Do you think this old wicked world will be destroyed and God will make a new paradise for the good people?

Yes I do. That is what the bible has promised.
Ps 37: 10, 11 & 29 "And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more: And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it."
Isaiah. 33: 24 "no resident will say "I am sick"
Isaiah 35: 5-7 "eyes of the blind will be open, ears of the deaf ones will be unstopped...the lame one will climb up just as a stag does, and the tongue of the speechless one will cry out in gladness...the wilderness waters will burst out, and torrents in the desert plain.."
Isaiah 65: 21-25 "They will build houses and have occupancy, and they will certainly plant vineyards and eat their fruitage....for the days of a tree will the days of my people be; and the work of their own hands my chosen ones will use to the full.....The wolf and the lamp themselves will feed as one, and the lion will eat straw just like the bull; and as for the serpent, his food will be dust. They will do no harm nor cause any ruin in all my holy mountain, Jehovah has said."
Isaiah 11: 6-9 "And the wolf will actually reside with the lamb, and with the kid the leopard itself will lie down, and the calf and the maned young lion and the well-fed animal all together, and a mere little boy will be leader over them. And the cow and the bear themselves will feed; together their young ones willlie down. And even the lion will eat straw just like the bull. And the sucking child will certainly pay upon the wholeof a cobra; and upon the light aperture of a poisonous snake will a weaned child actually put his own hand. They will not do any harm or cause any ruin in all my holy mountain; because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters are covering the very sea."
Ps 72: 16 " plenty of grain on the earth"
Rev. 21: 3 & 4 "wipe out every tear from their eye and death will be no more..."
This paradise is also for those who have died and will be resurrected. All will have the opportunity to serve God and live on the paradise earth forever. John 5: 28 & 29 "the hour is coming when all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out..."
This is the good news of the God's Kingdom that we pray for in the Lords Prayer and that Jesus commanded to be preached, before the end came. Matt 24:14 "This good news of the kingdom will be preached to all the inhabited earth for a witness to all nations, and then the end will come."

Hi seeker of truth.
Yes. Jesus is going to come to earth and set up a kingdom where he will be king of kings. Each country will have a king and he will be the king of them all and they will all answer to him. This will happen for a 1000 years and then he will create a new heaven and a new earth.
This 1000 year reign on earth will be a wonderful time and all the people of the world will be following Jesus.
Before that 1000 years though over half of the population of the earth are going to die in the last judgements prophesied about in the Book of Revelation.
I hope this helps
Take care and blessings.
Matthew

Paradise: the year is 1954 and I am 18 and she is 19 and a redhead with long legs and a kiss-me smile. We are walking hand-in-hand around Washington Square Park on a coolish fall afternoon. We stop to put a quarter (a lot of money then) in a street musician's can. I look over at her, and she smiles. "I love you," she says. Not long after that we marry and then our son is born. Paradise on earth. (She died in 2003).

No because paradise can not exist because everyone has conflicting ides of what paradise would be. I for one think that would be a world with out pickles. But for someone else I am sure the pickle would have to exist. But in its existance would mean it is not paradise for me and vice versa.

Paradise on earth is a state of mind- the earth doesn't have to be destroyed to achieve it.

No. I think life's a one shot thing, and this world is either paradise or hell depending on your choices. Hell/Heaven's just a metaphor for life on earth.

Some peoples believe that God create Heaven almost the same time He create the universe.
