California's War Dead

Five memories of Ramon T. Kaipat

“

My condolences to the family of Ramon.

War continues to claim untold numbers of human lives. All of us have been touched by human suffering. Therefore, the question arises: Will War and Suffering Ever End? The Bible teaches: God 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 injustices and suffering. The Bible promises: "[God] 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. The Bible also teaches that there is a hope for the dead. Most people who have died will be resurrected. Jesus promise that " those in the memorial tombs will... come out."(John 5:28,29) In harmony with God's original purpose, those resurrected as humans will have the opportunity to live on a paradise earth.[Luke 23:43] This promised future includes perfect health and everlasting life for obedient humans. The Bible says: " The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it."- Psalm 37:29. Imagine the great ecstasy when the dead come back to life and are reunited with their loved ones!
