The similar phrase 'Worldly Christianity' is one used by Bonhoeffer. It's J Gresham Machen that I want to line up most closely with. See his Christianity and culture here. Having done commentaries on Proverbs (Heavenly Wisdom) and Song of Songs (Heavenly Love), a matching title for Ecclesiastes would be Heavenly Worldliness. For my stance on worldliness, see 3 posts here.

1. No more sea
Rev 21:1 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.
2. No more death
Rev 21:2-4 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Look! God's dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 'He will wipe every tear from their eyes.
There will be no more death'
3. No more mourning or mourning
4No more crying or crying
5. No more  pain or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
6. No more temples Rev 21:22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
7. No more sun or moon Rev 21:23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.
8. No more impurity Rev 21:27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.
9. No more curse Rev 22:3 No longer will there be any curse.
The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
10. No more night
Rev 22:5 There will be no more night.
They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.
