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

 

The Bible has much to say about that final war between God's Kingdom and the governments of this world.  For example, it teaches that as the end approaches, wicked spirits will spread lies to deceive  "the kings of the entire inhabited earth."  For what purpose? "To gather them [the kings] together "to the placed that is called Hebrew Armageddon." (Revelation 16:14, 16) Because of what is said in those verse verses, the final conflict between human governments and God's Kingdom is called the war of Armageddon. 

What will God's Kingdom achieve b means of the war of Armageddon?  Think again about what God's will  is for the earth. Jehovah 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 and die. We learned in Chapter 5, however, that Jesus died for us so that we can live forever.  Likely, you remember the words recorded in the Gospel of John: "God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith  in him might no perish/be destroyed but have everlasting life." - JOHN 3:16.

Note: Also remember that the ones who agree to having God in their lives as was told in the Bible and in blogs, that we will have new bodies to live in too.  That is a real plus for me and I am sure for others who are worse off in health than I am. 

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.  (Read Psalm 37:10) Yet, another reason why God's will is not being done on earth is that governments do not encouraged people to do it. Many governments have been weak, cruel, greedy, deceitful, dishonest, corrupt, immoral, etc. The Bible frankly says:  Man has dominated man to his injury/harm." - ECCLESIASTES  8:9. 

After Armageddon, mankind will be under just one government, God's Kingdom. 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.  (Read 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 that mean?  It means that eventually under God's Kingdom everyone alive will honor Jehovah's name.

Note: Imagine the big surprise on people's face who think they have God in their life and that they think they have been worshipping him, but only the traditions, not the true God;  when they are asked if they want to do God's will and they are told they haven't been.  Do you think they will argue the fact with God-the true God Jehovah. That is his name.
