But history repeats itself sometimes. So the dreams of past philosophers might be interesting if they are re-worked in modern terms. Let's take Revelation 19 (and onward) as a template, and re-write it using "space era" terminology, removing all supernatural references (after all the bible has been rewritten many times over the decades, with several versions available online). Whether you think it is plausible depends on your own predictions of the future. If you are religious, please don't be offended, in fact maybe it's better if you don't read the following:

Revelation 19:

I heard what sounded like a huge number of people in space transmitting the signal:
"Power belongs to our government, which stands for equality and justice. Our adminstration has condemned the terrorist actions of <insert country name>, and avenged the killing of its citizens."

More news reports from witnesses: "Hurray! The enemy buildings are burning, the smoke is visible from orbit."

The twenty-four international earth representatives and the four genetically-engineered space-adapted human representatives immediately threw their support behind their President, and exclaimed: "Good, Right ON!"

Then a statement was issued from the Prime Minister's office, saying: "Congratulations to our President, all you his citizens, you who support him, both small and great!"

Then I heard a crowd roar like thunder, shouting: "Hurray! We won. Cheers to all, and credit to our administration! They ought to get medals."

Access to space was re-opened and there in orbit was a white Presidential spacecraft, carrying elected representatives that are described as fair and equitable. Only when justified do they make war. They are ambitious and full of energy, and come from many nations.

They each have an electronic password that no one knows but they themselves. The President of the space administration is elected and no one questions his authority. The armies of space follow them, riding in white spacecraft and dressed in sophisticated spacesuits. Their spacecraft have optical relays projecting solar energy beams to strike down rogue nations.

And I saw a spacecraft orbiting the sun, beaming a dangerous amount of energy towards Earth, as if saying to all the birds of the Earth, "Come, gather together for the great conflagration, so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, small and great. This weapon does not discriminate!"

Then I saw the leader of the rogue alliance, and the rogue states of earth and their armies that support him, gathered together and declaring war on the space administration, the President, and his army. But the leader of the rogue nations was captured, and with him the propaganda agents who had performed on his behalf. With their propaganda they had deluded many. The two of them were launched, still alive, into the Sun. The rest of them were incinerated with the solar energy beam that came out of the optical relay on the Presidential spacecraft, and all the birds gorged themselves on their remains.

Revelation 20:

A space marshal then came down out of orbit, with a deep-space prison module, riding in a spacecraft attached to a long Orbital Skyhook tether. He seized the hate-mongers, and sentenced them for their crimes to a total of a thousand years, to be served consecutively. He catapaulted their prison into interstellar space, and closed communications with them, to keep them from broadcasting hatred to the nations anymore until their sentence was ended. After that, they and their ideas would be set free (if they were still alive).

I saw those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the caskets of those who had been murdered for their freedom of expression. They had not followed the terrorists or their ideas and had not received a membership in their organization. Their ideas are judged fit to guide the people for a thousand years. (The ideas of the rest would be censored until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first age of enlightenment. Those who live during this period are blessed. The death of dreams has no power over them. They will be role models and will offer guidance for a thousand years.

When the thousand years are over, destructive ideas will be allowed to be broadcast to everyone on earth, to gather them for battle. They will blame the censors for withholding the truth, and declare war on them. But a beam of solar energy will come down from space and incinerate them. And the ideals that deceived them will be bottled up and catapaulted into the Sun, where the terrorists and the leaders of rogue nations had been thrown. Their substance will be trapped by the Sun's gravity day and night forever and ever.

Then I saw a great white spacecraft and the leader who was seated in it. Earth and sky were far below, their effects not apparent in zero gravity. And I saw representations of history, all things great and small, presented to the court, and every existing record book was opened, scanned, and analyzed. Another record book was opened, which is the book of life. The records of history were evaluated according to the information they contained. All people, from every period in recorded history were evaluated according to what they had done. Anything that was found to be inconsistent was destroyed. This is the second death. There would be no memory of anyone improperly recorded in the book of life.

Revelation 21:

Then I saw a new world, the earth of the past was no more, and there was no longer any people on Earth.

I saw the Space City, beautifully constructed. And I heard a loud transmission, "Now the responsibility is with the people. They will be their own supports, and they will heal themselves. They will conquer every ill. There will be no more suffering, for the old order of things has been corrected."

The leader said, "We are starting over!" Then he said, "Record everything from now on. We have come full circle. Everyone is free to live their lives. Those who overcome the pitfalls will inherit this civilization. They will benefit from a full and complete knowledge of their history. I will be their ancestor and they will be my descendants. Those who do not overcome the pitfalls will be forgotten. This is the second death."

An engineer came and showed me a virtual representation of a Space City. It shone with immersive sunlight. It's construction was of engineered ceramic, transparent like crystal. It had twelve access points, admitting twelve spacecraft at a time to each. On the ports were written the names of the all the nations permitted to use them. There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. Underneith the city were twelve optical foundations, filtering different wavelengths of sunlight and distributing energy to internal sections.

The engineer who talked with me had a sophisticated rangefinder to measure the city, its gates and its walls. The city was laid out like a cube. He measured the city and found it to be 2,200 kilometers in length, width and height. He measured its crystaline wall and it was 65 meters thick.

The wall was made of semi-transparent silicon oxides such as jasper, and the city of gold-plated quartz to filter radiation. The foundations of the city walls were constructed of various transparent silicon crystals for filtering specific colors. These were jasper, sapphire, chalcedony, emerald, sardonyx, carnelian, chrysolite, beryl, topaz, chrysoprase, jacinth, and finally amethyst.

The twelve portals were spherical and airtight. The great traffic routes of the city were of transparent glass with a protective layer of pure gold. There was no central governance. The city itself was a conduit for sunlight, illuminating every internal part without lamps. The nations will live in its immersive light. On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there. Criminals will not be allowed in, only those whose names are written in the book of life.

Revelation 22:

Then the engineer showed me the river of light, as clear as crystal, flowing down the middle of the city. On each side of the river resided biological engineering facilities, and greenhouses with high-growth plant varieties yielding new crops every month. Their genes are selected regularly for favorable traits. Thus the process of selection will continue forever.
