Do you even know what that word means lol hint it hase to do with race. Is calvinisim a race now?
Acts 3:19-21
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you—even Jesus. Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.
That is not speaking of an eternal new order like you mentioned.
That speaks of the Millennium, when the lion will lie down with the lamb, and man will war no more.
It will be the same planet as the one we are on now, having been restored.
As far as the "eternal" new world?
The eternal new order will also be called a new heaven and a new earth.
But it will be not a restoration.
For there will be an utter destruction of this planet to be replaced by an entirely new creation that will be everlasting.
The new heaven and new earth to follow the end of the Tribulation will last 1000 years only.
It will not be eternal.

Nope. We're in the "millennium" in which Christ is currently ruling. There are no multiple second advents.
This is how FWers keep themselves joyously free FROM God. They substitute the potential Savior for the one they think is the real, actual, effectual savior of men which is their "freewill".
Everyone is told not to cast pearls. Teachers are there to instruct. This includes answering questions, and not avoiding them because the answers reveal inconvenient truth.
When I was a boy I had neighbors. Two brothers.
One day they told me that they had a relative who thought it was raining outside all the time.
That person needed to be institutionalized.
So why should I wish to argue with you?
Feel free to believe what you choose to believe even though it is not true...
I learned that certain people are not to be argued with.
proper teachers of the word wouldn't dream of saying the things you do.
And teachers of the word would have apologised long ago for there behaviour and not carried on.
There's has to be an anointing from God to be a teacher as far as I'm concerned, and whilst you could get that anointing I just don't think you have yet.
Because your in disagreement with anything that doesn't fit with the the first thought that comes into your head for one thing a lot of the time
And another is you want to be heard, like anyone else.
Only you won't admit at much.
I just thought that if I ask cv5 to translate into an unfamiliar language, it would keep him busy for quite a while. And, we all know if asked, he has the ability to do it of his own free will!Is that a forked-tongue language?
Instruct who?
Instruct what?
Not those who will only want to pick apart what is taught to see if they can find a way to obscure its meaning.
And, to disrupt by adding confusion to the confusion they already caused.
Some here really want to learn truth.
You keep making yourself to be as someone trying to make sure that it will not happen.
