The very first chapter of the Bible (significant) says God made man to have dominion on the earth and to subdue it. THAT IS IT!
To restore us to where we fell from, God would not have us die and go to Heaven. We fell from having dominion over the earth.
Yes, if we die we will go to Heaven. However, NOT FOREVER, though. Shocked? Think about it. THERE IS A RESURRECTION COMING in which we will once again abide in our EARTH SUITS called BODIES which are not made for Heaven or the unseen realm. Only, we will never die physically again.
God made us to have dominion on earth. Satan fell from heaven, not man. So dying and going to heaven is not our utmost goal.
Thoughts?

OK if new jeruslem is not a literal city, which it's not, then would new heaven/earth not be literal as well.
Is that better?

I don't. I believe in the eternal reign of Christ on earth.  And it already started 2000 years ago. It will just kick in exponentially greater after the coming of the Lord, but not for a mere 1000 years.

NO YOU DIDN'T!!! LOL! I was in a service a few years ago. The evangelist was preaching and he said something like (for no apparent reason) "I don't care what the preterists say, the New Jerusalem is real, it has measurements and dimensions..." I almost laughed out loud.

I was thinking about this Thread at lunch today. My question is this; does this reign on Earth include those of the Old Testament?
Even if it doesn't, there might be a population issue (Unless only those from AFF are saved!  ).

Yeah, dimensions sorta like this:
Ephesians 3:17-19 KJV That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, (18) May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; (19) And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
