Conclusion of A NEW WORLD IS AT HAND!

The whole earth will become  a paradise.  Lovely new homes and gardens will occupy land that had once been ruined by sinful humans.  (Isaiah 62:21-24; Revelation 11:18)  As time passes, parts of the earth already subdued will expand until the whole globe is as beautiful and productive as the garden of Eden. And God will never fail to 'open his hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.' -Psalm 145:16.

There will be peace between humans and animals.Wild and domestic animals will feed together.  Even a little child will have nothing to fear from animals that are now dangerous. -Isaiah 11:6-9; 62:25.  

Sickness will vanish.  As Ruler of God's heavenly Kingdom,  Jesus will to healing on a far grander scale than when he was on  earth.  (Matthew 9:35; Mark 1:40-42; John 5:5-9)  Then "no resident will say: 'I am sick.' " -Isaiah 33:24; 35:5, 6.

Dead loved ones will be restored to life with the prospect of never dying.  All those sleeping in death who are in God's memory will be brought back to life. In fact, "there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." -Acts 24:15; John 5:28, 29. 

What a marvelous future awaits those who choose to learn about our Grand Creator, Jehovah God, and to serve him! It was to the coming Paradise on earth that Jesus pointed when he promised the evildoer who died alongside him:  "You will be with me in Paradise."  (Luke 23:43) It is vital that  we learn more about Jesus Christ, through whom all these blessings will be made possible.
