In the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), the Messianic Period is envisioned as a time of world peace, prosperity, and the resurrection of the dead.
World peace and prosperity seem attainable, once people devote their time to productive matters rather than conflict. However, the resurrection of the dead seems beyond the pale of science.
The Messianic Period begins when we personally and collectively awaken to the divine light, the essence of every thing.
World peace comes from recognizing every thing is a manifestation of the divine and treating all beings and the environment accordingly, with love and respect.
World prosperity is realized by helping those who are less fortunate. As well, we are prosperous when we view the now as a whole, not a hole; recognizing how fortunate we are, instead of desiring what we think we don't have.
The dead are resurrected when we come to know the nature of light. Those who once were in the now and are now no longer remain in the now but light years away from here....
