Is it because Jesus said "I come not to bring peace to the earth but a sword" that you wish for the sword to come?
Whoever loves God will do his commandments, and whoever does not love God will strive against his commandments, but they shall not change God's mind on this matter by trying to gaslight him.

Blessed am I now proven the Salt of God, with joy I shall accept my promotion up higher in the Kingdom of God, in the name of Jesus, amen.
Matthew 5:10-19
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

You are smart, it has indeed been the way God acts throughout history to such wicked societies. Sorry it was not clear that was what you were asking. To answer you more directly; I personally expect since God is already judging them, and seeing indeed how they react to God's judgements, that they will not acknowledge their offenses, nor repent, and so the power of the nations shall be broken and they will not revive, but fall away, and will become twice the children of hell that they are already and incur further damnation upon themselves. If however I am wrong and they do acknowledge their errors sufficiently and repent of them and turn back tothe Lord God and do his commandments, to reward the righteous, punish the wicked, depart from the lies, and lodge in the truth, I will not be disappointed with that though. Nevertheless it is not for me to pick their fate nor to protest against God.
I have His word, am not into witchcraft or divination, and as scripture says many times not to look or judge on the outward appearance. The Bible gives numbers that have meaning, perhaps numerology wasn't the best word to use apparently, but ty for the advice, i will consider not using the word for those so eager to label others for using it, thankfully God knows my heart in what I was trying say, and not man.
