Some say there will be an entirely new earth, some say it will be this earth, just regenerated. I'm not sure yet on either.
But one of the things that I'm looking forward to is the new heavens. That is, a NEW outer space. Admittedly, space is my favorite subject. So I'm especially curious about this.
Surely God will allow us to explore it and can you just imagine the new worlds we will see? Perhaps even the new and exotic extra terrestrial life that we will encounter?
What if He sends us on missions to tell them about Him?
All I'm saying is expect the unexpected with God, all good things and all glorifying to Himself.
"no eye has seen, and no ear has heard, and has not entered into heart of man, what God has prepared for those loving Him."

First thing we must realize that World and Earth two totally different things:
Earth is referring to the planet, “Planet Earth“ but World on the other hand has many meaning!
Example: one definition of world- A particular class of people, with common interest, aims and goals
One of the members post this Scripture: Isaiah 45:17 But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
Right here Israel was just called a World! I don’t think thats the point he was making lol!
The point is there are many different Worlds: Sports world, Sea world, Third world countries and last but not lease “ The Christian World“ (Hebrew 1:2 also say Worlds)
The answer is found right in the Lords Prayer! Matthew 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. So the Kingdom (Heaven) that is to come will be right here on earth (planet).
And World that will past away is this wicked system called “BabyLon the Great”
Revelation 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Revelation 18:3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
Isaiah 66:15 For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. “ That’s the Christ of this Bible”
He‘ not coming with a Lamb in his arm singing kum ba ya.
Romans 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
Romans 3:4 God forbid: (NO) yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
This the way it’s going down! “BECAUSE THE LORD HAS SPOKEN IT”

The "world" as we know it (what we see all around us) is not the same as the "earth" (the globe created by God) even though maps speak about "world maps". So the earth will continue for eternity as "the New Earth" (totally cleansed with supernatural fire), but the world will be burned up. There will also be a new atmospheric heaven, and space will also be cleansed (since it is full of man-made junk and artifacts).

Bible says the world will burn with fire and end as we know it. but the saved will be in the new Jerusalem safe. once sin is destroyed and all is cleansed God will recreate the earth for the saved to live on.
Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
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.
Rev 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

S
don't be absurd
hollow earth.....nonsense
people with bizarre beliefs think they can support their weird positions from scripture
btw, this particular hollow earth belief is good for a laugh but sad some folks actually believe it
not wasting my time on it further and totally expect you to continue comments to engage. not happening

No, as Paul explains all are gathered together at the same time because all are "One" in Messiah.
Paul is indeed one of the elect, and in his first letter to the Corinthians, he speaks about a future resurrection of the dead in Christ to be gathered with those who are alive and remain.
1 Corinthians 15:51-52
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Next, in Romans Paul explains that both the natural-born Israelites who believe in Christ AND the grafted in gentile believers in Christ together are ALL ISRAEL.
Romans 11:25-26
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
In his letter to the Thessalonians, Paul explains the order of the resurrection/change/gathering event:
1 Thessalonians 4:15-
By the word of the Lord, we declare to you that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who have fallen asleep.
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise.
After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.
So the dead rise first and then those who are alive and remain (who are Messiah's) are caught up together with them in the clouds. So then the question is when in human history did this resurrection event occur and why aren't you and I gathered as the scriptures say we'd be (unless we're not Christ's and this is all just a big waste of time)?
The doctrines of the world are definitely splitting people. The gathering isn't some spiritualized event representing people becoming believers or accepting the gospel. The gathering is literally bringing all of scattering Israel back together - physically - as promised multiple times in the Old and New Testaments, to dwell in the land promised.
The punishment upon Israel was that they would be physically scattered to the four corners of the world, but also in fulfillment of prophecy, Israel would be sown into the world and bless the world. And as Messiah taught during his ministry, the kingdom of God is like a large net cast into the sea gathering many different types of fish.
So if we who claim to be part of the body of Messiah are still scattered along with Israel all over the world, then the gathering/resurrection has not occurred and so New Jerusalem isn't here.
