it surprises me that christians dont know that the resurrected saints already rose as first fruits after jesus.
see John 27:52,53
52 And the agraves were opened; and many bbodies of the csaints dwhich slept earose,
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the aholy city, and appeared unto many.

Rev 21:1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
5He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."

6He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. 8But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

When the perfect sacrifice Jesus Christ was crucified and layed down his life his perfect blood atonement allowed all saints in Abrahams bosom to enter into the third Heaven where Jesus eventually went and where he is now. There no scripture to back up your claim about the New Jerusalem but you could be right. Enoch no doubt was a special man and didn't have to die. It will come down some day, a 1500 mile square with 12 levels. Some scholars believe thats how big the garden of eden was with Jerusalem being the eastern gate. They maybe right. Of course now days with the new covenant any saint that dies goes straight to Heaven as the Apostle Paul says absent from the body is present with the Lord, and we know the Lord sits at the right hand of the Father. Come quickly Lord Jesus, Come quickly!!!!

What do you mean by "disappear"? Those who have been resurrected continue to live life. There is more than one city in the next world/spirit world, I am sure. I don't think we have any current information on the location of the city of Enoch.

All who die return from where they came. Heaven! If you die "in Christ" You are with Him. If you aren't "in Christ" You end up on the other side of the gulf. Luke 16 Don't worry we will have the millinium to teach those who don't know Christ.
