After Armageddon, a Paradise Earth; Conclusion

 After Armageddon, in the paradise earth, a grand miracle by God will change all of that, for the Bible/God's promise is: "No resident will say "I am sick." (Isaiah 33:24) When Jesus was on the earth he proved his power to heal all kinds of sicknesses and disease, which result because of the sin we inherited from Adam. (Mark 2:1-12; Matthew 15:30, 31) Aging will also be stopped under Kingdom rule. The old will even grow young again. Yes, 'a man's flesh will become fresher than in his youth.' (Job 33:25) What a thrill it will be then to wake up each morning and realize that you are in better health than you were the day before!

Surely no one living in youthful, perfect health in the paradise earth will ever want to die. And nobody will need to die!  Their receiving the benefits of the ransom sacrifice will mean at last enjoying God's grand gift  of "everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23) As the Bible says, Christ "must rule as king until God has put all his enemies under his feet. As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing." - 1 CORINTHIANS 15:25, 26; ISAIAH 25:8

Even persons now dead will enjoy the paradise earth. They will return to life!  So, at that time, instead of  announcements of deaths, there will be joyful reports  about these who have been resurrected. How wonderful to welcome back from the grave dead fathers, mothers, children, and other loved ones! No funeral parlors, graveyards, or tombstones will remain to spoil the beauty of the paradise earth.

Who will govern or direct activities on the paradise earth? All laws and instructions will come from the "new heavens above.  Bot on earth there will be faithful men appointed to see that these laws and instructions are carried out. Because these men represent the heavenly kingdom in a special way, the Bible calls them "princes." (Isaiah 32:1, 2; Psalm 45:16) Even in the Christian congregation today men are appointed by God's holy spirit to care for and direct his activities.  (Acts 20:28) After Armageddon we can be confident that Christ will see to it that the right men are appointed to represent the Kingdom government, for then he will be taking a direct hand in earth's affairs. How can you show that you are eagerly awaiting God's "new heavens" and a "new earth"? By doing everything you can to meet the requirements for living in that righteous new system. - 2 PETER 3:14.
