The world that God reign is the world of paradise and the world of peace. God created heaven and earth and all things and people in it 6,000 years ago and He dwelt among them. However, God left due to the sins of Adam (Gen. 1:2-3; Gen. 6:3). Satan has reigned over this world where God is no longer (Mt. 4:8-9; Lk 4:5-6). It has become the world of wars and death. God has been working to restore the world (Ref. 1 Cor 15:27-28) and Satan has been working to keep the world which he has taken from God. Thus, there has been wars between God (and His world) and Satan (and his world) for the last 6,000 years. There were physical wars before the first coming of Jesus and spiritual wars after Jesus' first coming (Ref. Eph 6:12). In order for God who left the world, to return and be with people, the problem of sin must be resolved. God sent Jesus as the prince of peace to the world at the time of the first coming to resolve the problem of sin. However, God's chosen people at the time did not receive him but crucified him(John 1:11, Mt. 27). Therefore, there have been only wars (spiritual) but no peace in the world. As a result, Jesus said not one stone will be left on another, every one will be thrown down (Mt 24). He promised that he would return, not to bear sin, and at that time he will make the enemies his footstool.
Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed it it will stand -Isaiah 14:24 |
What all creation and men want is for God's kingdom to be fulfilled on earth as it is done in heaven(Roman 8:18-23). Revelation chapter 4 says that God (and His spirits) is coming and God's spiritual tabernacle will come to people and dwell among them in Revelation 21. Then, the spirits in the spiritual world and the flesh on earth will unite and this is the world that God and we desire which is the world of peace and God's world (Revelation 20:4-6). God's word of promise have been fulfilled in the biblical history of 6000 years (Isaiah 14:24; Mt 5:18). The dragon (Satan) will be captured and God's kingdom will be created on earth today at the time of the second coming according to the promises in the New Testament. This kingdom is created through the promised pastor who overcame. God, the spiritual kingdom of heaven and Jesus are with the one who overcomes(Revelation 3:12). It is the Temple of the Tabernacle of the Testimony where those who overcame the group of beast are gathered and where all nations come to worship God according to the promises in the Bible(Revelation 15:2, 5).
