KNOWLEDGE That Leads To Everlasting LIfe

LIFE IN THE RESTORED PARADISE

Sickness, old age, and death will  no longer exist.  "At that time the eyes of the blind ones will be opened, and the very ears of the deaf ones will be unstopped. At that time the lame one will climb up just as the stag does, and the tongue of the speechless one will cry out in gladness."  (Isaiah 35:5, 6)  "God himself will be with [mankind].  And he 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 have passed away." -Revelation 21:3, 4.

Crime, violence and wickedness will be gone forever.  'Evildoers themselves will be cut off . . .Just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more . . . He will not be.  But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth."  (Psalm 37:9-11)  "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 2:22.

Peace will prevail earth wide.  "He [God] is making wars to cease to the extremity of the earth.  the bow he breaks apart and does cut the spear in pieces."  (Psalm 46:9)  "The righteous one will sprout, and the abundance of peace until the moon is no more." -Psalm 72:7.

Housing will be secure and work satisfying.   "They will certainly build houses and have occupancy . . . They will not build and have someone else have the occupancy; they will not plant and someone else do the eating.  For like the days of a tree will the days of my people be; and the work of their own hands my chosen ones will use to the full.  They will not toil for nothing, nor will they bring to birth for disturbance. -Isaiah 65:21-23.

Healthful food will be available in abundance.  "There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth; on the of the mountains there will be an overflow."  (Psalm 72:16)   "The earth itself will certainly give its produce; God,  our God, will bless us." -Psalm67:6.

Everlasting life on a paradise earth will be delightful.  "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it."  (Psalm 37:29)  "The wilderness and the waterless region will exult, and the desert plain will be joyful  and blossom as the saffron." -Isaiah 35:1.
