It's a day I look forward to, when rebellion is quenched by seeing Him as He is. We often don't realize or perhaps we forget what we are called to become. Maybe this is in order to be comfortable in this present world, but we forget that we aren't supposed to be comfortable here but are to be living in preparation for "there."Dear Gardener: If there are not enough koine words to satisfy, I will create new English words.
Welcome to everlastingness.
It began at Pentecost according to Amos ““In that day I will raise up the fallen booth of David, and wall up its breaches; I will also raise up its ruins And rebuild it as in the days of old;” Amos 9:11 (NASB95). And speaking of the inclusion of the gentiles Peter says; “‘AFTER THESE THINGS I will return, AND I WILL REBUILD THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID WHICH HAS FALLEN, AND I WILL REBUILD ITS RUINS, AND I WILL RESTORE IT, SO THAT THE REST OF MANKIND MAY SEEK THE LORD, AND ALL THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME,’ SAYS THE LORD, WHO MAKES THESE THINGS KNOWN FROM LONG AGO.” Acts 15:16–18 (NASB95)(Not shouting; Caps are part of translation).
But the full restoration happens on the last day in the resurrection of believers, i.e. Israel. “So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, “Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority;” Acts 1:6–7 (NASB95)
And Matthew ties this to the end of the world; ““But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.” Matthew 24:36 (NASB95)
The restitution begins with the New Birth from the time of Abel and other believers onward, to their resurrection of believers (Israel) into the new heavens and earth on the last day.

Definition
Apocatastasis or apokatastasis (from Greek: ἀποκατάστασις; literally, "restoration" or "return") is the teaching that everyone will, in the end, be saved. It looks toward the ultimate reconciliation of good and evil; all creatures endowed with reason, angels and humans, will eventually come to a harmony in God's kingdom. It is based on, among other things, St. Peter's speech in Acts 3.21 ("Christ Jesus who must remain in heaven until the time of the final restoration of all things χρόνων ἀποκαταστάσεως πάντων") and St. Paul's letter to Timothy in which he says that it is God's will that all men should be saved (1 Timothy 2.4).
For Origen, this explicitly included the devil. In effect, apocatastasis denies the final reality of hell, and interprets all Biblical references to the "fires of hell" not as an eternal punishment, but a tool of divine teaching and correction, akin to purgatory. The implication is that hell exists to separate good from evil in the soul.
Among Catholics in the twentieth-century, this doctrine was reinvigorated especially by Hans Urs von Balthasar, who, in his book Dare We Hope 'That All Men Be Saved? (1988), expressed a qualified version of apocatastasis in which we may "hope" that all will be saved. Keeping in mind the conciliar condemnation of Origen, Orthodox theologians who tend towards universalism (the belief that all will be saved) usually argue that all may be saved.

I view Revelation as Covenantal, the OC/Law/Death/Hades vs NC/Grace/Life/Paradise.
If so, couldn't this passage be the removal of 1st century OC Jerusalem and it's Temple Priesthood?

The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up<1667>. Every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

Ah, yes the councils. Fraught with politics and intrigue. Certainly worthy to put one's trust in. If apocatastasis was not to be tolerated ever, why was it not condemned in Origen's lifetime? Surely a doctrine so odioous as the reconciliation of all would have been condemned if not immediately then certainly within his lifetime but such is not the case.Here is the Answer to Every Universalism Thread :

You could say the same about Arianism and Monothelism.Ah, yes the councils. Fraught with politics and intrigue. Certainly worthy to put one's trust in.

I think it's going to be Eden restored .... actually re-created as He originally did in the first place before sin entered into the world and that will be the restoration of all things.
You could say the same about Arianism and Monothelism.
And mentioning that the Councils were mainly about politics, show that you know nothing about them.

Garden of Eden and the sinless life. The “restoration of all things” includes changes to the earth, the way it is governed and the relationship God will have with humanity. Regarding this last change, God desires to have a close relationship with all humans similar to what He had with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden before they sinned.1. What it is.
Jeremiah 30:17-18 'For I will restore you to health And I will heal you of your wounds,' declares the LORD, 'Because they have called you an outcast, saying: "It is Zion; no one cares for her."'
