Jesus described the future with phrases like: “the age to come” (Mark 10:30), “the renewal of all things” (Matt 19:28), “my kingdom” (Luke 22:30), “the resurrection” (Matt 22:28). Peter described it as: “the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time” (Acts 3:21). Paul said that the Spirit of God within us and  “the whole creation groans” for this time (Rom 8:22). - Joel Richardson
