War continues to claim untold numbers of human lives. All of us have been touched by human suffering. That leads to the question: 'Will War and Suffering Ever End? God's Holy Word the Bible foretells a time when he will establish peace earth wide. Under his Kingdom, a heavenly government, people will not "learn war anymore." Instead, they will "beat their swords into plowshares." (Isaiah 2:4) God will bring an end to all injustice and suffering. The Bible promises: "[God- Jehovah] 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 [ including today's injustices and suffering] have passed away." Under his Kingdom, his Son(Jesus) whom he has appointed as King will be given authority to resurrect many millions of people who are dead in the grave(John 5:28, 29) to return to life on earth(Luke 23:43; Acts 24:15). Those resurrected ones will be able to learn the truth about God and to exercise faith in Jesus by obeying him.(Revelation 20:11-13) Those who return to life and do good things will be able to enjoy life forever on earth- Psalm 37:29. God made the hope for the dead by sending his Son to die for us[ John 3:16]. So the resurrection tells us about Jehovah's love and undeserved kindness that he extends to us imperfect humans. Imagine the great ecstasy when the dead come back to life and are reunited with their loved ones! Sun, 30 Sep 2012 04:02:41 -0700
