Many Bible scholars maintain that under Christ’s Kingdom, earth will become a literal paradise:“The whole earth under the Messiah must then ultimately become . . . what it . . . would have been if Adam had never sinned.” - Theologian Joseph A. Seiss
In the commentary The New Testament for English Readers, Henry Alford wrote: “That kingdom of God . . . shall work onwards till it shall become actually a kingdom over this earth, and its subjects shall inherit the earth . . . , finally in its renewed and blessed state for ever.”—Italics his.
Isaac Newton also wrote: “The earth shall continue to be inhabited by mortals [humans] after the day of judgment and that not only for 1000 years, but even for ever.”
