PODCAST PREP HOW WONDERFUL IT WILL BE WHEN CHRIST RULES THE WORLD The Devil thought he had won in the garden, the devil thought he had won at Calvary, but when Christ was resurrected victory was achieved for mankind. See I Cor 15:20, 52-53, 57. Victory over death is ahead of us. See again Rev 19:11, 20 and 20:1-3, 6. Christ returns and forcefully puts down all the world evils, governments and armies. Isa 13:11 describes how the world then will be humbled. What will this millennial paradise be like? No wasted spending or economic resources on war and armies. See Isa 2:2-4. Wisdom will govern the world instead of all the corrupt and ungodly regimes that exist today. See Isa 11:1-2. This will be so wonderful! Further the world will have only one true religion. ANIMAL NATURE WILL BE CHANGED See Isa 11:6-7. The predators will all eat straw and no longer be dangerous. I believe it also will mean no pests as well and no horrible parasites. It seems a reasonable assumption. Think about it! No more FLEAS OR MOSQUITOS OR TAPE WORMS. That will be so wonderful! ALL MANKIND WILL BE CONVERTED Gary & Jim See Isa 11:9 where it states that everyone will know God. Knowledge of God will be like water on the bottom of the sea. See Isa 66:23. Everyone will be keeping the Sabbath. I imagine each village or town will have meeting halls within a 1 or 2 mile walk for all the people. Modern technology may allow congregations to sometimes watch sermons given in Jerusalem by saints like Noah or Paul. ALL PEOPLE WILL SPEAK A PURE LANGUAGE SO THAT COMMUNICATION worldwide WILL BE NO PROBLEM. ZEPH. 3:9. that will be so wonderful! NO NEED FOR POLICE FORCES AND HOSPITALS Members of God’s family will do it. See Isa 30:20-21 and Rev 2: 26-27. I believe the pro family environment will allow strong families to grow and be able to handle many of their own issues. Healthy people will seldom need heath care. The God family members surely will heal those who need it. How wonderful it will be to not need police or emergency rooms. THE DESERT WILL BLOOM LIKE A ROSE See Isa 35:1-2. Imagine a world where the entire planet is so blessed by God with rain in due season and other natural blessings. This vast restoration of the soil will produce healthy populations and crops and cattle. The earth will be a green paradise. The planet will be like the Garden of Eden. This will be so wonderful. THE GLORY TO COME IS BEYOND OUR ABILITY TO IMAGINE IT. See Romans 8:18, 19, 23-26. We should live in the HOPE BASED ON BEING IN GOD’S FAMILY AND SHARING SOME OF THAT GLORY, wow! JIM
