A Kingdom on Earth…is the real answer we need.
"Thy Kingdom Come. Thy Will be done in Earth."—Early Christians expected a literal fulfillment of this prayer. Shouldn’t we?
Just imagine what it will mean! REAL joy and peace and health. REAL contentment and fullness.
REAL government by God, for man, which will not perish from this globe. REAL HOPES—soon to come. Read them. Find joy and calm.
Consider The World Now! But Then . . .
…the earth shall yield her increase. Psalm 67:6
The want of today will give way to the fullness of tomorrow. Blight will no longer cause famine—insects no longer destroy; and the inhabitants shall no longer say "I am sick." The balance of nature will return: the wolf, in peace, will rest with the lamb, and nothing will hurt nor destroy in all His holy kingdom, for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
The eyes of the blind…shall be opened! Isaiah 35:5
Restoration of all that man has lost will be the first work of the kingdom. He whose eyes are darkened will see again with bright delight; he whose mind has been darkened will comprehend with clarity. The dignity of a sound mind and a sound body will return. Ears which have never perceived sound will hear; minds which have never perceived truth will understand. Love will extend from hearts which had been stone; wrongs will cease and forgiveness will reach out from those who have been wronged. The knowledge of God will fill the earth as the waters cover the sea; fear will flee away.
The lame man…shall leap like a deer. Isaiah 35:6
Vitality will pulse through limbs once withered. Wholeness will return to bodies once dismembered. Life! Life expressed in energy, in direction, in attainment, in the joy of knowing that our bodies will respond to our wills—all accompanied with the profound peace of the knowledge that tragedies will no longer strike us down. Think of all the beauty of human form and feature that you have ever seen—and know that perfected humanity will be still of surpassing loveliness.
Neither shall they learn war anymore…Isaiah 2:4
The enemy which has cast its shadow across the path of every man will perish. Death itself will die! And the hope (seemingly beyond hope) will be realized as all who have died are awakened, restored, and are given the opportunity for life without end; for God is the Savior of ALL—not just those who have believed.
Think of the reunions, the rebuilding, the re-planning—all without fear of termination. Think of the peace, the calm, the certainty—the government of the Prince of Peace: "and of the increase of His government and of peace there shall be no end." No tears or pain; no sorrow and crying; no death, no dying. Weeping has endured for a long, long night; but joy and song will greet the morning!
He will swallow up death in victory…Isaiah 25:8
"Thou openest thine hand and satisfiest the desire of every living thing." Psalm 145:16 Food for all in rich supply will be one of the abundances in God’s kingdom.
God hath made everything beautiful in its time. Ecclesiastes 3:11
