Will the whole earth become like the Garden of Eden in the Kingdom?
Yes, the whole earth will be restored to an Eden-like condition in the Kingdom. After Satan is defeated and the curse is lifted, the planet undergoes a renovation, not merely a small area, and the entire planet reverts to a Garden of Eden situation before the thousand-year reign begins.
Les explains that the judgments and cataclysmic events of the tribulation serve to pay off Satan’s mortgage, pictured in Revelation chapter 5 when the scroll, really a mortgage, had its seals peeled off. Once Satan is defeated and the curse is lifted from the planet, God performs a renovation project in short order to make it ready for the Kingdom. When Christ returns, He sets up His Kingdom on earth, destroys the remaining armies and rebels, and the earth is brought back to Eden’s condition. Les emphasizes that this restoration is not confined to one small area; the whole planet will revert to a Garden of Eden situation. Then the thousand years begin, since Revelation attaches a thousand-year time frame to the Kingdom, even though the Old Testament speaks of it as forever and eternal.
