For I will reveal myself from heaven with power and great glory, with all the hosts thereof and dwell in righteousness with men on earth a thousand years, and the wicked shall not stand. Doctrine & Covenants 29:11

Despite the challenges and pains of mortality life is good and is meant to be enjoyed. And yet, in a not too distant future, the Lord Jesus will return to earth in power and great glory The Prophet Joseph Smith taught: “Christ and the resurrected Saints will reign over the earth during the thousand years. They will not probably dwell upon the earth, but will visit it when they please, or when it is necessary to govern it” (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, 268). The wicked will be destroyed, the righteous will be lifted up, and earth will become for a thousand years a paradise. Pain and death and heartache and tears will be no more. Righteousness will prevail. Though there is much in this life that brings satisfaction and enjoyment, the righteous look forward with an eye of faith the future. They echo the plea of John the Revelator: “Even so, come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation 12:20). (Robert L. Millet and Lloyd D. Newell. Draw Near Unto Me: Daily Reflections on the Doctrine and Covenants. 81)
