the earth be converted to Christ,

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

If one has a pessimistic view of the future, then one might take a dim view of the "universal" sounding verses.

"And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself." (John 12:32)

"And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world." (1 John 2:2)

The whole world is the object of Christ's salvation. All those who have been predestined to eternal life will be saved. And this will ultimately be a great multitude which no man can number. (Rev. 7:9)
