This world cannot see that until both natural forces find equivalence in form. Gentile will become more like the giving Jew instead of the taking for ones own pleasure. Jews at the age of 13 are taught to not live for oneself that only the creator matters, this is why we abstain from monetary gain on Fridays and Saturdays the most lucrative days of the week, and we observe all the festivals regardless of the worlds events, and we even give up palatable delicacies just show we are obedient and heard. It also prepares us mentally for the light in Kabbalah, because we are conditioned at 13 to start to take in order to bestow. We stop just loving ourselves and start trying to love something else other than ourselves which is why we are different than anything else on this planet until the wisdom of Kabbalah can spread, so that we all understand that this is bigger than just the “self” and that all functions are actually after that same goal. Jews become egoist because we are trained to be, but the life of being a Jew when one actually learns from what tradition is showing is a beautiful part of this world, it reminds us we are all one, no one was created bad and even “the evil inclination” was created by God so it is good and has a purpose.  Our sages preserved this knowledge its just sad that most Jews dont actually read it to understand it anymore.
Much the same as now, at least on day One. No lightning bolts from the sky. But then a gradual realigning of what we do to bring it in line with the vision of cooperation.
But to be real, in Notes From Underground, Dostoyevsky writes about the destructive element – the ‘just because I can’ element in mankind.
And in Ethics Of The Fathers Raban ben Gamliel says ‘Do not trust in yourself until the day of your death.’
I imagine it will take generations to clean up our views. Come the revolution! 🙂
