You are waiting for it. Peter was not waiting for it. Christ was not waiting for it. None of the New Testament writers were waiting for it. No cognizant New Covenant Child of God has ever been waiting for it.Peter is waiting for this:
"Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy."
Everlasting righteousness starts at the Second Coming. That is the Day of the Lord.
Heaven and Paradise certainly don't need everlasting righteousness. They were never corrupted by sin.
Lots of righteousness was reigning already 2,000 years ago. Nobody was waiting for it.
1 Corinthians 1:30
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
2 Corinthians 5:21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
1 Peter 2:24
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
1 John 2:29
If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
If it wasn't everlasting righteousness, tell us from Scripture when it ended. Book, chapter, and verse. Not your usual scriptureless opinion.
