The problem with such forced analogies is they most often just don't really hold water that well when you get into details.
What do you think the primary principles/rules/ways of life that support civilization are precisely? It's largely what the bible is about, by the way, you could say. One way of saying it is that we are to become (be transformed to be) so very well civilized that we could enter heaven and live an eternal life in peace with others, without any strife. A world without wars, ever.
While trying to get people to realize there will be a later justice can be helpful, this teaching by itself isn't really convincing or effective enough by itself...some will heed it, but very many will just ignore it...
I am to some degree yes (at least a few). What makes you bring it up?
True largely, but actually there is much like what many might strive for in an idealized nirvana we can gain here and now from Christ, the "peace beyond understanding". It's for real. I can attest to it.
