One of the most effective methods of describing the millennial reign of Jesus Christ is to produce a lists of elements which will not be present.  Most of the inventions of mankind are things designed to produce or do things that God would have freely provided. As you peruse the lists, imagine the amount of land, time and money that are freed up.

Clearly some of what we say here will be under the heading of speculation as we do not have a “thus saith the Lord” for everything we have in these lists, but most are here because of Spirit-driven logic and biblical principles.  The focus of some of the lists are elements unique to the US but clearly the changes will be worldwide.

Overview of the Millennial Period

Agrarian culture----equal distribution of land for farming

Thomas Jefferson, the patron of American agrarianism, wrote in his Notes on Virginia (1785), "Those who labor in the earth are the chosen people of God.

Farming has a spiritual dimension that generates many virtues, among them self-reliance, moral integrity, and honor, because direct contact with nature leads to a meaningful relationship with God.

 

Economy:  One based on mutual giving rather than profit.  World trade limited or non-existent.
 

Education: Massively different and most direct from God through spirit beings.
 

Craftsman culture:  Everything made by hand and built to last indefinitely.
 

Goal of world: to prepare for 2nd Resurrection.
 

Everyone in Salvation Process
---at spiritual maturity—turn to spirit
---those who fall away—lake of fire immediately.
 

Water, air, earth and food pure and pollution free
 

Everything provided by God including energy, resources and transportation.
 

All land reclaimed for cultivation.

All people healed.

Sabbath, Holy Days, including Feast of Tabernacles kept by everyone in the world.
