In the book of Revelation it shows that Satan is cast into a pit and ultimately judged. It also shows that the New Jerusalem descends to the Earth. The nations walk in the light. Also the NT shows that the saints will reign, with Jesus, on this earth.
I also have previously answered the question about why we haven't done it yet. First, there is a process in which the church, as the One New Man, matures. This is taking time. According to the record of the Bible the total time is about 10,000 years. The Bible makes it clear that our perspective of time is different from God's, so in our time frame this may seem quite long, in God's time frame it is similar to a week. Of course I used the analogy of building the Irving hall and in that time frame it took 37 seconds.
