What Does God's Kingdom Accomplish?

 The Bible's answer

God's Kingdom will replace all human governments and rule all over the earth. (Daniel 2:44; Revelation 16:14)  Once that happens, God's Kingdom will . . .

* Remove the wicked, whose selfishness harms us all.  "As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth." - PROVERBS 2:22.

* End all wars.  [God] is making wars to cease to the extremity of the earth." - PSALM 46:9.

* Bring prosperity and security to the earth.  "Everyone will live in peace among their own vineyards and fig trees, and no one will make them afraid." - MICAH 4:4, Good News Translations

* Make the earth into a paradise.  "Thirsty deserts will be glad; barren lands will celebrate and blossom with flowers." - ISAIAH 35:1, Contemporary English Version.

 

* Provide everyone with meaningful, enjoyable work. "The work of their own hands [God's]chosen ones will use to the full.  They will not toil for nothing." - ISAIAH 65:21-23.

* Eliminate disease. "No resident will say: 'I am sick." - ISAIAH 33:24.

* Set us free from the aging process.  "Let his flesh become fresher than in youth; let him return to the days of his younger vigor." - JOB 33:25.

* Bring the dead back to life.  "All those in the memorial tombs will hear [Jesus'] voice and come out." - JOHN 5:28, 29.
