Perhaps I should first read: (God promised the nations of the world that they would live in peace with Jesus as their ruler (Daniel 7:11–14). And He promised creation that the curse would be lifted (Romans 8:18–23), animals and the earth would be restored to peace and prosperity (Isaiah 11:6–9; 32:13–15), and people would be freed from disease (Ezekiel 34:16). These, too, will be fulfilled during the 1,000-year reign.)
                                                                                  &

(Jesus' sovereignty will extend beyond human political systems and into all of creation. The curse will be lifted (Romans 8:18-23). Animals will live in peace again (Isaiah 11:6-9, 35:9, 65:25). Fields will be productive and freed from the curse of weeds (Isaiah 32:13-15). And the mortals who survived the Tribulation and populate the 1000-year reign will be freed from disease (Isaiah 33:24, 35:5-6, 61:1-2;Ezekiel 34:16).)                                                        

It seems to express and measure our contemplation towards a deeper reasoning ...as we can never fully know God, yet what He reveals to us may be of personal beauty, if not for assertive authority.  I see reason in God creating the angels first ...showing love without restraint, and the downfall part of that. Then the more humble humans are created, given the understanding that there is reason for restraint, and that the reason is that the path without restraint has already been paved by evil ...or those opposing God continually.

Out of the garden, it becomes much of the doing continually what is evil in the sight of God. And from having God fight for them, to the questioning of God's ways ...so they falter, then have to fight their own battles after it becomes much worse than ever would have become if under God's guidance.  And we have those who do what is right in their own eyes ...all the way through the Book of Judges.

Comparatively speaking, we set ourselves up to our own supreme type existence ...not as angels, nor as like God, but more readily without God.  Until the present time, where those who kill for a false teaching, have visions of the true God ...or Jesus, and may have to choose between what they have seen from others, now befalling them, but for a true prize. Yet, also amongst all this, we have a great divide with those who feel they are rich beyond measure without God ...where at the eventual end time, will lose it all.

We perhaps then are seen as to return to a life similar in many ways to the Garden of Eden, and though without disease and living near a thousand years ...the memory still serves to a not too distant time when there was much more than mere subsistence.  It would be a much appreciative and improved existence for some, but others would miss what they once had ...and find it difficult to be thankful for other's gain in view of their loss of things they once had.

It appears that these memories are the ones that may influence a rebellion to gain back a realization of those coveted days, in spite of the contentment of a grateful group who happily like the modest yet sufficient provision.  Why wouldn't everyone long for Jesus to rule and reign?  Well, it must be a longing beyond just theory ...as in actuality, when He does reign, many will complain as those who did when they followed Moses out of Egypt.  Or look back as Lot's wife did ...perhaps having been a pillar in the community.  Heaven may have many characteristic traits to the Garden of Eden, and the thousand year reign of Jesus ...so if not content with the peace, many may want a piece of the pie (figuratively, whether imagined as your favorite pie, or forbidden fruit pie).
