How Will the World be Different When Christ Returns? (Part 2)

The world’s history is one of misrule, injustice, instability, disease, war, suffering, untold misery for countless numbers of people. But it didn’t have to be this way. And it won’t be this way in the future, after the return of Jesus Christ. He is coming to rule the earth in righteousness and justice. His government will be different from that of any other on earth since the time of Adam and Eve.

How Will the World Be Different When Christ Returns? (Part 2)

The Bible assures us that Jesus Christ will one day return to earth and restore “all things” as has been prophesied by God’s prophets “since the world began” (Acts 3:21). He will establish at that time a literal world ruling kingdom, that shall never end (Revelation 11:15).

Now let’s continue with a discussion of some other ways in which the world will be different, and far better, than today’s world after Jesus Christ returns to establish his kingdom. Continue reading
