And what is the meaning of New Heaven and new Earth?

At that time, earth will be a paradise. Satan will be released again for a short period of time and then with the ones that will (probably) follow him they will be destroyed. Everything will be at the place that should be..all mankind and creation will worship allmighty God - Jehovah.

The literal heavens has already ousted Satan the devil out so that is a new heavens Revelation 12:7
Heavens on earth can mean a new government or new rulership of the earth with God's will done on earth as it is in heaven so Satan is ousted from the earth.
Thus creating a new earth with a new kingdom government with Jesus Christ as ruler. During that 1000 years all those who have died in God's favor will be resurrected and allowed to live forever on a paradise earth. Some of the resurrected ones will continue in their bad ways and cannot blame Satan because he is gone. So standing on their own merits they are still wicked. That is the second death from which there is no resurrection. At the end of the 1000 year period even some then will give in to Satan and this is the last final test.
From then on the earth and all its inhabitants are to be at peace healthy and happy forever.

Good question and thank you for asking something out of the ordinary.
God's original purpose was to have the original couple, Adam & Eve, spread the paradise "Garden of Eden" throughout. That was why they were commanded to "fill the earth and subdue it." That purpose has not changed. As King of God's Kingdom, Jesus Chris will lead in restoring both the earth and faithful humans to the perfection that they were originally meant to have. That's what the Psalmist meant when he said that "the meek shall inherit the earth". The scriptures are full of restoration prophecies (again for both humans and the earth) found in the book of Isaiah. One of my favorites and the simplest is at Isaiah 33:24 - "and no resident shall say I am sick" Another good one is at Psalm 72:16 "There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth; on the top of the mountains there will be an overflow. His fruit will be as in Lebanon and those who are from the city will blossom like the vegetation of the earth."

I am pulling this off of my Sunday school notes. Christ's second coming will mark the beginning of the millennium. (1000 years) My church believes that 2 great works will be going on. 1. Temple work and 2. missionary work. We will age and die normally. Revelations 20:2-3 explains that Satan will be bound. Isaiah 2:4 states that there will not be any war during this period. Christ will reign personally on the earth.

According to Revelation, you have two questions there.
After Armageddon, Christ will return and instate the 1000-year theocracy here on earth. As far as we know, the planet is still as it is; the only thing renewed is the bodies and souls of Christians.
After the 1000 years, a new heaven and new earth will replace this one.

If you are talking about the 'end of time' this is a bad translation from the hebrew which should read ' the end of an age'. This herelds the end of the age of pisces, two fish, (two fishermen as deciples, 5 loves and two fish etc) to the age of aquarius at about 2150 ad. This was fortold by Jesus in Luke 22:10. No armageddon, just a new astroligical age.

The first time the New Heavens and the New Earth was fulfilled was in Jerusalem in 537 BCE, it meant a new government arrangement and a new human society.

We who are saved will rule with Christ as Kings and Priests. Zechariah in the old testament is a good book to read on that subject, it has small amounts of phophecy on that subject, especially in chapter 14. happy reading, great question..

The boomers will die off and the earth will be a vast wasteland with crumbling cities and so forth.

The Book of Revelation discusses the "apocalypse" which has the root meaning of "hidden."
My point being, is much of the meaning in Revelation is, indeed, hidden. It was mostly written as metaphor. Personally (and I'm Christian), I think its a mistake to take Revelation as literal.
