Revelation 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.

What does this mean, "no more sea"? It seems that the two are joined together. Are we looking for two things when it seems to imply that He has made it one and the same. If there is no more sea then it seems to imply no gulf between them.

Rev. 5: 9And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

These passages seem to clearly point to Him being worthy to become our salvation, thus making us kings and priests now.
When you read
Rev. 21 it doesn't, IMO, seem to continue anything other than reigning with Him in victory.
