I feel confident that it is still possible for us to have a Renaissance of peace and prosperity similar to the first half of 4th Nephi. I didn’t think we need a single Christian religion (that seems beyond the possibility for our time) but we can celebrate a layout of religious and cultural traditions that are all unified in Christlike values and actions. We could have peace and prosperity by focusing on lifting up the poor among us without having to have all goods held in coming as they did. I don’t suspect it would last centuries like it did for them but it could certainly last several decades like the economic prosperity after World War III (although maybe twice as long and with the advances in social justice that we have made—and still need to make—since then).
Also, I would love the power to play with wild beasts as if they were lambs.
