God created our planet and Adam and Eve to last forever. Lucifer’s rebellion in heaven and Adam and Eve’s sin caused God to curse both man and creation. Man dies and the earth begins to decay. God tells man what it will take to get back to the original creation. Man rejects God’s ways and continues to rebel and be disobedient to God and His Commandments. God, through man, writes the Bible and tells what He expects, tells what will happen if we reject Him and what the results will be. For those who follow His ways and accepts His Son, He promises a life that had been originally planned for Adam and Eve and the planet.

In the last days, the earth’s decay increases rapidly. As the earth groans, man becomes more inhumane and immorality becomes popular. There will be wars and rumors of war, earthquakes, pestilence and climate change. There will be no time ever like it.

Matthew 24:21–25 – “In those days there will be very much trouble and pain and sorrow. It has never been this bad from the beginning of the world and never will be again. If the time had not been made short, no life would have been saved. Because of God’s people, the time will be made short. “If anyone says to you, ‘See! Here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it. People who say they are Christ and false preachers will come. They will do special things for people to see. They will do great things, so that if it can be done, God’s people will be fooled to believe something wrong. Listen! I have told you before it comes.”

Can you imagine things getting worse? Are you prepared for the trouble, pain and sorrow that are coming? Have you ever thought that things will be so bad that none would survive without the return of Jesus Christ? The world will go though the war of Armageddon, a war to end all.

When this happens Jews will realize that Jesus is the Messiah. They will see Him standing on the Mount of Olives. Zechariah 12:9–11 – “On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem. ‘And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son. On that day the weeping in Jerusalem will be great, like the weeping of Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.”

Not only will the Battle of Armageddon prove the Old Testament prophecies but also the New Testament. Those who doubted the authenticity of Scripture must accept the truth of the gospels. The entire nation of Israel will go into mourning and accepts Christ’s leadership. They are blessed and become prosperous.
Do you think world politics will improve? Will America in 2016 elect a president who reads, studies and believes the Bible? Is there any chance that peace in the world and morality will improve in our time? If not, then prepare for what is to come. What may we expect? It all depends on whether you are a Christian or not. The hope for a Christian is tremendous.

Matthew 19:28 & 29 – “Jesus replied, “I assure you that when the world is made new and the Son of Man sits upon his glorious throne, you who have been my followers will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or property, for my sake, will receive a hundred times as much in return and will inherit eternal life.”

When Christ comes a second time the earth will be restored to its original condition. If God can create our planet can He not rehab? This time it will be inhabited by those who have been chosen because of their personal relationship to God and Christ. Christ will reign for 1000 years before God gives us a new heaven and a new earth to live on forever and ever. We are also promised a hundred times as much. What is more important to you: the here and now or the future with God and Christ? There offer is greater than what Satan offers.

Isaiah 11:6–9 – “The wolf will live with the lamb. The leopard will lie down with the baby goat. The calf and the young lion and the young fat animal will lie down together. And a little boy will lead them. The cow and the bear will eat side by side. And their young will lie down together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra. And another child will put his hand in the hole of a snake whose bite is poison. They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain. For the earth will be as full of much learning from the Lord as the seas are full of water.”

We will live on a completely different earth. There will be complete peace and love for each other. We will follow the rules that God provided for Adam and Eve, Moses and the Israelites. We will be in a new Garden of Eden given a second chance with Christ in our midst. Instead of living by faith we will know and see the actual. All questions will be answered.

Revelation 11:15 – “Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices shouting in heaven: “The world has now become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever.”

Revelation 20:4b – “They had not worshiped the beast or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They all came to life again, and they reigned with Christ for a thousand years.”

Micah 4:3–4 – “The Lord will mediate between peoples and will settle disputes between strong nations far away. They will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer fight against nation, nor train for war anymore. Everyone will live in peace and prosperity, enjoying their own grapevines and fig trees, for there will be nothing to fear. The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has made this promise!”

I don’t know about you, but it seems eternity has much more to offer than the here and now. I am willing to live, in accordance to Scripture and develop a personal relationship with Christ, believing what God says will happen in the future. For more than 50 years, living for Christ has been a real plus. The world hasn’t offered anything better.
