Is any body interested in being in the new earth, instead of the new heavens, it has to be made new as said?

Question

Why does there have to be a new heavens and a new earth?

Where are the scriptures that give all this promise?

Answer 1

Yes, I am. I would love to live in the peaceful paradise on earth with all the righteous people to look after animals and create beautiful gardens. Here are some of the scriptures:

And he (Jesus) said to him: “Truly I tell you today, You will be with me in Paradise.”—Luke 23:43

"There are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting according to his promise, and in these righteousness is to dwell.”—2 Peter 3:13

"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea is no more.”—Revelation 21:1

"For here I am creating new heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be called to mind, neither will they come up into the heart.”—Isaiah 65:17

And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more;
And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be.But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth,
And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.—Psalms 37:10, 11

Answer 2

I hope to live on the new earth, but, remember, it is not a new planet, but the same planet washed clean of all wickedness as it was in the days of Noah. 2 Peter 3:13 is the primary scripture you are speaking of but Isaiah 65:17 is the prophecy which foretells it and 2 Peter 3:5-7 explains it better as far as what will be done away with.
