"There is really nothing complicated about the new heavens and the new earth. To aid our understanding of this beautiful truth let us learn a lesson from the symbolisms of the book of Revelation. The key to this understanding is the word “sea.” As soon as John sees the new heaven and the new earth he immediately notes that “there was no more sea.” Again and again throughout the book of Revelation we have shown that the word “sea” is not used in the literal sense of the vast oceans of earth, but in a figurative and symbolic way. The vast majority of the events in the Revelation take place in one of three dimensions: HEAVEN, EARTH, and SEA. These three realms, of course, represent three dimensions of life within each of us, three states of being, life-styles, levels of consciousness, spheres of existence, and realms of experience. There is a “heaven” realm within our spirit, an “earth” realm within our soul, and a “sea” realm within our body. The highest of these realms is heaven — where God dwells in our spirit. Earth is the in-between realm, a dimension that at its highest touches heaven, and at its lowest kisses the sea. That is the soul which lies between the spirit and the body. It can yield to the spirit above to become heavenly, or to the sea (body realm, flesh nature) to become sensual and devilish."
"The lowest of these three realms is the sea. Throughout the scriptures the sea is a type of the inner storms and turbulent nature of the Adamic man. The prophet Isaiah penned these inspired words: “The wicked are like the troubled sea, which cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked” (Isa. 57:20-21). Jude also described wicked men when he said, “These are raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame” (Jude 13). No one can dispute the fact that it is this restless, turbulent, raging, evil heart of the fleshly man, with the passions and lusts and the motions of sin that lurk in the body with its lower nature, that inspires every evil and devilish perversion, and has filled the world with ever increasing confusion, faithlessness, immorality, falsehood, fraud, hatred, violence, greed, cruelty, strife, wars, bloodshed, and every wicked work. It is more than a raging sea of evil — it is a virtual tsunami of self-destruction!"
Much more in the link:
"Now, when John says, “…and there was no more sea,” that does not suggest to me that the vast oceans of earth have dried up. That tells me that there is no more realm for a dragon to rise out of; Leviathan, that serpent in the sea, has been destroyed. There are no more men in whom the dragon nature agitates, tosses, overthrows, and torments them like the troubled sea. That tells me that all men have been reconciled to God, the nature has been transformed, and the peace and righteousness and love of God reigns in every heart. It is already true within the elect of the Lord! Ah, there is a place — a place in God’s new heaven and in God’s new earth, in the triumph of Christ raised up in our land, where the anguish represented by the sea exists for us no more! When all men, and all things, and all realms have been restored into Christ again it shall truly be said, “AND THERE WAS NO MORE SEA!”
"In the kingdom it is no longer God ruling over you by His sovereignty from without, but the life, mind, heart, nature, power, wisdom, knowledge, and will of God entering into you, becoming your very own reality."
"God does not intend to graft the system of His kingdom upon the fleshly ways of man, nor upon the tired old methods of religious Babylon, nor to make the new Adam to grow out of the old Adam, nor to evolve the new heaven and the new earth out of the old heaven and earth, but He intends to teach us this: “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creation: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (II Cor. 5:17). “And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new” (Rev. 21:5)."
"Consider again these awesome words: “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away.” How unutterably significant this is! John tells us in the plainest of words that there is a new heaven and a new earth for…that is, because…the former heaven and the former earth had passed away. The message is just this — God cannot bring forth His new until the old has been done away with! If the Spirit of God has begun to build in your life a new world and a new order, and left any of the old citadels of fleshly living, of self-will, of carnal understanding, of religious mentality, and worldly ways and means standing, they would have to come down. You may congratulate yourself upon their remaining, but it is a false congratulation, your glorying is not good. I am sure of this, that Christ will never put a new piece upon an old garment, or new wine in old wineskins: He knows the rent would be worse in the long run, and the bottles would burst. All that is of the flesh’s spinning must be unraveled. The natural building must come down, lath and plaster, stud and truss, roof and foundation, and we must have a house not made with hands, of a new creation."
Are you saying this planet and everything on it has to get destroyed before new earth can habben
No, the planet has nothing to do with the new heaven and earth, it is a spiritual reality in a people, in all people. The new earth is already habbening if you are living in the kingdom of God, and following Jesus Christ, by the Holy Spirit. The new heaven and earth started when Jesus Christ arose from the dead, ascended into the heavens and sent His Spirit to live IN you and me.
When you're seeking the kingdom of God daily, you're living in newness of life. The link is all about it, it is one part of a 250 part series on the book of Revelation. I highly recommend it for understanding the book of Revelation. Here is the Index:

"Dear ones, how can we live in the heavens? Just by being in Christ. Christ has ascended. Christ is now the highest heaven in this universe. I believe most of my readers understand now what it means to experience the ascended Christ, to daily live out our lives in the victory and triumph of the Son of God, far above the sorrows, strife, sin, problems, limitation, struggles, fears, disappointments, and death of the carnal realm. THIS is Sonship! Sometimes I hear people say, “Oh, I am so worried,” or “My, I am quite depressed!” Do you know what that means? It means that they are under the power of death. Whenever you feel depressed, it means that you are under the threatening of death, you are under the power of darkness. You must learn how to appropriate Christ, the ascended Christ, to your circumstances and life situation. You must acknowledge your standing in Christ immediately. You must say, “I do not agree to be depressed or victimized by any kind of situation. I have the ascended Christ; I am in the ascended Christ.” When you thus draw from Him you will BE RESURRECTED, you will BE ASCENDED, for the Christ whom you contact in your spirit IS THE CHRIST WHO HAS ASCENDED INTO THE HEAVENS. When you stand in union with Him you are high above the mountains, not in the valleys. You will be in the heavenly places, far above the earth. The problem is that far too often we forget that we are ONE WITH such a Christ who is ascended far above all! We do not appropriate Him. We do not come to Him. We do not contact Him in our spirit. We do not take our stand in union with Him."
