Restoration to the original or primordial condition
In theology, apocatastasis (/æpoʊkəˈtæstəsɪs/; occasionally spelled apokatastasis) is the restoration of creation to a condition of perfection.[1][2] In Christianity, it is a form of Christian universalism that includes the ultimate salvation of everyone—including the damned in Hell and the Devil.[3][4][5] The New Testament (Acts 3:21) refers to the "apocatastasis of all things", although this passage is not usually understood to teach universal salvation.[6] The Second Council of Nicaea condemned as heresy any teaching, including apocatastasis, that would deny eternal punishment for unforgiven sins (at definition 18) and, for the same reason, also condemned Origen, Evagrius Ponticus, and Didymus the Blind as heretics.[7]

^Timmerman, Christiane (2007), Faith-based Radicalism: Christianity, Islam and Judaism, p. 59, The usual view taken of Peter's use of the apokatastasis of "all things" is that it refers to the restoration of the Kingdom of Israel and/or the Garden of Eden and not "all things that ever existed."
