the church is the Holy City when it comes down from Heaven after the 1000 years and the GWTJ and the New Heaven and the New Earth are renovated.
5. Satan did offer the Kingdoms of the world and at Calvary you can say he has the title deed but the truth is that the kingdoms of this world becoming Christ has not come to actual fruition such as in Revelation 11:15 shows will happen at the end of the tribulation.
6. The Bible doesn't say the earthquake splits the planet in half. That is your opinion because of your perception which is false.
7. I have already shown that the elements of the fire will purge and purify things that don't need to be there because of the curse of sin.
The shaking in Habakkuk and Hebrews prove the renovation physically and spiritually and proves their is no annihilation of the earth ever.
Your definition of dissolve is incorrect and doesn't fit the context.
8. Your accusation of two peoples of God and two plans of God was debunked eons ago and Hebrews 11:16 Abraham did seek a Heavenly country and he is there now.
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob will all be in the KoH Matthew 8:11.
David will be King of Israel in the KoH Ezekiel 37-24. But he is in Heaven right now and will be in the pre-trib rapture.
9. The Old and New Testament saints and tribulation saints will all be a heavenly citizen but will have part of the KoH reign.
They will also go back to Heaven and come back down from Heaven to earth as well once the KoG becomes all in al 1 Corinthians 15:28 and Revelation 21:1-2.
You are mixed up and confused and one-sided and ignoring scriptures to circumvent the truth of the scripture just like Jeremiah 30:7. Jerry kelso
