Surely it does.
Most people probably think so.
Today s realities are war, crime, hunger, sickness, aging to mention just a few. Yet there is reason for hope. These new heavens and new earth, according to the Bible, are not a new material heavens or new literal earth. The physical earth and heavens were made perfect, and the Bible shows they will remain forever. The new earth will be a righteous society of people living on earth, and the new heavens will be a perfect heavenly kingdom, or government, that will rule over this earthly society of people.
