No atmosphere (heavens), no elements, no earth.
Gone, burnt up, incinerated.
No one is coming back. Nothing to come back to.
When He comes, everyone will be leaving. Either with Him or away from Him.

How about these verses:

Genesis 9:16 "And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth."

Psalms 104:1-5 "Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great . . . Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever."

Ecclesiastes 1:4 "One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever."

John 3:17 "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world . . ."

Revelation 11:15 "And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever."

Revelation 19:15 "And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron..."

Revelation 21:3 "And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God."

Revelation 21:24-26 "And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it [the Holy City]: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it."
(note there are still nations, and there are still kings, after the judgement.)

Revelation 22:2 "In the midst of the street of it [the Holy City], and on either side of the river [river of water of life], was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations." (note again there are still nations, and they are healed.)"

2 Peter 3: 12 waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be kindled and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fire! 13 But according to his promise we wait for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. 14 Therefore, beloved, since you wait for these, be zealous to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace.

Revelation 3: 11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. 12 Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name. 13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

New earth, new heaven, new Jerusalem. The old stuff is toast. Forever lasts until God says it's over. He is Forever.
