After the New Jerusalem comes down from heaven, verse 3 says And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.
then again in verse 24 And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.
Continuing the story on into Rev. 22, in verse 12 we see that this is all part of the reward He will bring with Him when He returns. Rev. 22:12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.
There is no end this kind of stuff in the bible. That is why it seems evident that the reward of the saved is the reward that Jesus will bring back with Him when He returns, and not "heaven."
Thanks for bringing that up, "Remnant."

Amen! Just think one day we will Behold God as He is and will look upon his face for the first time and dwell with Him! Glory!
