A Future of Peace

Jehovah has done a marvelous thing in this "the final part of the days."  He has gathered from all nations, people who want to serve him.  He has taught them to walk in his ways, ways of peace.  These are the ones who will survive the coming "great tribulation" and pass into a peaceful new world in which war will be abolished forever. -Revelation 7:14.

Swords-weaponry -will be no more.  The psalmist wrote of that time:  "Come, you people, behold the activities of Jehovah, how he has set astonishing events on the earth.  He is making wars to cease to the extremity of the earth.  The bow he breaks apart and does cut the spear in pieces; the wagons he burns in the fire."  (Psalm 46:8, 9)  In view of such a prospect, Isaiah's following exhortation is as appropriate today as it was when he wrote it:  "O men of the house of Jacob, come  and let us walk in the light of Jehovah."  (Isaiah 2:5)  Yes, let Jehovah's light illuminate our path now, and we will walk in his way for all eternity. -Micah 4:5.
