You know the tree of life is supposedly there and Humans came from there. It's only logical that they return if they've been saved from sin and annihilation (the second death).

As a Jew, I definitely believe that it won't be Jesus who takes us anywhere! However, there are many Jews who believe that we are working in partnership with God to return the world to the perfection of the Garden of Eden. Some believe "messiah" is a metaphor for an age of peace.

After the end of all things there will be a new Heaven and a new Earth. See Revelation 21 & 22.
There are a lot of things about the future we don't and can't understand, but one thing for sure is that God will make good on His promises. Besides, who wouldn't want to live in a perfect place like the New Heaven or the New Earth? I've considered the alternative--no way for me!

Eden does not exist anymore. If you are trusting in Jesus, you will go to Paradise first, then Heaven later. There will, however, be a new earth set up after the return of Jesus. Revelation 21:1

Heaven is only a temporary abode for souls. When Jesus comes again, there will be a new heaven and a new earth. We will live in a new earth better than Eden. In Eden, it was possible for humans not to sin. In the new earth, it will be impossible for humans to sin.

No one knows for sure but you can read in the last book of the bible, Revelation and maybe try to understand it a little better. That book's purpose was to tell us about what the the world will be like when Jesus comes back.

Read the Bible and you will know. God will create the "Earth made new."
"Marvelous beyond expression is the blindness of the people of this generation. Thousands reject the word of God as unworthy of belief and with eager confidence receive the deceptions of Satan. Skeptics and scoffers denounce the bigotry of those who contend for the faith of prophets and apostles, and they divert themselves by holding up to ridicule the solemn declarations of the Scriptures concerning Christ and the plan of salvation, and the retribution to be visited upon the rejecters of the truth. They affect great pity for minds so narrow, weak, and superstitious as to acknowledge the claims of God and obey the requirements of His law. They manifest as much assurance as if, indeed, they had made a covenant with death and an agreement with hell– as if they had erected an impassable, impenetrable barrier between themselves and the vengeance of God. Nothing can arouse their fears. So fully have they yielded to the tempter, so closely are they united with him, and so thoroughly imbued with his spirit, that they have no power and no inclination to break away from his snare.
Satan has long been preparing for his final effort to deceive the world. The foundation of his work was laid by the assurance given to Eve in Eden: "Ye shall not surely die." "In the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." Genesis 3:4, 5. Little by little he has prepared the way for his masterpiece of deception in the development of spiritualism. He has not yet reached the full accomplishment of his designs; but it will be reached in the last remnant of time. Says the prophet: "I saw three unclean spirits like frogs; . . . they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty." Revelation 16:13, 14. Except those who are kept by the power of God, through faith in His word, the whole world will be swept into the ranks of this delusion. The people are fast being lulled to a fatal security, to be awakened only by the outpouring of the wrath of God."(GC, 561-562)

Not quite; It is a new Heaven and earth that the Lord makes, and the real joys are spiritual:
(2 Pet 3:13) "Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness."
(Rev 21:1) "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea."
(Rev 21:5) "And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful."
(Psa 16:11) "Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore."
(Mat 22:30) "For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven."
(Rom 14:17) "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost."

The Word of God says that "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him."
1 Corinthians 2:9
It sounds a lot better than Eden to me.

By believing in Jesus and being “saved” you will get one of the first seats in HEAVEN to watch how the vast majority of the human beings including your “unsaved” family members and old acquaintances will be tormented in a sulfuric Hell fire lake or what have you for ever and ever and you will get a chance to poke fun and tease at them all you want for ever and ever… That’s HEAVEN! No wonder Jesus said that you must hate your father and your mother and everybody else to follow him, especially if they are "unsaved" and go to HELL! You will hear a lot of “I told you so…” from Sweet Jesus!
Luke 16:23-25-NIV (Jesus is telling us…) AND BEING IN TORMENTS IN HELL, he* (*a rich man in Hell) lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. “Then he cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; FOR I AM TORMENTED IN THIS FLAME.’(and Jesus all excited continues the story telling…) But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted and YOU ARE TORMENTED! (Hey, these are words of Sweet Jesus… he will enjoy watching the Christians teasing those in HELL!)
Revelation 14:10-11 "he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. HE WILL BE TORMENTED WITH BURNING SULFUR in the presence of the holy angels and of the LAMB* (*aka God the Son Jesus Christ, and some Christians who will ALWAYS be with him wherever he goes/John 17:24). And the smoke of their torment rises FOR EVER AND EVER. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name."
So if you got saved make sure that you pay your tithes and offering or you will be given a Christian burial without next of kin notification and go to HELL for sinning against the Holy Ghost! (Acts 5:1-11)! Not paying the tithes and offerings is a great blasphemy against God the Holy Ghost!!!

No, Jesus said we'd be with him in heaven. He said that we were made joint heirs with him. In Daniel, it refers to Michael as one of the chief princes in heaven and Jesus is King. So if Micheal is a prince and Jesus is a King and We are joint heirs with a king, that means we will rule over the angels. I can't see a
garden needing princes and Kings.
