World Conditions

We have established Jesus Christ will indeed reign from Jerusalem. But, what will the world conditions look like
during this time? The Bible states that the conditions during the Millennial Reign of Christ will be much the same
as they were before the flood. After the tribulation period, the world will be in a terrible state. The world's
condition will have vegetation burned up and all of the sea life destroyed. It looks like the Seventh Bowl destroys
the earth in its current form to have it renewed for His reign.

Revelation 16:18-20 “And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and
there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth, so
great an earthquake was it, and so mighty.

19 The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was
remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of His fierce wrath.
20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.”
181

It states that there will be a great earthquake and every island and mountain will be removed from the earth. Dr.
Luke in Acts knew this earth would be restored to its pre-flood conditions. Likewise, Paul understood “that the
creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption” from Romans 8:21. This would occur after Christ returns
to this very earth and was predicted by the Prophets Ezekiel, Zechariah and Isaiah.

Acts 3:20-21 “….and that He may send Jesus, the Christ appointed for you,

21 whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by
182
the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time.”

Trees for Food:

By the river on its bank, on one side and on the
other, will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their
leaves will not wither and their fruit will not fail.

Waters Flowing:

They will bear every month because their water
flows from the sanctuary, and their fruit will be
for food and their leaves for healing.

Ezekiel 47:12
