In the Messianic Kingdom the earth will become transformed to a near Edenic state. Because of the abundance of good that God will shower upon His world, it will appear as if the world has been created anew, that is, brand new because the world will have little resemblance to the previous world order. This will be the general characteristic of the Messianic Kingdom. It will be a renovation of the present earth, not the brand new one see by the apostle John (Revelation 21&22). The Revelation passages describe the new heavens and new earth of the Eternal Order, while the Isaiah passage describes those of the Messianic Kingdom which will be a renovation of the present heavens and earth. In the world’s chronological sequence, the Tribulation will be followed by the seventy-five-day interval and then the thousand-year Messianic Kingdom (aka the Millennium). After which will be the Eternal Order seen by John that he recorded in the book of Revelation. Those of the Revelation are not a renovation, but a brand-new order. So, for the Millennium, there will be a total renovation of the heavens and the earth. The fact that the term create (Hebrew boraa) is used shows that this renovation will be a miraculous creative movement by God, for only He can create. The result of this renovation will be a continuation of many things of the old order but renovated, such as the Mediterranean and Dead Seas as well as a number of new things such as the millennial mountain (Isaiah 2:2–4; Micah 4:1–2). One of the reasons for this transformation will be the binding of Satan for the entire thousand-year Messianic Kingdom who tormented the world for thousands of years.
