When will the new heavens and new earth be created in relation to the millennial reign?
Scripture indicates the new heavens and new earth will be created after the millennial reign and after the total destruction of the present universe. This corresponds to Revelation 21 and 22, where a whole new creation is made for all eternity, and Israel remains uniquely positioned.
Les explains that after the millennial reign and after the total destruction of the entire universe, not just the planet, God will create a new heavens and new earth. He connects this to Revelation 21 and 22 and Isaiah's prophecy that the new heavens and earth shall remain before the Lord. Even in the eternal state, Israel will still hold a unique position as the apple of God's eye, though believers in the body of Christ have an even better position.
For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
