The earth will not see itself getting better — until Jesus returns, destroys His enemies at Armegeddon, and THEN establishes His Millennial Rule on earth. Jesus Himself said, “For the kingdom of God is among you [because of My presence].” (Luke 17:20-21)
Born of God
To be saved, you must die to yourself, and then be reborn – like a grain of wheat dies to then be born again to new life. Jesus said this clearly in John 3: “You must be born again.”
