1. Yes Heaven will be absolutely magnificent beyond anything you can imagine, a paradise to bring joy to all of God's children eternally.
1 Corinthians 2:9
New International Version (NIV)
[SUP]9 [/SUP]However, as it is written:
“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”[SUP][
a][/SUP]—
the things God has prepared for those who love him—
What does the Bible say about heaven? It it a physical place? An idea? A state of being? The truth is that the Bible has a ton to say about heaven. The Scriptures tell us that heaven is an actual physical place and that God was the one who made it. The Scriptures also tell us that heaven is where God has His throne. According to the Scriptures, heaven is the destination for Christians when they die. But what even most Christians do not realize is that heaven is not the final destination for those who believe in Jesus Christ. In fact, the Bible tells us that God is going to build a new heaven and a new earth. The highlight of the new earth will be a massive city known as the New Jerusalem that will be the ultimate destination for those who belong to the Lord. (More here:

Some of these verses are about the new Jerusalem created in the new Earth. I will mark them.
Revelation 22
New International Version (NIV)
Eden Restored
22 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb [SUP]2 [/SUP]down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. [SUP]3 [/SUP]No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. [SUP]4 [/SUP]They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. [SUP]5 [/SUP]There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever. (New Earth)
Revelation 21
New International Version (NIV)
A New Heaven and a New Earth
21 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”[SUP][
a][/SUP] for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. [SUP]2 [/SUP]I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. [SUP]3 [/SUP]And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. [SUP]4 [/SUP]‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[SUP][
b][/SUP] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
[SUP]5 [/SUP]He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
[SUP]6 [/SUP]He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. [SUP]7 [/SUP]Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. [SUP]8 [/SUP]But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
The New Jerusalem, the Bride of the Lamb
[SUP]9 [/SUP]One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” [SUP]10 [/SUP]And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. [SUP]11 [/SUP]It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. [SUP]12 [/SUP]It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. [SUP]13 [/SUP]There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. [SUP]14 [/SUP]The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls. [SUP]16 [/SUP]The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia[SUP][
c][/SUP] in length, and as wide and high as it is long. [SUP]17 [/SUP]The angel measured the wall using human measurement, and it was 144 cubits[SUP][
d][/SUP] thick.[SUP][
e][/SUP] [SUP]18 [/SUP]The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. [SUP]19 [/SUP]The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, [SUP]20 [/SUP]the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.[SUP][
f][/SUP] [SUP]21 [/SUP]The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.
[SUP]22 [/SUP]I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. [SUP]23 [/SUP]The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. [SUP]24 [/SUP]The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it. [SUP]25 [/SUP]On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there. [SUP]26 [/SUP]The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. [SUP]27 [/SUP]Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?
2. Hell is burning endlessly forever with no water to drink or to quench the flames.
3. Our earthly life is a fallen world since the conception of sin, with Satan as it's ruler. One day earth will be restored and will once again be a paradise.
4. The point of live is to glorify God, choose to love Him and others.. And to spread the news of God and His son Jesus Christ to all. And to enjoy life in every possible godly way!
1a. My theory is that God just wanted to create physical reality, but it was our choice to go and muck it up with sin and pain.
2a. God made love and puppies, beautiful women, flowers and stars, and cannabis. Not to mention gave us life, the opportunity to experience it all in the first place. Praise His Name Adonai, Jesus forever! Life in the garden of Eden before we disobeyed God was much better, we chose to disobey God and now we suffer the consequences.
Love and Light bro
Just believe in Jesus and try your best to live a good righteous life and gain paradise forever.
