Eschatology is about the past, present and future. As Christians we are concerned with all three (Eph 1.3-14).
In very broad terms the biblical sweep is from creation to the new creation by way of redemption, which is, in effect the renewing of creation. yet the end is not merely a return to the beginning ... ~ William Dumbrell, The Search for Order: Biblical Eschatology in Focus
God's creation was good. Man fell into sin and paradise was lost. God however promised redemption which has begun and will ultimately be fulfilled. But that fulfillment will be more than a return to paradise. It will be paradise glorified.
