Those who say that things will stay much the same
as they have always been are greatly mistaken
Similarly, Jehovah God, as the Creator of the earth
and all that is on it, has the right to decide whom he
will allow to inhabit the planet. (Revelation 4:11)
Jehovah’s stated purpose is to remove from this
earth wicked people who ignore his will and
encroach on the rights of others.—Psalm 37:9-11.
Paradise Restored Soon, God’s Kingdom in the
hands of Jesus Christ will rule the earth. Jesus
called this new beginning “the renewal of all
things.” (Matthew 19:28, New International Version)
What will conditions be like? Note the following Bible
promises:
Psalm 46:9. “He is making wars to cease to the
extremity of the earth.”
Isaiah 35:1. “The wilderness and the waterless
region will exult, and the desert plain will be joyful
and blossom as the saffron.”
Isaiah 65:21-23. “The work of their own hands my
chosen ones will use to the full. They will not toil for
nothing, nor will they bring to birth for disturbance.”
John 5:28, 29. “The hour is coming in which all those
in the memorial tombs will hear [Jesus’] voice and
come out.”
Revelation 21:4. “[God] will wipe out every tear from
their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will
mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.”
Reasons to Believe Do you believe the Bible’s
promises? The Bible foretold that many would not. It
states: “In the last days there will come
ridiculers . . . proceeding according to their own
desires and saying: ‘Where is this promised
presence of his? Why, from the day our forefathers
fell asleep in death, all things are continuing exactly
as from creation’s beginning.’” (2 Peter 3:3, 4) But
such scoffers are greatly mistaken. Consider just
four reasons why you can believe what the Bible
says:
(1) God has intervened in earth’s affairs in the past.
The Flood of Noah’s day is an outstanding example.
—2 Peter 3:5-7.
(2) God’s Word accurately predicted current global
conditions.
(3) All things are not “continuing exactly as from
creation’s beginning.” On a scale unprecedented in
history, our planet suffers from social, moral, and
environmental degradation.
(4) The “good news of the kingdom” is now being
preached throughout the earth, signaling that “the
end will come” soon.—Matthew 24:14.
Jehovah’s Witnesses invite you to study God’s
Word, the Bible, with them so that you can learn
more about the hope of everlasting life under the
rule of God’s Kingdom. (John 17:3) Yes, a wonderful
future awaits mankind. The very best of times lies
just ahead! Will you be a part of this future?
Will you be a part of this future?
