1. The
faithful of all ages will inherit
the land that was originally promised to Abraham. Planet Earth will be
totally restored to Paradise. There will
be no famine, no pollution, no harsh weather, no natural disasters, and no deserts.
The entire creation will be changed to facilitate the worship of God. In
fact, a jewel filled, custom designed city made by God Himself, New
Jerusalem, will come down out of heaven and be established over the Old
Jerusalem. This new city
will be made of all sorts of precious stones and gold. You may have heard
of the “pearly gates;” they are a feature of this massive and beautiful New
Jerusalem.
2. The
saints will enjoy resurrected bodies
for eternity. This means they will never again be afflicted with broken
bones, deterioration, bad eyesight, bruises, scrapes, disabilities, etc.
Those who are lame today will in that day leap like deer, and those who are
blind today will see with perfect clarity in the Kingdom. The bodies will
be immortal; so, no matter what happens, death is not a concern.
3. Rewards will be given to the saints
for the deeds they have done in this life. Those who endured persecution or
were martyred will be given rewards for their faithful service to the Ruler
of heaven and earth.
4. There
will be peace—no more war,
violence, anger, bullying, or anxiety. In fact, even the animals will be at
peace with each other and mankind. That means that you would be able to
have a lion as a pet. The carnivorous animals will be changed to herbivores
and will no longer be afraid of humans.
5. Justice will be pervasive in the
Kingdom. The poor, orphans, downtrodden, and less fortunate will get their
just due. The arrogant, wicked, and rebellious will be destroyed so that
there will never again be someone to take advantage or harm the people of
God.
6. All the
people in the final Kingdom
of God will be holy. They will no longer be
tempted to sin. The struggle will have been won, and they will be empowered
to live righteously every moment of every day forever. Never again will the
saints need to repent, feel guilt, or experience shame towards God because
of sins committed.
7. The
citizens of the Paradise of God will be filled with unimaginable joy. Singing, dancing, and
celebration will abound. Furthermore, nothing will be in existence to take
away joy—no more pain, suffering, or weeping. The only tears that will be
shed will be because of happiness.
8. You will
be able to have fellowship with
the saints. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel,
Daniel, Peter, Paul, and John will make up your dinner party along with
anyone else who has entered the Kingdom. Loved ones will be reunited and
spend as much quality time as they desire. What's more, Jesus himself will
be present and available for conversation and companionship. Since you will
have infinite time, you can spend however much time you like with each
person who is living in the Kingdom
of God.
9. We will
get our knowledge of God
directly from the Source. No longer will there be misconceptions about His
nature, plan, and intentions. God Himself, Yahweh, the Father of all, will
teach us everything we need to know. We will know Him as well as He knows
us today.
10. The
Father will be dwelling on the earth; we will be living with Him forever. The Bible teaches that He will light
up New Jerusalem so that even the sun will dim in comparison to His glory.
We will be able to speak to Him face to face and enjoy His love directly.
We will see the Holy One and experience Him firsthand.
This Kingdom, this Paradise,
this Utopia, is on its way. Its arrival is imminent. God Himself has
promised it and will accomplish it in His time. Why hasn’t Jesus come back
yet? What is taking so long? The Bible teaches that God is very patient
because He wants everyone (including you) to have a chance to accept the
message before it is too late.
