I am asking this question because the ones who are going to heaven according to Revelation 5:10 says: " and you made them [people going to heaven] to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.” If those being 'kings and priests' in heaven going to rule over the earth with the Lamb [Christ] then why are many people being taught that people will go to heaven and the earth is to be destroyed? I thought the Bible does not contridict itself, or maybe the teachings are contradicting the Bible? Something to consider Jesus said at Matthew 5:5 "Happy are the mild tempered ones for they shall INHERIT the EARTH." In order for them to inherit the earth, the earth should stay, right? I never knew the literal earth commited sins?

Yes I agree entirely.Ps.37:11 states "..but the meek ones themselves will posses the earth,and they will indeed find theri exquiste delight in the abundance of peace." and
Ps37:29 say that -"The righteous themselves will possess the earth,and they will reside forever upon it."
The Bible definitely does not teach that all good people go to heaven.In actual fact the Bible is quite specific as to the number going to heaven.At Rev.14:1-4 the scriptures tell us that 144,000 men and women are to be taken from the earth to reside as kings and priests with Christ in Heaven as part of Jehovah's heavenly kingdom

earth is kind of a seive

I AM NOT ONE TO JUDGE OR QUESTION GOD'S ABILITIES! SO WHAT I AM DOING IS STATING MY OPINION! WHAT I TRULY BELIEVE IS THAT THIS IS HEAVEN ON EARTH! AT THE END OF TIME I BELIEVE THAT ALL OF THE CHOSEN ONES WILL BE LIVING ON THIS HEAVENLY EARTH WITH OUR HOLY LORD! I BELIEVE THAT THE REASON WHY EVERYONE THAT IS ON THIS EARTH TODAY,(BAD&GOOD). IS FOR AN HONORABLE REASON! WITH EVERY ONE BEING ON THIS EARTH GOD IS WATCHING OVER ALL OF US AND DECIDING WHICH ONES ARE GOING TO BE THE CHOSEN ONES AND WHICH ONES WILL NOT BE! THAT IS WHY WE SHOULD ALL BELIEVE AND HAVE COMPLETE LOVE,FAITH, TRUST,& PATIENTS IN OUR HOLY LORD! AND STOP TRYING TO RUSH LIFE! (LIFE IS SHORT ENOUGH ALREADY)!!!! I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE REASONS WHY ALL OF THE HORRIBLE DISASTERS THAT HAS HAPPEND ON THIS EARTH IS TO MAKE EVERYONE AWARE THAT GOD IS OUR CREATOR, AND THAT WE SHOULD BELIEVE & TRUST IN HIS JUDGEMENTS AND STOP TRYING TO TAKE CONTROL OF HIS CREATION! HE IS OUR HOLY LORD! GOD MAKES THE DECISSIONS WHAT IS AND WILL BE HAPPENING ON THIS EARTH, NOT US!!!!!!
GOD BLESS!!!!!!

how many different planes can exist? these could be referring to a different earth in a different plane of existence. mortals do not know everything as we tend to destroy so much knowledge because of our human frailties. who can say even so the quotes from any particular version of THE HOLY BIBLE are accurate because of the different translations into so many different languages.

Not everyone goes to Heaven, it all depends on our actions, that´s what we have been told.
But personally, I don´t believe in hell, I think hell is here!
and when we grow old we´ll receive the same we gave along in our lives.
That´s why we ALWAYS must be conscious of our actions, don´t doing wrong to others.

that's difficulty-loose to hearken to that others blame or carry God in charge for undesirable issues that takes position. in reality the scripture says that God would not try anybody. James a million:13 says "even as being tried enable no one say i'm being tried with the help of God." God honestly would not torture every person continually (burn in Hell) as such various people trust, for he's a God of affection a million John 4:8. honestly burning someone continually isn't loving. devil is the only which reason undesirable issues to ensue as he did contained as regards to the sturdy guy job contained in the bible. devil continuously tries to vacation us up or get us to disobey God. in spite of everything he tempted Jesus, attempting to get him to disobey God. besides the undeniable fact that we may be able to and may favor to practice to God our loyalty, with the help of residing our existence base on concept discovered contained in the scriptures. to illustrate; "go back evil to no one". " Love your neighbor as your self." Striving to be honest in coping with others etc... also gaining expertise of the actuality about God is significant which calls for interpreting and interpreting the bible. (John 17:3)
