God never gave up His ownership of us. When Adam sinned, his punishment was death and he died. His body died and returned to dust, his soul died, and his spirit returned to God. The earth and all that is within it and on it belongs to God.
One day all will be made new and that includes all who have died, who currently reside in and on the earth. The earth itself will be made new (qualitatively new, not quantitatively new according to the definition). He does not make all new things, but He will
make
all
things
new.
"And He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." And He said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true." Revelation 21:5
God bless.

The fact is our Abba declares the end is a final victory of God in every dimension of the ta pante (the all). It is not partial victory. Our God completes what He begins as Author in a grand program as Finisher.

"Because of the sacrifice of the Messiah, his blood poured out on the altar of the Cross, we’re a free people—free of penalties and punishments chalked up by all our misdeeds. And not just barely free, either. Abundantly free! He thought of everything, provided for everything we could possibly need, letting us in on the plans he took such delight in making. He set it all out before us in Christ, [b]a long-range plan in which everything would be brought together and summed up in him, everything in deepest heaven, everything on planet earth. It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our hopes up, he had his eye on us, had designs on us for glorious living, part of the overall purpose he is working out in everything and everyone." -MSG-

The second death is a part of the process of making all things new. All who are cast into the lake of fire will be made new. Just as the old man is put to death in believers, the old man in those who are cast into the last of fire, must be annihilated, destroyed. Then they will be made new just as we are being made into His image today. God bless.
