PERFECTION AT LAST!

Throughout the Millennium, a wonderful miracle will be taking place.  For mankind, it will be perhaps the most thrilling aspect of Christ's Thousand Year Reign.  Jehovah will direct his Son to apply the benefits of the ransom sacrifice to each and every faithful  and obedient man and woman.  By that means, all sin will be removed and mankind will be raised to perfection. -1 John 2:2; Revelation 21:1-4.

Perfection! What will it mean? it will mean a return to life the way Adam and Eve enjoyed it before they sinned against Jehovah God.  Physically, mentally, emotionally, morally, spiritually -in every way imaginable-perfect humans will fully meet God's standards.  But will all people then be identical?  Far from it! Jehovah's creation-trees, flowers, animals - all teach us that he loves variety.  Perfect humans will have different personalities and talents.  Each one will enjoy life as God meant it to be.  Revelation 20:5 says: "The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended." Like the great crowd of Armageddon  survivors,the resurrected ones will become fully alive when they reach sinless perfection.

Perfect humans will face one final test. At the end of the Millennium, Satan and his demons will be released from the abyss for a short time and will be permitted to make a final effort to turn people away from Jehovah. Some will put wrong desires above love of God,k but this rebellion will be cut short. Jehovah will execute these selfish ones along with Satan and all his demons.  All wrongdoers will then be gone forever. -Revelation 20:7-10.
