Revelation 20:11

“I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God.”

Contextual link to the judgment scene in Revelation

“As I looked, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were ablaze. A river of fire was flowing, coming out from before him.”

Similar imagery of a divine throne and judgment

“By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.”

Relates to the destruction of the old order

“Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.”

The disappearance of the old heaven and earth is connected to the new creation.

“"See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.”
