Isaiah65:
20 “No more will there come to be a suckling a few days old from that place,+ neither an old man that does not fulfill his days;+ for one will die as a mere boy, although a hundred years of age; and as for the sinner, although a hundred years of age he will have evil called down upon him.+ 21 And they will certainly build houses and have occupancy;+ and they will certainly plant vineyards and eat [their] fruitage.+ 22 They will not build and someone else have occupancy; they will not plant and someone else do the eating. For like the days of a tree will the days of my people be;+ and the work of their own hands my chosen ones will use to the full.+ 23 They will not toil for nothing,+ nor will they bring to birth for disturbance;+ because they are the offspring made up of the blessed ones of Jehovah,+ and their descendants with them.+ 24 And it will actually occur that before they call out I myself shall answer;+ while they are yet speaking, I

I think there will be a wave of Jehovah's power that will clean the Earth at the molecular level, which will remove every vestige of the old world... except the bodies of those who take the MOTB. They will remain as a reminder/warning of what the old world was. I'm prepared to get my hands dirty cleaning in case I'm wrong.
Will we get tools like axes, saws, hammers... and ways to make building materials, or will we make them? We won't need screens on our windows, refrigerators, heating & A/C, electric wiring, plumbing... but we will need stoves to cook all the delicious dishes we'll be enjoying. The soil will be rich and soft, which will make planting vineyards, orchards, bushes and gardens easy.

Revelation22:1-21
22 And he showed me a river of water of life,+ clear as crystal, flowing out from the throne of God and of the Lamb+ 2 down the middle of its broad way. And on this side of the river and on that side [there were] trees*+ of life producing twelve crops of fruit, yielding their fruits each month.+ And the leaves of the trees [were] for the curing of the nations.+3 And no more will there be any curse.+ But the throne of God+ and of the Lamb+ will be in [the city],* and his slaves will render him sacred service;*+
10 He also tells me: “Do not seal up* the words of the prophecy of this scroll, for the appointed time is near.+ 11 He that is doing unrighteousness, let him do unrighteousness still;+ and let the filthy one be made filthy still;+ but let the righteous+ one do righteousness still, and let the holy one be made holy still.+12 “‘Look! I am coming quickly,+ and the reward+ I give is with me, to render to each one as his work is.+ 13 I am the Alʹpha and the O·meʹga,*+ the first and the last,+ the beginning and the end.
My thoughts as well.
Yesss sounds wonderful.

Zech14:20-21...And the cooking pots in the house of Jehovah will be like the bowls before the altar... Talking of those days "And every cooking pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy and will belong to Jehovah of armies, and all those who are sacrificing will come in and use some of them for boiling!"

Great scripture Mick!
Imagine planting and eating from our own vineyards and olive trees. No more foods laced with pesticides or genetically modified garbage to pollute these wonderful bodies Jehovah has given us.
Remember when Moses sent spies into the land, a land Jehovah personally tended”?
It took two men to carry a cluster of grapes back to Moses. I’m sure the quality of those grapes would put anything organically grown under the best conditions today to shame.
For now however, Jehovah does for us what we can’t do for ourselves. I fancy the wild notion that perhaps Jehovah blesses the food we pray over at least to the extent that it doesn’t kill us quite as fast as it otherwise would. Perhaps a bit less poison in the pot as the following account relates.
“One of the men went out into the field to get some herbs; he came across a wild vine and picked gourds from it, filling his gunnysack. He brought them back, sliced them up, and put them in the stew, even though no one knew what kind of plant it was. The stew was then served up for the men to eat. They started to eat, and then exclaimed, “Death in the pot, O man of God! Death in the pot!” Nobody could eat it. Elisha ordered, “Get me some meal.” Then he sprinkled it into the stew pot. “Now serve it up to the men,” he said. They ate it, and it was just fine—nothing wrong with that stew! 2 Kings 4:39-41

Just some food for thought????
Only a few weeks after God's people were led out of slavery from Egypt to the promised land, they began to complain about their current lot in life saying....
“If only we had died by Jehovah’s hand in the land of Egypt while we were sitting by the pots of meat, while we were eating bread to satisfaction, because you have brought us out into this wilderness to put this whole congregation to death by famine.”—Exodus 16:1-3
In years past, we have discussed among ourselves the possibility of that same sprit rearing its ugly head after Armageddon if conditions are not quite like we have envisioned them to be at the outset. Something to think about.

However, there will be one influencer missing in paradise and that of course will be Satan. No doubt he was one of the factors in exacerbating the complaining attitude at that time, Without his influence no doubt any feelings of dissatisfaction will quickly dissipate as Jehovah provides all that is needed for us to be cared for. He will provide superabundantly as Eph 3:20 indicates.Just some food for thought????
