While we journey on this planet in this time and space, we can look to the higher realms, through Christ.
It is possible for a “shift” or recreation to occur in a nano second. Indeed the world we live in is constantly being recreated just as it was in Genesis by His Hand.
So let us fix our eyes upon Jesus and try to work ourselves free of the bonds of self, selfishness, self-seeking, lust, profit and gain and especially from sins of the flesh for these keep us tied to this earthly realm.
The less attachment or devotion to the flesh and all its needs, the higher we can climb out of this dungeon bounded by time and space.
So always look for the good, the noble, the tru and the beautiful
and seek Him.
Life in the Spirit is the only way out.

According to what I read, even the 1000 year reign of Christ, doesn’t “fix” the world. When the Lord withdraws for a moment of test at the end, the whole world, not in the “camp of God” make war against God just as they did at the beginning of the thousand year reign– Armageddon. Doesn’t that prove a point? Even Christ gives “this world” no hope, and Daniel said that everything of the world “blows away in the wind.” (Daniel’s interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of the great statue.)

The heart is “beyond cure.” (Jeremiah 17:9). So flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.

By God’s Spirit, we have got to get new hearts that stay out of this flesh, out of this world, out of money, out of mere time, out of the world’s viewpoint. We have nothing in common here. We’re on enemy territory.

Our citizenship is in heaven. Our word for this world, speaks from that viewpoint.
