All faithful humans are NOT going to heaven, only 144,000 chosen will. And those who do will have a definite purpose -- NOT to just “walk around heaven all day”, “walk the streets of gold,” or “drink milk and eat honey all day.” The Bible doesn’t teach this, and it makes no sense. Rev. 20:4-6 and Rev 5:8-10 tell us those chosen to go to heaven “…will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years.”—Rev. 20:4-6
Jehovah created this earth so that humans could enjoy living on it forever. He wanted the earth always to be inhabited by righteous, happy people. (Psalm 115:16; Isaiah 45:18) The earth will never be destroyed; it will last forever.—Psalm 104:5; Ecclesiastes 1:4.
In The Lord’s Prayer, we are taught to pray for God’s kingdom. A kingdom is a government, and God’s kingdom will rule over the earth. “... Let your kingdom come. Let your will come to pass, as in heaven, also upon earth.”—Matt. 6:10. God’s will is that all those who live on the earth will one day be perfect, faithful creatures, just as those in heaven are now. And Christ will rule as king of God’s kingdom over a paradise earth.
Before this earth can become a paradise, wicked people must be removed. (Psalm 37:38) This will happen at Armageddon, which is God’s war to end wickedness. Next, Satan will be imprisoned for 1,000 years. This means that no wicked ones will be left to spoil the earth. Only God’s people will survive.—Revelation 16:14, 16; 20:1-3.
Then Jesus Christ will rule as King over this earth for 1,000 years. (Revelation 20:6) He will gradually take sin away from our minds and bodies. We will become perfect humans just as Adam and Eve were before they sinned. Then there will be no more sickness, old age, and death. Sick people will be cured, and old persons will become young again.—Job 33:25; Isaiah 33:24; Revelation 21:3, 4.
The divine purpose is not to have Jesus Christ rule as king alone for the thousand years. But, as the apostle John tells us: “I saw, and, look! The Lamb standing upon the Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads. . . .”—Revelation 14:1-5. The number of such “holy ones” chosen to rule with the Lamb Jesus Christ on the heavenly Mount Zion is revealed as being 144,000, “bought from among mankind.” (Revelation 14:1-5) These, together with Christ, make up the righteous “new heavens” of Jehovah’s new system of things.

You've been lied to. There is no heaven or hell, at least not heaven (from how I describe it), and not hell from how most religions see it. Hell is self condemnation. There is no real religion. Religions are false. Christianity is not a religion. Christ is a Spirit who came down in the flesh of a man named Jesus to show us how to free ourselves from Demiurge (Yaldabaoth; also may be viewed as Yaweh/Jehovah) the creator god (creator of materials) to awakening of the spirit/soul which allowed a return to the superior, non-material realities which were its primal source, which is entrapped within the material world. Once we escape this, we go to the spiritual world. It a whole different story. Have faith. There are no sins, just bad deeds such as unfaithfulness and selfishness. Gnosticism is the TRUTH.
Don't worry if you can't decipher it in your current flesh. There's always reincarnation. My GOD, unlike all the false Christians, is truely pure love, and gives you as much chances as you need, regardless of your religion, nationality, selfishness, unfaithfullness, etc. My GOD has no beggining and no end, is hermaphroditic (ambiguous word, but some-what meaning everything and nothing, but can't really mean nothing, blah blah blah), so in a sense, we are all part of this "the One" or the true Æon.

Revelation5:10 those who bypass to heaven will rule with Christ JESUS OVER THE EARTH. Revelation 20:6 they are going to be monks of god and of the christ and could rules as kings. back over the earth Jesus stated in Matthew 5:5 The meek will inherit the earth. it will be a superb paradise of delight. doesn't that sound extra acceptable. Then playing a harp. Swim, vacation horses. the bible says God created the heavens for himself even if the earth he made for the sons of adult males. Our authorities will be from those who once lived the following on earth who comprehend what we are dealing with. sometime Jesus will rule the international. What a honest authorities.

You will have to deal with the fact that billions and billions of lovely nice people are burning in hell for all eternity because they were brought up Buddhist, Islam, Hindu, atheist etc etc while some evil people that regretet their wrong-doings at the end of their life are up there in heaven with you.

Nothing.
No one will eat or sleep or have sex. All will worship God, and bask in his love.
I'm serious. Check my sources.
