Why does God just want to "do away" with the world he created instead of revitalizing it?

Yeah, sounds more like a merger than a destruction.

Revelation 21

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

The end timers are humans and God has not told them a thing. Get over it.

Every generation thinks they're the last one. Even Paul assumed he'd still be alive at the end. And it's even worse when swindlers and doomsayers have access to international media like never before.

In reality, the majority of Revelation is about Roman persecution and the downfall of the Roman empire. They couldn't say it outright because Roman officials read peoples' letters, so they had to write cryptic messages. 666 is the number of Nero, which can be proven by the fact that in regions where Nero is spelled differently and adds to 616 instead, copies found there have 616 as the number of the beast.
