Yes, you are correct. The return of Jesus Christ in the flesh to earth will be accompanied by a new heaven and a new earth that will no longer be subject to the curse of sin. There will be a final judgment, in which believers in Jesus Christ will dwell with him forever, and those who do not be cast into hell and the lake of fire.
Your very question seems to view time as some sort of linear measurement. It’s been proven that it is not. All pasts, presents, and possible futures just exist.
The universe doesn’t “end,” so you question is moot. Moot, I say.
The Bible assumes that time is teleological. It is moving forward to a definite point, the return of Jesus Christ, the final judgment, and the end state.
Welp, wouldn't be the first time the Bible was wrong. "Pi = 3" (1 Kings 7:23) comes to mind, for starters.
But maybe you might want to get together with the fella who started the 'what came before the big bang' thread and you two could go discuss it over a beer, and get back to us on that.

You do realize that π is really, really close to 3, right? It’s not as if it said it was 17. Cut the Bible some slack.
It was supposedly written by people who just escaped from building very impressive architecture in Egypt. Much of it was circular, so they had to have known better.
Or maybe it's a fake history and they were never there.
