The Perfect World everyone wishes for is coming.
The ENVIRONMENT is amazing: Pure fresh air, sparkling clear water, plentifully organic food with no chemicals, no pesticides, no poisons. The soil is so fertile and pure that everything grows beautifully, fragrantly lush.
SOCIETY is also amazing. Jesus Christ, Himself is King. Everyone knows that. He rules with a rod of iron. No wars, no terrorists, no anarchy, no riots, no crime, no rebellion. Just peace, prosperity, and universal justice. There are no homeless, no refugees, no poverty, and no prejudice. All of the leaders are glorified perfected saints who exhibit perfect patience, love, compassion, and fidelity.
The HEALTH Care system is also amazingly non-existent because there are NO diseases, no malformed bodies, no blindness, no deafness, no birth defects. Everyone is healthy and seems to live indefinitely.
This is ALMOST HEAVEN as you imagine the most peaceful, pure, prosperous, healthy, and beautiful world of flourishing people, plants, animals, weather, and life.
That’s the KINGDOM, that’s the THOUSAND YEAR REIGN of CHRIST, that’s the MILLENNIUM promised to Israel, by Jesus and sent by God.
The THOUSAND YEAR KINGDOM is what Isaiah describes all the way through his 66 chapters, and that is what John describes in the Book of Revelation, using words and ideas from nearly 800 passages touching almost every other book of the Bible.
