Yes, this is biblical, and really, I think, the engine that drives the gospel, i.e., the kingdom. The Lord's government and peace would not end (Is 9:7; Lk 1:33).Doesn't explain why god is waiting so long to fix things.Because we rationalize wrong as right instead of being accountable. You more than anyone knows that, right?Why? Or you don't know that either?Us.What's taking him so long?"I am making everything new"__The Lord Jesus Rev.21:5
Nothing on this earth has the power to defeat the finished work of the
Lord Jesus. "It is finished" said Jesus while on The Cross. Here are
the most powerful finished events in all of human history. No power
n the Universe can defeat these:
{1} The Cross -- the power of reconciliation, forgiveness, and restoration -- "being
justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" Romans 5:1
{2} The Resurrection -- the power of that Empty Tomb. He lives. He is alive.
He has conquered Death for us -- we now have eternal life.
{3} The Ascension -- the power of "I go to my Father" , , , "all authority in
Heaven and on earth has been give to me" Matthew 28:18
{4} The Exaltation -- the power of being now seated at the right hand of the
Almighty Sovereign God
The Bible is the true story of God and His Plan to set the world right again.
Yes , , ,
The Bible tells the true story of how God will Christianize the world and
successfully carry out His Son's Great Commission -- to go and make disciples
of all nations -- commanded at the very end of Matthew's gospel.
God is going to fix the world. The world is now broken -- but God is going to
fix it. Hope lives. Love conquers. Victory. The Cross wins the war for the world.
Evil is defeated. The Good wins. The world will be Christianized before the Lord
Jesus returns. The yeast of the gospel will make disciples of all the nations through
the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit who uses the plain simple gospel message
to regenerate the hearts of men and to enable them to believe in Jesus as their
Savior and then to understand the Bible, as the Holy Spirit begins the process
of creating the fruits of the Holy Spirit in their lives , , ,
Step one is John 3:3 -- you must be born again {regenerated}
Step two is John 3:16 -- you must believe in Jesus as your Savior
Step three is Galatians 5:22-23 -- you must allow the Holy Spirit
o produce these 8 qualities within your heart , , ,
Love
Joy
Forbearance
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
Self-control
The Holy Spirit produces these 8 qualities in the hearts of humans.
This process is what finally fixes the world.
"I am making everything new"__The Lord Jesus
"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. ‘He will
wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning
or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Rev. 21:3-4

God is not waiting to fix things.
He has been working steadily over the centuries.
You MUST compare the correct time periods. This means
you do not compare the year 2000 with the year 2021, instead
you compare the year say 1860 with the year 2021 -- do this
and you will observe steady improvement in a large number of
areas of human life.

Armenia, Ethiopia, the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, and on and on; Greece, Denmark, England, Iceland, Norway, Samoa, Tonga, each in due course, one after another, nation after nation by the work of the Holy Spirit, government rested on the Lord’s shoulders; nations began walking in the light of it and even kings began proclaiming it (Rv 21:24). As Zion had clamored for all along, God was rising to inherit all the nations (Ps 82:8).
