What Is God's Kingdom? - Conclusion of WHAT WILL GOD'S KINGDOM DO?

Why do we need God's Kingdom?  There are at least three reasons.  First, we are sinners, so we get sick and die.  But the Bible says that under God's Kingdom, we will live forever.  In fact,  John 3:16 says: God loved the world so much that gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life." 

A second reason why we need God's Kingdom, is that we are surrounded by wicked people.  Many lie and cheat and are immoral. We can't do anything to remove them, but God will.  People who keep doing wicked things will be destroyed during Armageddon.  (Read Psalm 37:10.)   A third reason why we need God's Kingdom is that human governments have been weak, cruel, or corrupt (or all the above) They are not interested in helping people to obey God.  The Bible says that "man has dominated man to his injury." - ECCLESIASTES 8:9. 

After Armageddon, God's Kingdom will make sure that God's will is done on earth.  For example, it will remove Satan and his demons.  (Revelations 20:1-3) Eventually, nobody will get sick or die.  Because of the ransom, all faithful humans will be able to live forever in Paradise.  (Revelation 22:1-3)  The Kingdom will sanctify God's name.  What does that mean?  It means that when God's government rules the earth, all humans will honor Jehovah's name.
