MANKIND TRANSFORMED

Isaiah 11:9 tells us why no harm will be done in all the earth.  It says: "The earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters are covering the very sea." This pertains to people because animals cannot take in "the knowledge of Jehovah" and make changes, since they are governed by instinct.  But the knowledge of our Creator does change people.  No doubt you have already made some changes yourself as  a result of applying  the knowledge of God in your life.  Millions have done so.  Therefore, this prophecy has already begun to be fulfilled in those serving Jehovah.  Yet, it also points to a time when people the world over will shed any animalistic  or violent traits and become peaceable forever.

How grand it will be when the knowledge of god fills the earth! There will be and extensive educational program under the direction of the King Jesus Christ and his 144,000 corulers.  New "scrolls" will  then come into use.  Evidently these are God's written instructions that will serve as a basis for educating earth's inhabitants.  (Revelation 20:12)  Mankind will learn, not war, but peace.  All destructive weapons will be gone forever.  (Psalm 46:9) Inhabitants of the new world will be taught to treat their fellow humans with love, respect, and dignity.

Mankind will become one united family.  There will be no barriers to unity and brotherhood. ( Psalm 133:1-3) No one's home will have to be locked  to keep thieves out. Peace will reign in every heart, in every house, in every part of the  earth. -Micah 4:4.
