The state of the world will get progressively worse. People have given strong dominion to evil and the influence of God needs to be stronger. Nevertheless, God tells us what will happen in the future. He has given us the details. And Heaven is a much better place than earth is. However, when Christ is going to return, He will reign for 1,000 yrs with His people. After this period of time, satan will be allowed a short release and he will try to deter people from following God and to turn towards evil. If they turn towards evil then they forsake their lives. God is the Source of Life, if we are separated from Him, then we are on a path towards death automatically. Jesus wants us to live, but Life is only found in Him. Jesus is God and God is the only Source of Eternal Life. The final judgment takes place after the millennial reign of Christ, and then the Lord will make anew the heaven and the earth. We cannot even imagine the things which God has instore for the people who love Him. This world is like being stuck in an atari game, you make think it is cool, but then again living in an atari world, you have never seen an PS3.
