I believe that this is the new heaven and new earth that John saw and reported in Revelations. This is the Kingdom of God as ruled by the Lord Jesus Christ. This is our inheritance as followers of Jesus. A kingdom of perfect love without any trouble or strife or sickness or sorrow. We will live forever there and it will never end. Glory to God.

Although I don't disagree with your conclusion, you need to put context back.
For John 3:16 comes from a discussion Jesus had with Nicodemus.
The first answer is John 3:3-8 where Jesus takes about being born again; our first birth is fresh and our second birth is spirit.
The second is clarification of the first is John 3:10-21: Earth and heaven, specifically how we get to heaven.
For 1Cor.15:22-28,51-53 is from a discussion on resurrection specifically our hope for eternal life. To see this, you need the entire passage 1 Cor 15:12-57 (not 58).
Now to Luke 20:34-36. Once again you have missed the point. The discussion is about the aspects of resurrection. Luke 20:27-38 with emphasis on 38.
Finally Eph 3:21 is the ending of a prayer that Paul says, Eph 3:14-21. There is more to this prayer that verse 21. If Paul says a prayer, is it not worth repeating.
Answer: This is for you and you alone. The Bible is the Word of God as spoken through the prophets. Move over, the Bible interrupts itself. You could have easily make you point by citing John 3:3-12. The other verses give details, but do not support your original thesis "What is the world that is without Jesus". That question is never asked; Jesus is only presented.
Remember the bible is not a conversion manual, but a tool for the believer. I hope this clarification helps you as it has help me.

It is heaven. This a basic straight forward Christian principle.
We live, die, and are judged by whether we are good or evil, sent to heaven or hell...
