God's Judgments

Note a few of the many Bible prophecies that state what God's intervention, that is, the results of his judgments, will soon mean for the human family:

The upright are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it. As regards the wicked, they will be cut off from the very earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it." - Proverbs 2:21, 22.

Evildoers themselves will be cut off, but those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth. And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more... But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace." - Psalm 37:9-11.

Hope in Jehovah and keep his way, and he will exalt you to take possession of the earth. when the wicked ones are cut off, you will see it. Watch the blameless one and keep the upright one in sight, for the future of that man will be peaceful. But the transgressors themselves will certainly be annihilated together; the future of wicked people will be indeed cut off." --Psalm 37:34, 37, 38.

Therefore, in view of the marvelous future that will come to those who recognize the almighty Creator's right to rule us, we are urged: My commandments may your heart observe, because the length of days and years of life and peace will be added to you." In fact, eternal life will be added to those who choose to do God's will! Thus, God's Word counsels us: "Trust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not lean upon your own understanding. In all your ways take notice of him and he himself will make your paths straight." - Proverbs 3:1, 2, 5, 6.
