Is It Really Possible To Live Forever On Earth?
What did Jesus mean when he said: Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth? Matt.5:5. Is God going to fix the earth so that people can really live on it? Please compare Psalms 37:11,22,29. Proverbs 2:21. Isaiah 45:18. Ecclesiastes 1:4. Revelation 14:6.
Just a little something to think about. If you like this question, would you please give me a star?

Yes it is! Why not? The Bible itself gives us this heartwarming assurance and that’s what gives hope for the future.
The original home of the first humans was "a paradise of pleasure." (Genesis 2:8, Douay Version) They were "to cultivate it and to take care of it." (Genesis 2:15) Additionally, their role on earth included this very human administrative assignment: "Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it." (Genesis 1:28) As their offspring increased, they would have the task of extending the boundaries of this beautiful garden, transforming the whole earth into a paradise. How long was it to last? The Bible consistently notes that the earth will remain "to time indefinite, or forever." (Psalm 104:5; Ecclesiastes 1:4) So the Paradise earth was meant to serve permanently as a delightful home for perfect humans, who would live there forever.-Isaiah 45:11, 12, 18.
Though the rebellion in Eden temporarily interrupted the fulfillment of God’s purpose, it has not changed that purpose. God has introduced the means for stopping the damage and restoring Paradise. The mechanism for doing this is the Kingdom of God, the heavenly government that Jesus made such a prominent part of his message to mankind. (Matthew 6:10, 33) And we can be certain that the original purpose of God will be accomplished. The all-powerful Creator behind it assures us: "So my word that goes forth from my mouth will prove to be. It will not return to me without results, but it will certainly do that in which I have delighted, and it will have certain success in that for which I have sent it."-Isaiah 55:11.
"Religion is the idol of the mob; it adores everything it does not understand."

idk, the cool thing when you have faith is that you don’t have to have all the answers. It’s so frustrating when you have to find an explanation for everything.
Yes. Jesus sacrificed his life so that mankind could have a hope outside of being born and eventually dying.
For in John 3:16 it says
"For God loved the world so much that he gave his only begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
Edit: There is an article from the Nov. 15th 2003 WatchTower magazine entitled You Can Believe In A Paradise Earth? that discusses this very issue and cites scriptures such as Isaiah 45:18 and others in Revelation and 1 Corinthians.
