How can it be millenial if 3 verses before it says God makes a new heaven and a new earth, just as it says in the first verse of Revelation 21, which you place AFTER the millenium?

It has to be millennial if there is mortality.
We go to the NHNE when the physical/temporal universe is extinguished. If that has not happened, then the millennial period is not completed yet.
Reading The Revelation requires steady attention, since it jumps back and forth constantly, showing what is happening in two very different places at once. These are customarily called “parentheticals.”
