No, it's just that there's more to the picture:

Matthew 26:32: "But after I have been raised up, I will go ahead of you
into Galilee."

Matthew 28:7-10: "Then go quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has been
raised from the dead, and he is going before you to Galilee; there you
will see him.' Behold, I have told you." Then they went away quickly
from the tomb, fearful yet overjoyed, and ran to announce this to his
disciples. And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them.
They approached, embraced his feet, and did him homage. Then Jesus said
to them, "Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and
there they will see me"

Matthew 28:16: "However, the eleven disciples went into Galilee to the
mountain where Jesus had arranged for them"

So the disciples did go back to Galilee, but after reporting there as
instructed, they then returned to Jerusalem as instructed. There they
awaited the baptism in holy spirit instead of water that Jesus Christ
had promised. (Acts 1:5)

is “IN ETERNITY” because it is outside of time? And which Bible texts can
you use to show that punishment from God is not “temporal”?
Please specify.

Hades gave up those dead in them, - see Rev 20

What is “fair” according to God’s justice? Exodus 21:23 - Fair , see the
equality.
Psalms 37:34 - wicked will be cut-off. (not torture forever).

And look at God’s quality, his quality is different than ours -

He wi
