Someone needs to find an article that says, "Everything is gettin' better 'n better 'til it gets so doggone good, the Lord cain't hep but come back."

How about John 16:33? Christ has overcome the world. Christ reigns today. Christ sits on the right hand of God the Father at this very moment.

Your positive preaching, Pastor, proves the point you question.

"Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear." -- Isaiah 45:22-23

"For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God." -- Romans 14:11

"That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." -- Philippians 2:10-11

Why the Great Commission if it is not God's will that the earth be converted to Christ, that every knee bow?

the earth be converted to Christ,

I know you're not, but that sounds extremely universalistic to me.
