Psalm 37:9-11
For evildoers themselves will be cut off,
But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth.
And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more;
And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be.
But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth,
And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.

Aussiegirl, thank you for your comments. When the kingdom of the heaven rule over the entire earth we will not be seperated from God but benefit from having Jesus reigning as King over the earth. What a delightful prospect! Being on the earth with the righteous will not seperate us from God as it was God's orginal purpose that mankind inherit the earth, Matthew 5:5 and God did not create the earth for nothing or for the wicked to reside in(Isaiah 45:18)
The earth will not be destroyed as in Psalm 104:5 and Psalm 119:90 says the earth remain forever.
Jesus will be the King and the heavenly kingdom with rule over mankind. Does that sound at all like mankind on earth being cut off from God, you think?
Isaiah 65:21-22 also says people will build houses and build vineyards and their work be full. The efforts of righteous mankind will be actually blessed by God.
Imagine the possibilities and achievements that you could reach with living forever on earth with endless happy lifetime!

Isn't that the same hope God gave to Adam and Eve?
(Genesis 1:28) God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill THE EARTH and subdue it [caps added]
(Genesis 2:17) You must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die [so never eating from that tree means never dying]
Other Scriptures make clear reference to this earthly hope.
(Proverbs 2:21) 'upright will reside in the earth'
(Isaiah 45:18) 'God formed the earth to be inhabited'
(Matthew 5:5) 'the mild will inherit the earth'
(Revelation 21:3) The tent of God is with mankind

Yes, of course and Jesus will be the ruler. And the best thing is we inherit the kingdom not by deeds but by faith and keeping the word of God in our daily routine, obeying his commandments and knowing Jesus is the Son of God 1 John 5:1,2 in the Holy Bible

So why is everyone sitting around waiting for some miracle? Would God object if we all worked together for peace?
The Jewish messiah will be a great human leader who will help us to bring peace on earth. Perhaps it's George W. We will know him when there is peace on earth.
"...they shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war anymore." (Micah 4:3)

Yes, I'm looking forward to the time when all of these people who spread lies about Jehovah and his people are done away with. Soon their ring leader Satan will be done away with. What a beautiful hope, too bad many people are too closed-minded to hear about it. But no matter what people say about us Jehovah's words will not come back unsuccessfully so we know that whatever he says is going to happen surely will believe it or not !

It's sad reading the comments you've received.We know many won't accept the truth before the end,but its still sad to see how many are blinded.
This is a great scripture.We use it when phone witnessing.

I agree that rudeness in this category is beyond a joke.
I must say though, that your description of inheriting paradise sounds nice, but where will God be?
I envision spending time with Him eternally would be my quest. Not separated from Him.
May I have your thoughts on my comment please?

Shut Up! For every person who says their religion is the truth, there is another who believes just as ferverently as you, that theirs is the truth. Have you ever considered what happens if they're right?

So you're saying the human race will be annilhated then?
In all my life, I have never met or heard of even one human who could be considered "righteous" by biblical standards. Not even me . . . especially not me.
