What is the paradisiacal glory and how does it differ from earth life today.

Is paradisiacal glory different from Celestial glory? If so, how do they differ?

"Paradisaical glory" refers to the earth in a "Terrestrial" state, albeit still mortal.

In other words, it'll be like the Garden of Eden was before the Fall of Adam. No thorns or brambles on the plants, predators eating grass instead of other animals, plants yielding abundant fruits and vegetables instead of humans needing to plow and thresh, etc.

It has nothing to do with Celestial glory.

Ok, so everything is still mortal and dies and stuff. BUT, all meat eaters will have their insides altered.

So, like, animals will die and just sit there and rot and be wasted. Maggots and stuff will not aid the decay of the bodies.

maggots aren't predators so they are given a free pass.

after the Millenium, the earth will be Celestialized, during the Millenium, it's merely "paradise." Global warming reaches epic proportions when the earth is scorched by the heat of Kolob and transformed literally into a "sea of glass." This is the Celestial state of the earth.

It will be great, a giant "urim and thummim". You can literally peer into the earth itself at this point and understand the mysteries of God.

Wow. It sounds amazing.

I would expect everything that dies to be changed in a twinkling of an eye. Until men begin again to deny their God when the last age of apostasy overtakes the world. You knew that there will be a great falling away at the end of the Millennium right?

Ok, so what about bacteria? Will bacteria exist or be obliterated? If bacteria is gone, what will we do without the "good" bacteria? Although "bad" bacteria has got to have a purpose, I would think.

Seems like it would be pretty horrible to have the entire foodchain eating the same food. I think it would collapse.

Oh, and no leather for anything!?

It means everyone will have great hair.

I'm not sure I'm down with the rot and decay piece. I don't recall having visited any vacation resort and have to deal with rotting and decaying.

Will there be flies? And mosquitoes?

I think it means that Earth will be operated as a giant Green Peace franchise.
