Christ is even now in the process of making all things new. A newness that comes forth from His work of reconciling heaven and earth, men and all that He has made unto Himself. Christ is the Firstborn, and He has in His resurrection inaugurated the process that will reach its full and complete culmination or consummation when Christ comes again in glory to judge both the living and the dead on the last day of this age. The New Heavens and New Earth has already broken through, and with it the glories of Christ's work manifested by the Spirit throughout the earth (Isaiah 65-66). The New Heavens and New Earth also has yet to come in full, when Christ will cast away all that does not belong to the kingdom of redemption, all that is wicked, all that is not done by Word and for His glory.
