A New World Free From Vandalism

Do you believe that vandalism really can be eradicated?  If so, how will such a momentous change come about?  God's Kingdom will soon eliminate this wicked system.  Those inhabiting the earth will be held responsible for any deliberate breaking of God's righteous laws.  (Compare Isaiah 24:5, 6.)  While "transgressors themselves will certainly be annihilated together," those  who love righteousness  will be delivered. "Jehovah will help them and provide them with escape from wicked people and save them, because they have taken refuge in him." -Psalm 37:38-40. 

Really, the roots of vandalism will be eliminated completely. And so will all crime, oppression, suffering, and wickedness.  Instead, peace, true righteousness, quietness, and security will characterize life in the new world.  Isaiah 32:18 describes what will prove true in a liberal way:  "My people must dwell  in a peaceful abiding place and in residence of full confidence and in undisturbed resting places."  Yes, a  beautiful, global paradise will be inhabited by people who show love and consideration toward others. 

Together with millions of others, former vandals already enjoy an intimate relationship with Jehovah God.  They  no longer have any share in acts of vandalism. Will you too allow God's Word to guide you to life in his new world?  Why not imitate the ancient psalmist who recorded Jehovah's  declaration:  "I shall make you  have insight and instruct you in the way you should go. I will give advice with my eye upon you." -Psalm 32:8.
