How does millennialism connect divine justice with the problem of evil?

Millennialism addresses the problem of evil by framing it within an eschatological belief in ultimate divine justice. By asserting that God will eventually judge both the living and the resurrected dead at the end of time, millennialism provides a rationale for theodicy—the effort to reconcile the existence of evil and suffering with the belief in a benevolent God.1

This perspective offers solace to believers by promising that the current world, characterized by suffering and injustice, will be replaced by a new, transformed reality. This expectation of a future "new world" serves as a powerful source of comfort for those enduring hardship, suggesting that their present suffering is not the final state of existence but part of a larger, cosmic drama where divine justice will ultimately prevail.1
