Revelation 21:1-2
King James Version
21 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.
2 And I John saw the holy city,
new Jerusalem,
coming down from God out of heaven,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
What is there to look forward to?
Much, according to the Book of Revelation.
Apostle John was shown a "new heaven and a new earth".
Here's what believers can partake from:

and he shall be my son.

descending out of heaven from God,

and names written thereon,
which are the names of the twelve tribes
of the children of Israel:

to measure the city,
and the gates thereof,
and the wall thereof.

and the length is as large as the breadth:
and he measured the city with the reed,
twelve thousand furlongs.

an hundred and forty and four cubits*,
according to the measure of a man,
that is, of the angel.

any thing that defileth,

but they which are written
in the Lamb's book of life.
