My heartfelt condolences to the family of Vilmar on their loss of a dear loved one.

War continues to claim untold numbers of human lives. All of us have been touched by human suffering. But the question arises: Will War and Suffering Ever End?

The creator of humankind(Jehovah) God foretells a time when he will establish peace earth wide. Under his Kingdom, a heavenly government[ many know about the prayer Jesus told us to pray for at Matthew 6:9,10- some call it the Our Father prayer; The Kingdom come prayer] under this government or arrangement 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 sufferings] have passed away."-Revelation 21:3,4. For those who have died, under that government the King, Jesus Christ, has made this promises that "those in the memorial tombs will... come out."(John 5:28,29) yes a resurrection hope. They will come back under peaceful and righteous conditions(Acts 24:15; 2 Peter 3:13) Imagine the great ecstasy when the dead come back to life and are reunited with their loved ones!
