Hello, okay so have you ever experienced the Christian saying that there is going to be a doomsday, the world is getting more and more corrupt and only when Jesus comes will it be saved?

Well I had a Christian denomination tell me that the Bible says the earth can be perfect in the future and that there will be heaven on earth.

This is so much more promising and positive that I want to believe it's true instead of this earth going to hell until Jesus comes.

Would I be in the minority if I think the earth is getting better instead of worse?

Wouldn't you like to believe this?

The bible teaches that the world will become more corrupt, and that is a sign that 'the end' is near. The basic idea is that there will be a series of events that take place, and eventually God will finally clean the entire earth of all sin and rebellion. And after that time, He brings heaven down to earth, which is where 'the church' will live for eternity. But a lot of bad things has to happen before this, many people will suffer on earth and end up in hell. But humanity will not improve, so to speak. That goes counter to our nature of sin, and the sin in the world.

Yes God's Kingdom will be here on earth but not until after the 1000 year reigh, where Christ and his saints (true believers) rule over the unbelievers, with a rod of iron. At this time all things shall be put under the feet of Christ, bringing all into subjection to him. This is the reason for the 1000 year reigh. When this has ended then God is going to restore the earth as in the beginning before the fall of man. It will be perfect and pure forever. We true and faithful believers and followers of Christ will be in his presense for erternity. Time will be no longer.
Oh what a glorious day that will be.
But until the time of the 1000 year reigh mankind will continue to do wickedly. As in the days of Noah. Nothing has changed and will not change until God brings all wickedness to an end.
It is a say thing, but rejoice for the Lord is at the door. It will soon be over.
As every day passes I become more excited for that coming day.

Don't let it get you down, or fill you full of fear. It must come to pass.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 (KJV)
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

1 John 4:17-18 (KJV)
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

I believe complete heaven on earth comes only after the 1000 year reign.
But I believe sometime during that 1000 year reign, mankind will live peacefully and abundantly.
It's the 7th of "thousand year days", so it should be one of rest, and the 3rd "big generation" of mankind
(4000 to Christ, 2000 to second coming, 1000 to final judgment), so it also would seem to me to have a "resurrection" or "out of the belly" effect to it also.

So, heaven on earth, not for a while.
A great place to live, coming soon, after the craziest tribulation mankind has not imagined.

The world can get worse, but if you keep getting closer to God, life can keep getting better for you.

I believe heaven is a life without worries. A life without worries is a life we have after we repent:

From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matt 4:17 RSV

"thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven" Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven, canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth? Job 38:33

Resurrection are you describing heaven as a place with no worries or that a place with no worries is heaven? Heaven is a location. It's true there are no worries, but an earth with no worries wwould not be heaven.

Abundant life on earth is possible and promised, but we will not find the full expression if Gods kingdom anywhere outside of heaven itself before Jesus returns.

The world must come to destruction - do you know who the Prince of this Earth is?

Satan.

The Earth is essentially a death sentence; a second chance for sinners to repent and return to the kingdom of Heaven. The Devil was cast down to the Earth when he was exposed for his corruption, and is trapped here until him and his followers meet destruction.

Some people don't like the idea of the Earth being destroyed, but the Earth is not our reality - our souls are the truth of our life, and the flesh is more like a prison for our souls. That is why the bible says do not fear those who can only destroy your body, but the One who can destroy both body and soul. The 2nd death is actually the destruction of the soul.

How boring would life be if the Earth was made anew? What is the Earth but a spec of dust in the known universe? We know it's seasons, we've tasted it's food - how dull an eternity on the Earth ha ha!

God has promised the Heavens, which expand far beyond anything of the Earth; and actually many galaxies and worlds exist within the eternal realms of Heaven. Heaven is like the name of the entire reality, a reality that encompasses endless new creations, new taste, new smells, new colors, new discoveries - endlessly. When we get done with one universe, God will just create another one.

Goes on like this forever.

Matter of factly, the heavenly beings look down at us on the Earth pitifully because the Earth is nothing compared to the epic expanses of Heaven. Our fleshy bodies are disgusting and even God talks about how spending we were in Heaven in Proverbs, Isaiah, and several other prophetical books.

We were robed gloriously; with fine jewels the earth never could produce, walking along the fiery stones with grace and beauty only less splendid than God.

Heaven is really the limit when you get there ha ha - and even the disciples longed to go, knowing they were so displaced on the dull and dark Earth.

Even the riches of this world don't even compare; the finest foods and most glorious materials the Earth makes don't even come close to the Heavenly riches.

God's word is that the Earth is to be destroyed, and what be the will of God has always been fulfilled. The earth will meet it's end but life is merely beginning at that point.

Death is nothing more than the separation of the spirit from the body; and how wonderful is it going to be to awake in the glory that is Heaven?

And when the Earth is coming to it's end, there will be no compassion for those who perish, for they will be exposed for whom they truly are - what their souls truly are, and not everyone who says they are a christian or smiles happily has a good spirit burning inside them.

Pray to God you'll be saved - for even the 144,000 do not even taste physical death, and all who were faithful will be raised up beyond the grave.

A very grand spirit told me that there is a lot of dancing and such pleasing music in Heaven lol

It's truly a wonderful place.

But if you want to stay on the Earth, then whatever suits your soul.

God Bless.

Well, the thing is... we humans have a tendency to choose what is bad for us.

Would you leave five kids, lets say 8-12 years old all alone in a house (with food and other stuff needed) for a week?
One can assume that they will sooner or later (most likely sooner,) get themselves intro trouble. And it would be unlikely to turn any better as time progressed.

I think we humans are the same way in our relation to God. Even if our intention is to do what is good and right, we sometimes forget, and on occasion just don't care. So God basically has to put and end to evil (which springs from sin) in order for us to have experience heaven. Hence the new heaven and earth: A fresh start
