Yes, this does sound wonderful. However, with total secrecy of emails on Internet, there could a problem. Wicked people could conspire to do evil things, as they have done in the past, are doing now, and will do again in the future. Without someway of monitoring Internet chatter and emails, there would be no way to prevent great tragedies like the bombing of buildings, planned mass shootings, and the planned riots we have seen in Paris, in London, and in the USA recently.
Suppose that soon we have a "great awakening" where somehow, the wicked currently in power on the earth are routed, imprisoned, and the worst of the worst are executed. Yes, this would give us new freedoms and we would feel great joy. However, most likely, the children of those wicked ones would start sending emails and then conspire to take down the good leaders. Marxism, Satanism, Communism, and other -isms would continue to be taught, if not in public, then in secret. Letters would be written (as they are now), and articles would be published (as they are now) that accuse our leaders of horrific but imaginary crimes, just like Hitler, Stalin, and Lenin did with continual purges, mass imprisonments, and internment camps. Remember that Hitler, Stalin, and Lenin were responsible for the death of millions largely through publishing lies, lies, and more lies.
Hundreds of years ago, Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet, "There is something rotten in Denmark." There is always someone who is rotten to the core just as in the beginning with Cain who killed his brother Abel. With freedom, and with free will, there is always the chance and high probability that the wicked could come to power once again, and then bring on the Antichrist.
Only in Heaven will we be truly free. Only in Heaven can we rejoice for all eternity, praising, worshiping, and glorifying God Who has set us free from the devil and from the evil ones.
