He had no doubt but it was not Jehovah's will. I agree with you he will be resurrected in paradise earth.
I believe scriptures lend reason to believe that John may have had doubts. Yes, he no doubt heard the stories about his cousin, growing up, he leaped for joy in Elizabeth's (his mothers) womb (Luke 1:41). But remember while in prison, he told his disciples to ask Jesus if he truly was the promised one, or if they should look for another. Jesus gave them a reply, and John was no doubt satisfied. - Luke 7:18-22
Had John lived longer, he would have without a doubt, not only a walking talking disciple of Jesus, he most likely would have been an apostle. But he never reached that goal, and Jesus said "Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he." - Matt 11:11
