Many people are concerned about the damage that they believe humans are doing to the earth and the life it supports especially the climate. According to some environmental experts, human actions are threatening animal species with extinction and damaging the biodiversity of the planet as never before. Will humans be allow to continue to bring ruin to this earth? Or will they live in harmony with nature?
The Bible gives us assurance that the future of earth is secure. It explains why human efforts are not enough to save the earth, and it describes the real change that must be made. Jehovah a God created the earth, and he assigned humans the responsibility of caring for it. (Genesis 1:28; 2:15) They could succeed in their assignment only if they looked to their Creator for guidance and obeyed his instructions according to Proverbs 20:24. On their own, humans do not have the ability to care for the earth, and any effort they make will have limited success at best.
God intends to stop humans from ruining the earth according to Revelation 11:18. He will not reform the governments and earthly society that are harming the planet; he will replace them. (Revelation 21:1) For this reason, Jehovah declares: “Look! I am making all things new.”—Revelation 21:5.

Jehovah will replace human governments with a heavenly one called the Kingdom of God. That government, under the leadership of Jesus Christ, will then administer earth’s affairs according to Daniel 2:44 and Matthew 6:10.

God’s Kingdom will educate humans to live by God’s righteous standards. When humans recognize their Creator and heed his guidance, they will be able to live in harmony with the natural world.
