Hi, I have several questions that I would like to ask:

Who are the people of Jesus' New Covenant? Are they the rulers of God's kingdom in heaven? Are they the people here on earth?
( after the second coming that is)

Is heaven going to be a kingdom of kings and priests? What of the people left on earth? Will there be a separate heaven and earth like there is now?

The bible talks about a new heaven and a new earth after the second coming. Who are the rulers in heaven?

I am totally confused about this new heavens and new earth and who will be where and who will be ruling.

Rev. 21:3 JB Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne. You see this city? Here God lives among men. He will make his home among them: they shall be his people, and he will be their God: his name is God with them.

Does this mean that God is with us spiritually or will Jesus be physically walking among us here on earth. ( again, after the second coming)

Any enlightenment will be much appreciated.
Thanks

I suggest that you spend your time making sure you end up there. The specifics should be left to God. He's good at it.

God here is Our Lord Jesus Christ, in body ( not just in spirit). Here is the verse from the Douay Rheims with commentary.

Quote from: Rev 21:3

[3] And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying: Behold the tabernacle of God with men, and he will dwell with them. And they shall be his people; and God himself with them shall be their God.

"The Church triumphant. This tabernacle is Christ according to his humanity. This happy day shall make and end of all the miseries of this mortality".
