Actually, the Bible teaches that in the last days, wickedness shall wax worse and worse, apostasy and false prophets will increase, that men shall be mockers, and turn to lies and fables, that the Lawless One, Satan will abound more and more, that he will reach the pinnacle of his deceptive powers, and that ONLY the return of Jesus Christ will bring about the restoration, not the other way around. Jesus tarries now, as the Holy Spirit works through the Church (all Christians) to save everyone He can, but mankind will grow worse and worse and finaly Christ will snatch the Church up in the Rapture, and Satan will have his day. Only when Christ returns with ten-thousands of His saints (us) will Satan be finaly defeated, BY CHRIST, and be imprisoned for the Millenial Reign of Christ.
2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. (the rapture)
2:8 And then shall that Wicked (the antichrist)be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
(King James Bible, 2 Thessalonians)
5:19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
(King James Bible, 1 John)
2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
(King James Bible, 2 Peter)
3:1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: 3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour: 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
(King James Bible, 2 Peter)
In the last days, MANY will follow false teachers who bring damnable heresies and even DENY the LORD. And there will come scoffers following their own lusts, DENYING THAT JESUS IS COMING. Satan will be rising, sin and false teachers and teachings, and scoffers and wickedness will INCREASE, NOT THE CHURCH. I don't have time nor is this really the place to debate dominionist or restorationist theology. All I can say, is the state of the world when Christ returns, at the END of the Great Tribulation, as seen in Revelation, when God pours His judgement out on this wicked world, (not on the church, we will be gone), will not be all restored and the church will not be in dominion to usher in Christ's Return. The world will Lay in utter WICKEDNESS, the Antichrist, False Prophet, and Satan ruling and reigning at the pinnacle of their power, THEN, only JESUS CHRIST will return and defeat Satan and set up His Millenial Kingdom. This is what the Bible says, this is what MOST theologians teach.
