"What on earth is the Kingdom?"
A Kingdom on Earth ...
is the real answer we need.
"Thy Kingdom come
They 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 0 soon to come.
Read them. Find joy and calm.
Consider the World Now!
\#But then ...
... the Earth shall yield her increase. #Ps 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 in
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! #Isa 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. #Isa 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 of still surpassing
loveliness!
Neither shall they learn war any more ...# Isa 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 ...# Isa 25:8
"Thou openest thine hand and
satisfiest the desire of every living thing." -#Ps 145:16
Food for all in rich supply will be one of
the abundances of the kingdom. Hunger will vanish.
But there is another kind of
hunger, one that can be satisfied now. It is the hunger for truth. If you have
found the kingdom prospects shown in these pages to be good, then you may be
hungering for more. There are answers for the questions so often asked
but so rarely answered; How does God plan to accomplish these things? If God
really exists, why has He permitted suffering? How does He deal in both love
and justice with believers and also with unbelievers? What is all of this that
we hear about "church" and "being saved?" What about the
scriptures that speak about heaven instead of earth? What about Bible
contradictions?
Truth is available. Truth is consistent.
Truth is reasonable. Taste it! Send a note to the address on the back cover and
we will happily send you THE DIVINE PLAN OF THE AGES (and perhaps some other
tasty morsels)- the book which lets you see that the Bible does, indeed, make
sense. You can know the when, the how, and the why of the
kingdom on earth.
God hath made everything beautiful in its
time. #Ec 3:11
