When the new heaven and the new Earth come about, will they be the same thing?
No. The first, is the heavens, i.e., cosmos. The second is the earth. Both being transformed, hence "new".
Our present earth and cosmos will be dissolved, then renewed and glorified, and made the best of all possible worlds for Our Lord and His people.
Our bodies likewise disintegrate but will be the same bodies, yet renewed and glorified.
Our Lord comes for His people in the providence of death, and we will be eternally where He is, first with Him in Heaven, then with Him on the new earth.
