Does God Want To Change The World?

I pose a question.


Even though God could easily change the world if He wanted to, turn it upside down(he did it with 12 men in the time of the early church), is that His plan?

Is it God's plan for the world to be changed? In revelation, it seems that He wants to eliminate it and make a new one.
Now don't get me wrong. I firmly believe that God wants to change individuals. And I also believe He wants us to be a part of that work.
But all of this "changing the world for Christ" stuff sounds more like we're trying to patch up a failing system with religious ideas. I'm not entirely sure anymore that God wants to change the world...because our current system doesn't work. It isn't in need of change or "tweaking." It is in need of being eliminated entirely.

Man is in the business of making systems.

God is(from what I have understood through scripture) in the business of making life where there previously was none.

After all, Christ came to earth...and when He did, it wasn't to get rid of their system. It wasn't to give Rome the boot. It wasn't to overthrow Herod. It wasn't even to defame the hypocritical pharisees. It was to bring us life. He said it Himself... "I have come that they may life and have it to the full." He also said that His kingdom was not of this world.
When Christ ascended to heaven, the Roman empire remained intact, the hypocritical pharisees still remained the primary religious authority in Jerusalem. What changed was not the world, it was rather the people(some of them, anyway) that were in it. These people then spread this contagious life to others. The world still continued largely as it was for a while until the integration of Christianity into the upper echelon of the Roman empire...which, let's just be honest, resulted in the collapse of their civilization...yet it also paved the way for the rapid spread of the gospel throughout the entire world.
Some, I believe, mistake this to mean that God's is interested in changing the whole world. But I say it was simply because God wanted to save many. Individuals, that is. Like you. And me. The only time Christianity turned into anything ugly is when man tried to transform it into another earthly system.



These are just thoughts of mine. Take them carefully. Don't believe something that I said without examining the facts for yourself. I could be wrong about some things.

But it is intriguing. Go check it out.
