WORLD IN BIBLE PROPHECY


CHAPTER 9

GOD’S KINGDOM ESTABLISHED ON EARTH


Marriage of the Lamb

After all the nations are subdued and there is no more opposition from human rulers to the rule of Jesus Christ, God’s kingdom will be established on earth.  The establishment of God’s Kingdom is celebrated with a great feast and marriage of the Lamb.  This is when Jesus Christ symbolically marries His Church, the saints collectively, who had been resurrected to eternal life at the return of Jesus Christ.  

The marriage of Jesus Christ is mentioned in Revelation 19:6-9 (NKJV): “6 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, "Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! 7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready." 8 And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. 9 Then he said to me, "Write: 'Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!'  "And he said to me, "These are the true sayings of God."

Paul the apostle refers to the Church as a chaste virgin espoused to Jesus Christ in 2 Corinthians 11:2: “2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.”

Satan Finally Bound and Put Away

The Bible shows that Satan has deceived the whole world (Revelation 12:9).  The world will not have peace as long as Satan is around to deceive humanity.  So at the beginning of Jesus Christ's rule on earth, Satan is put away.  This is described in Revelation 20:1-3 (NKJV): "Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.  He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he cast him into the bottomless pit [or abyss], and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished..."

These verses indicate that Satan will be in solitary confinement for 1,000 years of the Kingdom of God.  His angels called demons will also be restrained.  They too will no longer be allowed to influence and deceive the nations any more.  This is indicated in II Peter 2:4: "For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell [tartarus - a place of restraint] and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for
judgment;.."  Their most likely place of restraint will be the ruins of the city of Rome in the land of Babylon [modern Italy], as indicated in Revelation 18:1-2: "After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory.  And he cried mightily with a loud voice saying, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a habitation of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird."

What will God's Kingdom Be Like?

After Satan and the demons have been put away, the earth will finally be at peace.  God's kingdom will have been established on earth.  Saints of God, who were called into God's Church throughout man's history and remained faithful to Him till the end of their lives will have been resurrected at the return of Jesus Christ (when the seventh trumpet sounded) as spirit beings and appointed kings and priests [not kings or priests, but kings and
priests; no separation of Church and state any more] over the nations.  They will reign with Jesus Christ over the nations as kings, lords and priests for a thousand years.  Jesus Christ will be the King of these kings and Lord of these lords.

One More Ugly Incident

After Jesus Christ has settled the American, British and Jewish slaves and the other tribes of Israel in the holy land once again and will have been ruling over the nations for anywhere between a decade or so up to about two generations, the Israelites will start becoming prosperous due to God’s blessings.  But their prosperity and living in unwalled, unprotected villages will give perverse thoughts to the survivors of the Russians and Chinese.   And they will hatch a nefarious scheme to take over and loot Israelites in the holy land.  Let Ezekiel the prophet tell the story in chapters 38 and 39 of his book.

Ezekiel 38 (NKJV): “1 Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 2 "Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog [talking primarily about China and eastern Russia], the prince of Rosh [Western Russia], Meshech [Moscow], and Tubal [Tobolsk in Russia], and prophesy against him, 3 and say, 'Thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. 4 I will turn you around, put
hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. 5 Persia [Iranians], Ethiopia [most likely the eastern branch in south, central and east India ], and Libya [most likely the eastern branch in western India] are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; 6 Gomer [Gomer gave rise to the Siamese (Thai), Burmese,
Indonesians, Filipinos, Vietnamese, Laotians and Cambodians] and all its troops; the house of Togarmah [refers to Siberia, Mongolia, eastern Turkey] from the far north and all its troops--many people are with you.

“7 "Prepare yourself and be ready, you and all your companies that are gathered about you; and be a guard for them. 8 After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel [this identifies the fulfillment of this prophecy after Israelites are rescued from their slavery at the hands of the King of the North], which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely. 9 You will ascend, coming like a storm, covering the land like a cloud, you and all your troops and many peoples with you."

“10 'Thus says the Lord God: "On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will make an evil plan: 11 You will say, 'I will go up against a land of unwalled villages; I will go to a peaceful people, who dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates'-- 12 to take plunder and to take booty, to stretch out your hand against the waste places that are again inhabited, and against a people
gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst of the land. 13 Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all their young lions will say to you, 'Have you come to take plunder?  Have you gathered your army to take booty, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great plunder?' " ' 14 "Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, 'Thus says the Lord God: "On that
day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it? 15 Then you will come from your place out of the far north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company and a mighty army. 16 You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes."

“17 Thus says the Lord God: "Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them? 18 "And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel," says the Lord God, "that My fury will show in My face. 19 For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: 'Surely in that day there shall be a great
earthquake in the land of Israel, 20 so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence. The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.' 21 I will call for a sword against Gog throughout all My mountains," says the Lord God. "Every man's sword will be against his brother. 22 And I will bring him to judgment with pestilence and bloodshed; I will rain down on him, on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23 Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations.  Then they shall know that I am the Lord." '

Then God continues in Ezekiel 39 (KJV):

“1 Therefore, you son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say , Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal: 2 And I will turn you back , and leave but the sixth part of you, and will cause you to come up from the north parts, and will bring you upon the mountains of Israel: 3 And I will smite your bow out of your left hand, and will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand. 4 You shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, you, and all your bands, and the people that are with you: I will give you unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured. 5 You shall fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, says the Lord God. 6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD. 7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.

“8 Behold, it is come, and it is done, says the Lord God; this is the day whereof I have spoken. 9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth , and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the hand staves , and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years: 10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, says the Lord GOD.

“11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog [multitude of Gog]. 12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land. 13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, says the Lord God. 14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search. 15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any sees a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog. 16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah [Multitudes].  Thus shall they cleanse the land.

“17 And, you son of man, thus says the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh, and drink blood. 18 You shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan. 19 And you shall eat fat till you be full, and drink blood till you be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you. 20 Thus you shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, says the Lord God. 21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.

“22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward. 23 And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword. 24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them. 25 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name; 26 After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.

“27 When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies ' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations; 28 Then shall they know that I am the Lord their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there. 29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my
spirit upon the house of Israel, says the Lord God.”

God here says that only one sixth of the vast army of many nations will return home alive to carry the tale of their defeat and that the God of Israel in Jerusalem is indeed the true God.  Israelites will not have to do any fighting.  God Himself will destroy 5/6th of the invading army, and Israel will learn the lesson that they will not need to fight battles, because God will fight for them.  All Israelites will finally know that their God is the true Almighty God after God’s Holy Spirit is given to all of them.

Allotment of Land to the Nations

After this incident, the nations will finally acknowledge that the God of Israel is the true Creator God and will finally be willing to listen to Him.  Perhaps at this time, in the Jubilee Year (that is the 50th year) after God’s Kingdom will have been established, when nations are willing to listen to God, a division of countries for all the surviving nations will be made.  Remember, the greatest ever earthquake in the history of mankind will have altered the
surface of the earth.  Mountains and islands will have disappeared.  Much more land will have become available for man’s use.  The earth’s population would also have recovered somewhat.

Just as Noah divided the land between nations soon after the Flood and sent out colonies, perhaps Noah will again be charged with the task of informing all peoples about division of the earth into countries for all nations, and they will be asked to move to their respective allotted lands.  The movement of people though will likely be minimal as most will already be settled in their allotted lands.  But they will be happy to go to colonize new land that would have become available.  This time there will be no rebellion against God’s plan as there was in Noah’s day after the Flood when Cush, Nimrod, Semiramis and Asshur built the Tower of Babel in rebellion against God.  All peoples will go to their respective allotted countries.

Nations will go to their lands with happiness and joy because of the abundance of fertile land, full of natural resources, and no ferocious wild animals.  Nations will no longer be moved from their lands by conquering armies and will live in peace.  No one will make anyone afraid in their land.  They will rebuild the waste places of the cities that were destroyed.  Nations of Israel are promised that they will never again be moved from their lands, and will dwell in peace and abundance, which promise by extension will apply to all nations.  

Amos 9:14-15 says (NKJV): “14 I will bring back the captives of My people Israel; They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them; They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them. 15 I will plant them in their land, and no longer shall they be pulled up from the land I have given them," says the Lord your God.”

Micah 4:4 says: “4 But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken it.”

Jeremiah 33:10-13 prophesied of the joy and happiness that will characterize the land of Israel (NKJV): “10 "Thus says the Lord: 'Again there shall be heard in this place…in the cities of Judah, in the streets of Jerusalem…11 the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride… For I will cause the captives of the land to return as at the first,' says the Lord. 12 "Thus says the Lord of hosts: 'In this place which is desolate, without man and without beast, and in all its cities, there shall again be a dwelling place of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. 13 In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the lowland, in the cities of the South, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah…”

Jeremiah 31:11-13 (NKJV): “11 For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of one stronger than he. 12 Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, streaming to the goodness of the Lord -- for wheat and new wine and oil, for the young of the flock and the herd; their souls shall be like a well-watered garden, and they shall sorrow no more at all. 13 "Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old, together; for I will turn their mourning to joy, will comfort them, and make them rejoice rather than sorrow.”

How God will Solve Humanity’s Problems

1) ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT

Many statesmen have pondered world problems and are virtually unanimous in proclaiming that the only solution lies in one super world government, and that government must come from a ‘strong hand from some place,’ capable of putting down any dictator like Hitler or Stalin, or any nation in its place, and preventing it from waging war.

Sir Winston Churchill once said, “The creation of an authoritative all-powerful world order is the ultimate aim toward which we must strive.  Unless some effective world super government can be brought quickly into action, the proposals for peace and human progress are dark and doubtful.”

Robert Muller, a former Assistant Secretary General of the U.N. said: “We must move as quickly as possible to a one-world government, one-world religion, under a one-world leader.”

Jesus Christ is returning to earth to set up just such a world government.  Isaiah prophesied this in Isaiah 9:6-7 (NKJV): “6 For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder.  And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to
order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”

The ugly incident of the attack by Gog in the land of Magog will have taught the nations to not wage war any more.  The sculpture of a soldier beating his sword into a plowshare outside the United Nations’ headquarters is based on the prophecy about God’s kingdom in Micah 4:1-3 and Isaiah 2:3-4 (NKJV): “Many people shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us
His ways, and we shall walk in His paths [meaning one Law or constitution for all of humanity, the Holy Bible, and one world religion].”  For out of Zion [meaning God’s Church headquartered in Jerusalem] shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He shall judge between the nations, and shall rebuke many peoples; they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn anymore.”

Mountain in prophecy is a symbol for a great nation or empire and government.  So mountain of the Lord refers to God’s kingdom and government.  Zion refers to Jerusalem, the symbol and the future capital of God’s world ruling government.  Zion in prophecy is also a symbol for God’s Church.  

Historians say that more wars have been fought in the history of mankind over the land in and around Jerusalem than any other piece of land.  In God’s kingdom great peace, abundance, happiness and joy, and no more destruction are prophesied for Jerusalem, though there will be one more attack attempted on Jerusalem later at the end of the 1000 years of God’s Kingdom.

Isaiah 65:18-19 says: “18 But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. 19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.”

Isaiah 60:18 says: “18 Violence shall no more be heard in your land, wasting nor destruction within your borders; but you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.”

Zechariah 8:3-5 (NKJV) says: “3 "Thus says the Lord: 'I will return to Zion, and dwell in the midst of Jerusalem.  Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth, The Mountain of the Lord of hosts, The Holy Mountain.' 4 "Thus says the Lord of hosts: 'Old men and old women shall again sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each one with his staff in his hand because of great age. 5 The streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.”

Isaiah 33:20 (NKJV) says: “20 Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts; Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet home, A tabernacle that will not be taken down; Not one of its stakes will ever be removed, Nor will any of its cords be broken.”

So what man hopes for but cannot do for himself, God will do for him.  God will not allow any dictator like Hitler, Stalin, Saddam Hussein or Idi Amin to arise to make war.  Every human being will be perfectly secure in his own property.  No criminals, gangsters or warlords will be allowed to rise.  There will at last be universal peace and the world will look to Jerusalem, the world capital, for guidance, direction and instruction.   Jesus Christ will then set
His hand to reeducate and save or spiritually convert the world.

2) A CHANGE OF HEART

The process of spiritually saving the world begins with spiritual reeducation.  And that cannot be accomplished in a carnal human mind.  Ancient Israel proved that.  So a change in heart will be needed for all of humanity and will begin with the tribes of Israel.  The change of heart begins with learning God’s way of life, repenting of one’s sins and making a commitment to obey God’s laws and pursue righteousness.  The commitment is sealed by being baptized and receiving God’s holy spirit, which will then enable human beings to keep God’s law in the letter and spiritual intent.  Many prophecies indicate what God will do, beginning with Israel.

The last verse of Ezekiel 39:29 quoted earlier stated this: “29 Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, says the Lord GOD.”  Change of heart begins with God giving His holy spirit to Israel first and all living human beings later as they become converted and baptized.

God speaking through Ezekiel further says in Ezekiel 36:26-27: "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit [meaning God’s holy spirit] within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.  I will put My spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them."

Jeremiah 31:33 says: “33 …this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.”

Joel 2:28: “28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh…”  All flesh means all of humanity.

God’s holy spirit given to all of humanity will open man’s mind to understand God’s law and lead to a change of heart to enable man to obey all of God’s commandments.  Our carnal minds are incapable of fully understanding God’s law and obeying it with all of our being.  

God’s holy spirit will produce in each human being the fruits that God’s holy spirit does.  These are described in Galatians 5:22-23: “22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.”

The fruits of the spirit will replace the works of the flesh from the hearts, minds and lives of individuals and nations mentioned in Galatians 19-21: “19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”

This change in the hearts and minds of human beings will usher in the peace and harmony the Bible prophesies.  Even the nature of wild animals will be changed as described by Isaiah 11:6-9 (NKJV): “6 "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. 7 The cow and the bear shall graze; their young ones shall lie down  together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8 The nursing child shall play by the cobra's hole, and the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper's den. 9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.”  

Oh, what a wonderful and peaceful world it will be for all of humanity to enjoy!

3) REEDUCATING THE WORLD

After the ugly attack of Gog in the land of Magog and their allies, the world will finally be willing to learn from the God of Israel, Jesus Christ, and the saints now made immortal ruling with Him.  These saints have been appointed as kings, governors and mayors over the nations with Jesus Christ as the King of these kings and Lord of these lords.  But just as today, God will also use human beings of the tribes of Israel to teach the nations.

The process begins by making an announcement to the nations that they are required to send a delegation to God’s Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem for 8 days to learn from the God of Israel.  And those who won’t comply will be punished.  This is prophesied in Zechariah 14:16-19: “16 And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. 17 And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, on them there will be no rain. 18 If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain; they shall receive the plague with which the Lord strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. 19 This shall be the  punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.”

Initially some may decide not to send a delegation, but when there is no rain in their lands and face starvation and have to rely on charity from other nations, they will comply with Jesus Christ’s requirement to send a delegation annually to the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem.  The rest of the population will keep the Feast of Tabernacles for 8 days in their own lands.  God’s plan of salvation and knowledge of His Law and His ways will
begin to be taught during God’s weekly Sabbaths and seven annual holy days.

The nations will also seek out Israelites who have lived among them and have had experience in their ways to now teach them God’s ways.  And Jews are that people, some of who have been scattered among and lived among virtually all nations of the world.  Then will be fulfilled the prophecy in Zechariah 8:22-23 (NKJV): “22 Yes, many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the
Lord.' 23 "Thus says the Lord of hosts: 'In those days ten men from every language of the nations shall grasp the sleeve of a Jewish man, saying, "Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you."  

Founded by the pagan philosopher Plato, the world’s academic system has always remained pagan.  Its basis is human philosophy.  But in the 17th and 18th centuries, German rationalism, and later in the 19th and 20th centuries, atheism and the theory of evolution were injected into it.  The basis of all these thought processes is to explain life and the material universe by human reasoning, experience or experimentation alone, but inspired by
Satan behind the scenes.   The true creator God, who created everything that exists is left completely out of the picture.  That is how Satan has deceived the whole world.   

In God’s kingdom, the foundation of all knowledge will be revelation from God.  And God’s inspired word, the Holy Bible, is that foundation of  knowledge.  The Holy Bible will also be the constitution of the world according to which the whole world will be governed.  

When Jesus Christ begins His rule, educating and reeducating the world will be one of the most important tasks the Kingdom of God will face.  Today much of humanity is illiterate.  God will first have to restore peoples’ minds to be able to develop basic reading, writing and arithmetic skills.  And virtually all people follow false and deceptive values.  Their entire thinking will need to be reoriented based on understanding the true purpose of
human life.  God’s Law, His plan of salvation for mankind, His way of life and true values will be taught.  God’s truth will replace paganism based on human intellectual ignorance or vanity, or inspiration from Satan and the demons.  

The true knowledge, including knowledge of God’s law will go forth from the Church – and from Jerusalem, the new world capital.  The prophet Micah prophesied in Micah 4:2-3: “…2 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion [a symbol for God’s Church], and the
word of the LORD from Jerusalem.  3 And he [Jesus Christ] shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”  

Perhaps more wars have been fought over religion in the history of man than any other cause.  But in God’s government there will be only one religion throughout the earth.  People today have problems believing in God.  They don’t know which the true religion is.  But in God’s kingdom no proof will be needed.  The Creator of mankind, Jesus Christ Himself will be with men and they will not need any proof that He exists.  

Human beings will also be able to believe in God’s plan of salvation because they will be able to see the former saints of God who will have become eternal beings.  This will give great hope to all human beings.  They will have the sure knowledge and hope that they can themselves become literal eternal sons of God.  Only God’s true way of life will be taught.  Satan and his demons will be removed as rulers of the earth.  So they will no longer be able to deceive human beings into believing in false religions.  There will be one religion for all of humanity.

Humanity will be able to see and be taught by saints made immortal. Isaiah 30:20-21 (NKJV) says: “20 And though the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore, but your eyes shall see your teachers. 21 Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it," whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever you turn to the left.”

As a result of this massive reeducation effort, the world will become full of the knowledge of God’s Law and His ways.  Jeremiah the prophet prophesied this in Jeremiah 31:34: “34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know Me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, says the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”

Isaiah 11:9 also says: “9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.”

4) FROM SCARCITY TO ABUNDANCE

Scarcity or lack of resources is a major cause of warfare among nations as well as fights among individuals.  All people on earth want to enjoy the same standard of living as an average American.  But that will require the resources of a few planets the size of the earth in its current state.  In His Kingdom God will first solve humanity’s so-called overpopulation problem before the beginning of the millennium by making the earth capable of
supporting at least 100 – 120 billion people.  God has a plan for salvation for all human beings who have ever lived.  The estimate of their number is anywhere from 50-60 billion people.  They are all going to be resurrected after 1,000 years of Jesus’ rule on earth as physical human beings.  The earth will be able to support all of them.  This will have become possible because of the surface of the earth being transformed during the greatest
earthquake in the history of mankind as described earlier from Revelation 16:17-21 when Jesus Christ punished all the nations that sent armies against Him to Jerusalem.  

With increase in the cultivatable area that is now under the oceans, availability of plenty of water, right agricultural practices and lifting of God’s original curse on the earth mentioned in Genesis 3:17-19 when Adam and Eve disobeyed God, and His blessings on the crops instead, the earth will be able to support at least 20 times its current population.  Because of great volcanic activity due to earthquakes and the land that is now under the oceans rising, the wealth of the oceans and the minerals brought to the surface due to lava outflows will make much more mineral resources available for man’s use.  That is how God will solve humanity’s overpopulation problem: by turning scarcity of land, water and mineral resources into great abundance of all these things.

Then before humanity’s population begins to increase in the 1000 year reign of Jesus Christ, the land that will not be cultivated for a few centuries will develop a thick layer of fertile rich soil for humanity to later use for growing bumper crops.

The blossoming of deserts is prophesied in Isaiah 35:1-2, 6-7: “And the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose.  It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, even with joy and singing…for waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert.  The parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water.”

Availability of plenty of fresh water is also prophesied in Isaiah 41:18-20 (New International Version - NIV): “18 I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs. 19 I will put in the desert the cedar and the acacia, the myrtle and the olive. I will set pines in the wasteland, the fir and the cypress together, 20 so that people may see and know, may consider and understand, that the hand of the LORD has done this, that the Holy One of Israel has created it.”

Transformation of the earth will lead to abundance of food and other crops to feed and clothe mankind as God had promised ancient Israel.  These promises are mentioned in Leviticus 26:4 and Deuteronomy 28: 11.

Leviticus 26:4-5: “4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.”

Deuteronomy 28:11 (NKJV): “11 And the Lord will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you.”

Because abundant fertile land and plenty of water will be available with suitable climate for growing crops, there will be bountiful harvests all over the earth.  Therefore, scarcity of food will be a thing of the past.  The prophet Amos prophesied in 9:13:"Behold, the days are coming," God says, "when the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows seed; the mountains shall drip with sweet wine, and all the hills 
shall flow with it."  

Can you imagine every person on earth being able to afford to drink quality wine?  That is the quality of abundant food that every human will be able to afford.

Nations and different races will be distributed all over the earth.  Because abundant land, water and mineral resources will be available to all nations, they will not covet each other’s land.  This is indicated in God’s instructions to ancient Israel in Exodus 34:24: “24 For I will cast out the nations before you and enlarge your borders; neither will any man covet your land when you go up to appear before the Lord your God three times in the year.”  This will be fulfilled in God’s Kingdom.  There will be peace and harmony between the nations and races.

5) PERFECT GLOBAL ECONOMIC SYSTEM

God’s kingdom will restore a perfect global economic system for mankind.

Minimal Taxation

Today’s governments demand 40, 50 even 90% in taxes from their citizens.  But God requires human beings to pay Him only 10%.  In God’s kingdom, the entire government, justice, education and religious systems will be financed only by this 10%.  There will be no need for other taxes except for a third tithe to help the poor [widows, orphans, strangers] in the second and sixth years of a seven year cycle.  The reason there will be no need for
other taxes is that the kings and rulers of cities will not need to be paid salaries.  They will be eternal sons of God.  People will be able to enjoy full 90% of what they earn.  And the 10% given to God will also be used in the service of man to pay salaries to teachers, judges and priests engaged in teaching and administering God’s laws and His ways.

Booming Global Economy Based on Free Enterprise

National economies will be based on free enterprise.  No nation will have a communist or a socialist form of economy.  Land will be allotted to families which will remain in the family for future generations.  Agricultural land will be sold and bought based on the number of years to the Jubilee Year, every 50th year, the year of release.  If a family had to sell land because of hardship, every fiftieth year the family will return to its ancestral land free
and clear.

This law is stated in Leviticus 25:8-18 (NKJV): “8 'And you shall count seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years; and the time of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty-nine years. 9 Then you shall cause the trumpet of the Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the Day of Atonement you shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land. 10 And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family. 11 That fiftieth year shall be a Jubilee to you…12 For it is the Jubilee; it shall be holy to you…13 'In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his possession. 14 And if you sell anything to your neighbor or buy from your neighbor's hand, you shall not
oppress one another. 15 According to the number of years after the Jubilee you shall buy from your neighbor, and according to the number of years of crops he shall sell to you. 16 According to the multitude of years you shall increase its price, and according to the fewer number of years you shall diminish its price; for he sells to you according to the number of the years of the crops. 17 Therefore you shall not oppress one another, but you shall
fear your God; for I am the Lord your God.”

Thus God’s law will give a fresh start every 50th year to all families that may have fallen on hard times.  This, coupled with other laws in the Bible such as the third tithe (payment of 10% of income for two years in a 7-year cycle) will provide all help necessary to maintain the poor and the needy.

Defense expenditures constitute a large percentage of most nations’ budgets.  Since war will be banished in God’s kingdom, there will be no need for armies or defense establishments.  These costs now paid for through taxes will no longer be incurred.

With eternal beings ruling, there will be honest government.  No bribes, no perversion of justice, no favoritism.  There will be no need for an elaborate bureaucracy to watch over other government officials.  In addition, a level playing field, fairness and honesty in business and industry will be required and maintained.  All nations will receive a fair price for their produce, resources or industrial production.  No pollution will be allowed.  Such an
economic environment, the availability of abundant agricultural and mineral resources and government stability will spur entrepreneurial and industrial activity, resulting in a booming global economy, leading to universal prosperity.

6) UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE

In most nations’ economies, healthcare costs constitute major government expenditures.  No single expenditure bankrupts more families today than healthcare costs even in a developed country like the USA.  In God’s government, there will be no need for an elaborate healthcare system, and the insurance or medical costs associated with it.  Jesus Christ Himself will take charge of healthcare and will not leave it in the hands of puny human beings.

There is a cause for every effect.  There is a cause for every sickness.  Sickness is the result of violating God’s laws of health.  Once we remove the cause of sickness, the body usually heals itself.  So sickness and disease in God’s Kingdom will be solved in two ways: First, human beings will be educated on the laws of good health.  As a result they will be able to avoid the causes of sickness. This will prevent sickness and disease.

When some become sick despite taking all measures to prevent the causes, God will supernaturally heal them.  God’s method of healing is described in James 5:14: “Is anyone among you sick?  Let him call for the elders of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.  And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up.”

Malachi 4:2 (NKJV) says: “2 But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise With healing in His wings; And you shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves.”

Not only all sickness will be removed, even all deformities will be removed. This is described in Isaiah 35:5-6: “Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb sing.”

No healthcare expenditures will have a tremendous positive impact on personal incomes and personal and national productivity.

7) ONE WORLD LANGUAGE

Peace and prosperity among nations in God’s kingdom through cooperation will also be facilitated by ONE COMMON LANGUAGE all over the earth.  Today all languages are corrupt.  They are literally filled with terms that originated in paganism and superstition, euphemisms for blasphemous words, phrases that take God’s name in vain, expressions peculiar to the particular language, misnomers, exceptions to rules, and filthy words inspired by Satan and his demons.  But God says in Zephaniah 3:9 “For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may call upon the name of the Eternal, to serve Him with one consent.”  

The world had one language at one time and humans could communicate with one another easily.  As a result evils multiplied.  That is why God confused man’s language at the Tower of Babel in order to slow the spread of evils between peoples and nations.  At that time Cush, Nimrod, Semiramis and Asshur were attempting to impose their Satan inspired paganism on the entire world by force.  But God divided humanity along racial lines by giving each race a different language and forced it to spread out around the world and colonize different areas of the earth.  It prevented Cush, Nimrod, Semiramis and Asshur from realizing their dream of ruling all of humanity.   

When God restores one pure language to mankind, right education, music, literature and scientific discoveries will be more easily shared between nations and peoples.  The result will be much faster progress for mankind in all areas.  That is the kind of world God’s kingdom will usher in for all of humanity to enjoy for a millennium, or one thousand
years.
