No. So this is either all now or a mixture of the now and not yet. Can't be an all not yet. So which is it and what fits in what and how do we know?
If we were scientists we would say this is the "ultimate anomaly." As good theologians, whenever we come to a passage in the bible that is "glorious/prosperity/joyful/victorious" we a priori relegate it to the "not yet."

This passage, however, has realities in it that are impossible in the "restored cosmos." Thus I can only conclude that things will get better in space-time history.
