J.C. Ryle on Christ and the Future of Sin

"There is a time coming when sin shall be cast out from this world.  Wickedness shall not always flourish unpunished, Satan shall not always reign, creation shall not always groan, being burdened.  There shall be a time of restitution of all things.  There shall be a new heaven and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness, and the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea (Rom. 8:22; Acts 3:21; 2 Pet. 3:13; Isa. 11:9).

"And where shall Christ be then?  And what shall He do?

"Christ Himself shall be King.  He shall return to this earth, and make all things new.  He shall come in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory, and the kingdoms of the world shall become His. The heathen shall be given to Him for His inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for His possession.  To Him every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that He is Lord.  His dominion shall be an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed (Matt. 24:30; Rev. 11:15; Ps. 2:8; Phil. 2:10, 11; Dan. 7:14)" (Holiness, J.C. Ryle).
