Right from the time of Noah to the time of the Christ, God had made a lot of promises to His children, the top promise on the list being an assured blessing to those who are obedient to Him. If you take a closer look at some of the Bible restoration promises that happened, you will realize that God was genuine about His promises to humankind. God still make promises to people until this day.
If you have been reading your Bible carefully, you already know what the world has been like. And even thousands of books have been written, each talking about the evils of humankind and where all these started. In as much as the first human beings rebelled against and death became the results of such sins, God was still so merciful enough that He decided that the best thing to do is to restore the relationship between him and the world.
The first point in human history where God made a promise to restore humankind was at the time of Noah. God would have chosen to destroy the world, and life would no longer exist. Instead, he made a promise that He would restore the earth, and never again in heaven and earthly history destroy the world with such a big storm like he did.
The Good Lord was okay with this rebellion though. After all, it was difficult for any person to love by the law and at the same time live right before the sight of God for the simple reason that it was difficult to live by the law. And because human beings are weak and subject to sinning, there had to be a better way to connect human beings with God.
The case of the children of Israel in exile is quite a perfect way that shows the restorative nature of God. God having seen the evil done to His children in Egypt decided that the best way to rescue them would be to send them a savior, Moses. With the help of God Moses was able to take the children of Israel out of Egypt, the exodus to the promises land.
Prophet Daniel further foretold of a king who would come and rule the earth. John the Baptist spoke of the Lamb of God to the people, and said that He would be greater and Baptize people with the Holy Spirit and fire. Prophet Joel spoke of the last days where God would pour out His spirit to men, and this would be the exact gift, which Christ would bring.
Perhaps there is nothing grater like the biblical promise of the restoration of the relationship between God and humankind. This, if anything, is what would bring God and the people that He had created together again, and he would do this by giving his only one son, Jesus, as a sacrifice. Jesus came, died for the sins of mankind and redeemed every person back to God.
People would not be praying to God if they did not have an intimate relationship with him. They would not be hoping for a future kingdom of there was nothing as such. Today, you are a friend of God, and He is with you wherever you go.
