ok, let me try this again. Where will you and the Lord be? (and please don't tell me heaven since I'm not sure where you believe heaven is. Got a map? :') ).

I believe in the same heaven after death you do. I believ that the Revelation 21 was concerning the NOW, but I still believe that after death we go to what Paul called the 3rd heaven. It is where our spiritual bodies dwell with the Lord. It is the only state we are able to see Him as Moses partially did on the Mount.

That is why I say, there is no need to have some utopia here on earth. We graduate to a much better reality when we die.
What the Jews hoped for was a resurrection of the dead to be able to go to that 3rd heaven. It already happened. Now when we die, we go strait to it instead of going to Hades as in the past to await the resurrection.
