Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Saints Reign on Earth

The verse speaks of "new heavens and a new earth" where righteousness dwells, which is distinct from the current earth and does not explicitly describe the saints reigning or possessing the earth, but rather inhabiting a new creation.

Restoration of Creation

The verse speaks of "new heavens and a new earth," which could imply a complete replacement rather than a restoration of the existing creation, and the mention of "righteousness dwelling" there focuses on moral order rather than the physical state of the natural world.
