“

I would like to extend my condolences to Sean's family. 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 injustice 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." Revelation 21:3,4. If you would like to know more about this, speak with one of Jehovah's Witnesses when they are in your neighborhood. They would be happy to talk with you.
