It is true that we in the Dispensation of Grace will be seated in the heavenlies.
Those in the older dispensations will inherit the new earth.

Mr Hill,
There is no 'older' dispensation as to salvation which was promised and is now come, for there was never an "Acceptable Year of the LORD which ended sins's remembrance and allowed the vale to the Holy of Holies to be split and "a Man to ascend" to the "Holy of Holies".
Sorry this is long -but for this it is short, really. There is so much more one can find in the Word for themselves about the One Way Plan for Redemption of the lost kingdom and the lost seed in Adam.
No human being ascended to the throne prepared for "man" and "ben Adam" until the New Man descended as YHWH come in flesh of the second creation to ascend to that throne and share the inheritance He redeemed back, for the Father's glory, with all the adopted sons, who are born again into His Living New Man Spirit.
Jhn 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, [even] the Son of man which is in heaven.
All who are redeemed will be “seated in the heavenlies” in the New Man, and will sit on their thrones of honor/glory, and will inherit the earth which Adam was given, which our head sold, which the New Man ransomed.
The uniting of heaven with earth, when the Father and the Son are united together in the Redeemed, when the heavens and the earth are regenerated, is the Restoration the Son of Man/Son of God is come in human flesh to be the Redeemer of, for the reason of the restoring of the lost kingdom back for the Glory of the Father to indwell.
That is why Zion, the City of God, comes down from God out of heaven to earth as the Celestial Meeting place, forever, of the redeemed and the Glory, when there will be no more temple in the heavenlies, but God and the Lamb, only, with the City of God as the True Holy of Holies forever, which was patterned in the oracles Moses was given to copy, as a teacher of these things.
the regenerated heaven’s uniting with the regenerated earth in “One” is the theme of redemption.
The uniting of the Father and the Son in “One” as Jesus prayed in John 17, was promised by the Word in Enoch 105;
Enoch [Chapter 105]
1 In those days the Lord bade (them) to summon and testify to the children of earth concerning their wisdom: Show (it) unto them; for ye are their guides, and a recompense over the whole earth. 2 For I and My son will be united with them for ever in the paths of uprightness in their lives; and ye shall have peace: rejoice, ye children of uprightness. Amen.
Jhn 17:11And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we [are].
…
Jhn 17:20¶Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
Jhn 17:21That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
Jhn 17:22And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
Jhn 17:23I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
Jhn 17:24Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
Jhn 14:3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.
Earth’s spiritual dominion is the lowest heaven, where the Mount of the LORD is, where the Son is now seated as the ascended Son of Man [Psalm 2], which Adam lost ascension to by his failing the testing in the Garden, which Garden is that Holy Mount Zion, called the throne of the Righteous Holy One.
The New Man was tried, and is the “Tried Stone” who is the Chief Foundation Stone of the New Man which is to rule the dominion Adam lost.
Redemption is back -to what was, in Adam, but lost, and to what is restored in Israel, the New Man, who is YHWH the Word, come in a second human being creation body of flesh to be brother to Adam to legally serve as Kinsman/Redeemer and to keep the inheritance given the man and ‘son of Adam’ from being lost forever.
Hannah understood this, as she has read the writings of wisdom given to Enoch, and she prayed this prayer gleaned from Enoch’s writings [which the Psalmist later also copied ];
1 Samuel 2And Hannah prayed and said:
"My heart rejoices in the Lord; My *horn is exalted in the Lord. I smile at my enemies, Because I rejoice in Your salvation.
…..
6 "The Lord kills and makes alive; He brings down to the grave and brings up.7 The Lord makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and lifts up.8 He raises the poor from the dust And lifts the beggar from the ash heap, To set them among princes And make them inherit the throne of glory.
"For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, And He has set the world upon them.9 He will guard the feet of His saints, But the wicked shall be silent in darkness.” For by strength no man shall prevail.10 The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken in pieces; From heaven He will thunder against them. The Lord will judge the ends of the earth.
"He will give strength to His king, And exalt the horn of His anointed."
God gave the earth to Adam -and ben Adam; forever, and the dominion of the heavenlies connected to this earth was to be Adam’s forever, but Adam fell as son of God and got kicked out of the dominion of the heavenlies, the Mount of the LORD, where the Throne of earth’s Son of Man/Son of God was empty until the New Man came and ascended.
He already was seated in the created highest heaven as YHWH, the Word, on the Throne of YHWH, and was the Glory of God whom no created being could even look into the face of, who was to come in human flesh of the second creation and is come and shall come.
Now He is also seated on Mount Zion, the realm of the heavenlies of this earth’s spiritual dominion, which Adam lost, as the Firstborn of earth, the Beloved Son of Man/son of God, YHWH come as our Redeemer and Hero, to do for us what no Adam could do for himself nor for any other. With the spiritual dominion lost, the Glory of the Father departed, and the earth became corrupt and sin and death were masters of the kingdom.

The Messiah's Triumph and Kingdom
(Acts 4:23-31)
Why do the nations rage,
And the people plot a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,
3 "Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us."
4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision.
5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure:
6 "Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion."
7 "I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me,' You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.
8 Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
9 You shall *break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel.'"
10 Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
12 *Kiss the Son, lest *He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.
Adam was made son of God [Luke 3:38], with a dominion -but he also had to pass the testing to come into his full promised inheritance. He failed and we all died in him, our head.
To receive the inheritance we lost in Adam we must be born from above into the Living Spirit of the Living Son of Man/Son of God who has ransomed it back for the Glory of the Father.
Psa 115:16The heaven, [even] the heavens, [are] the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of Adam***.
He formed it to be inhabited with sons of God “human -kind“, for the Father‘s Glory to indwell, as His house not made with hands.
The Redeemer ransoms the lost kingdom and shares the inheritance of the Father with all who are born into His New Man Spirit.
.To ascend to Mount Zion above is to get back the authority in the New Man which is lost in Adam.
The Living Oracles teach all these things and there is only One Plan and One Name given in which all must enter into the inheritance we lost in Adam.
Today is the Day of Salvation -the call is given to all to come into His Life, while it is still “Today” the “Acceptable Year of the LORD“, in which all are invited to enter into the gates of the City of God through the “Strait Gate” the bound New Man body, as our Mercy Seat, and now our “Throne of Grace” to which all may come unto in His name to find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 11, 12 shows the inheritance is the heavenly City to which all the Redeemed of this earth’s entire appointed time of harvest growing from the beginning to the end are to come to.
Hbr 11:10For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker [is] God.
Hbr 11:13¶These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of [them], and embraced [them], and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Hbr 11:14For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
Hbr 11:16But now they desire a better [country], that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
Hbr 11:39And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
Hbr 11:40God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
Hbr 12:22But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
Hbr 12:23To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
You will find the City of God which He has prepared for those who hate the evil and long for the righteous to have been seen by Enoch [and by all the patriarchs, as Hebrews tells us] and that Enoch longed to go there and was granted that, and was the first one taken there [as the firstborn seed of Christ who is raised to his father’s name [unto Adam] according to the biblical law of Kinsman/Redeemer], and he was translated in body, given garments of glory/eternal life and transported to that City in the future, built upon the Chief Cornerstone and the Apostles and prophets.
That city is coming down to the regenerated earth, and there will be no heavenly temple as there is now, for God and the Lamb are the temple thereof.
