Does humanity need freedom? If so, what would this look like?

It is crystal clear that we do really need freedom in view of the situation of this system of things, we're faced with critical time hard to deal with; characterized by corruption, disasters(natural & human-caused), pestilences of all kinds(curable and incurable), food shortages in some part of the world, poverty and all kinds of negative traits exhibited by mankind.
Prophecies have declared that all these mentioned are meant to happen & vividly all these are in place.
The question to ask is this: Would the world be ever free of all these mess?
Under divine inspiration a writer penned these words down in a book of great insight:

With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
