Misconceptions:

This is about the new heaven and a new earth being two different places for those who have a hope of heaven with their pursuit of radical righteousness [‘since John the Baptist came, up to this present time, the kingdom of Heaven has been subjected to violence and the violent are taking it by storm’ Mtt.11:12] and the later for the meek (“Blessed are the gentle: they shall have the earth as inheritance” Mtt.5:4). The new heavens and new earth as used in Rev.21:1 {“then I saw a new heaven and a new earth”} is the one throne of God (‘thus says the Lord: with heaven my throne and earth my footstool…’ Isaiah 66:1) and the home of the righteous {“But our homeland is in heaven…” Phil.3:20} and not two different places since we have one God, one body, one spirit thus “there is one Body, one Spirit, just as one hope is the goal of your calling by God. there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism and one God and Father of all, over all, through all and within all” {Eph.4:4-6}. Just as in every monarchical kingdom on earth we have the kings palace where he resides stands for this new heaven and other places in the kingdom which is also under his reign stand for the new earth and above all everyone in the kingdom enjoys the same privilege though in varying degree as well as functionalities {Virgins, Apostles, prophets, martyrs, priests, archangels, angels e.t.c} much more illustrated with the clear fact of God dwelling currently in heaven from where he directs the affairs of the world {‘Our God is in heaven, he creates whatever he chooses’ Ps.115:3} with our co-operation to His Grace [‘you love uprightness and detest evil. This is why God, your God has anointed you with the oil of gladness as none of your rivals’ Heb.1:9] or without (“I am the Lord and there is no other, there is no other God except me. Though you do not know me, I have armed you” Isaiah 45:5) men’s co-operation to righteousness.

The view by some people that hell-fire/abyss or second death in most passages of the scripture {Rev.21:8, Mtt.5:22, Rev.20:1} as not being a place of continuous torment for sinners and the wicked rather their punishment would be destruction by death (Ezek.18:4) is not true. The torture of hell-fire is continuous, day & night, forever and ever with these passages “then the devil, who led them astray was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur where the beast and the false prophet are, and their torture will not come to an end, day or night, forever and ever” (Rev.20:10), ‘a third angel followed shouting aloud, all those who worship the beast and his statue or have had themselves branded on hand or forehead, will be made to drink the wine of God’s fury which is ready, undiluted, in his cup of retribution; in fire and brimstone they will be tortured in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb and the smoke of their torture will rise forever and ever. There will be no respite, night or day, for those who worship the beast or its statue or accept branding with its name” [Rev.14:9-11] though this continuous and eternal fire was not designed for us (image of God) but our stubborn refusal to repent {‘your stubborn refusal to repent is only storing up retribution for yourself on that Day of retribution when God’s just verdict will be made known’ Rom.2:5} and help others with our God-given talents, beauty, handsomeness, Spiritual gifts and wealth to come closer to God has branded the wrath of God’s justice on men thus “then he will say to those on his left hand, Go away from me, with your curse upon you, to the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels” Mtt.25:41 as a reference to the contents of Rev.20:10 already mentioned above.

The idea in some people that some of Our lady’s (Blessed Virgin Mary) statues and images that are blessed by legal, authentic and loyal priests of the Catholic, Apostolic, One and Holy Church with Christ as the Head (‘since as Christ is head of the Church and saves the whole body…’ Eph.5:23), Foundation {“for nobody can lay down any other foundation than the one which is there already, namely Jesus Christ” 1 Cor.3:11}, Founder [‘so I now say to you: You are Peter and on this rock I will build my community/Church…’ Mtt.16:18], Corner-stone {“you are built upon the foundations of the apostles and prophets and Christ Jesus himself is the cornerstone” Eph.2:20} with the apostles and prophets as the physical representatives, whose unbroken succession the priests and bishops of the Holy Sea (Roman Catholic family) maintain are being manipulated by evil spirits is a lie because the word of God remains forever [‘but the Word of the Lord remains forever…’ 1 Pet.1:25] and the position of Our Mother {Virgin Mary} in the Holy Bible is very clear as the beloved daughter of the Father (“but the angel said to her, Mary do not be afraid; you have won God’s favor” Lk.1:30), Mother of the Son (“look! You are to conceive in your womb and bear a son and you must name him Jesus” Lk.1:31), spouse of the Holy Spirit [‘the angel answered, the Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God’ Lk.1:35], humble servant of God (“Mary said, you see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said…” Lk.1:38), always magnifying God {‘and Mary said: My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord’ Lk.1:48}, always the mother of God [“why should I be honored with the visit from the mother of my Lord?” Lk.1:43], always having us handed into her care by Christ as a call for all who love Him to reverence her (‘seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, Woman, this is your son. Then to the disciple he said, this is your mother…’ Jn.19:26-27), always interceding for us at the most critical periods {“and they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the feast had all been used and the mother of Jesus said to him, they have no wine” Jn.2:3}, always commanding her children (‘then the dragon was enraged with the woman and went away to make war on the rest of her children, who obey God’s commandments and have in themselves the witness of Jesus’ Rev.12:17) and every other force in the world, to do the will of GOD [“His mother said to the servants, Do whatever he tells you” Jn.2:5] bearing in mind that the WORD is GOD (‘In the beginning was the Word: the Word was with God and the Word was God’ Jn.1:1) Who does not change status with time  {“Jesus Christ is the same today as he was yesterday and as he will be forever” Heb.13:8}.
