Conclusion of WHAT WILL GOD'S KINGDOM DO?

What will God's Kingdom achieve by means of Armageddon?  Think again about what God's will is for the earth.  Jehovah God purposed that the earth be filled with a righteous, perfect human race serving him in Paradise.  What prevents that from happening right now?  First, we are sinful, and we get sick, grow old and die. We learned  in Chapter 5, however, that Jesus  die for us so that  we can live forever. Likely you remember the words recorded in the Gospel of John:  "God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life." -John 3:16.


Another problem is that many people do wicked things. They lie, cheat, and commit immorality.  They do not want to do God's will.  People who do wicked things will be destroyed during God's war of Armageddon.  (Psalm 37:10) Yet another reason why God's will is not being done on earth is that governments do not encourage people to do it.  Many governments have been weak, cruel, or corrupt. (or all of this at the same time) The Bible frankly says:  "Man has dominated man to his injury." -Ecclesiastes 8:9. 

After Armageddon, mankind will be under just one government, God's Kingdom. (Yea!)  That Kingdom will do God's will and bring wonderful blessings.  For example,  it will remove Satan and his demons.  (Revelation 20:1-3)  The power of Jesus'  sacrifice will be applied so that faithful humans will no longer get sick and die.  Instead, under Kingdom rule they will be able to live forever.  (Revelation 22:1-3) The earth will be made into a paradise.   Thus the Kingdom will cause God's will to be done on earth and will sanctify God's name.  What does this mean? It means that eventually under God's Kingdom everyone alive will honor Jehovah's name.
