TEACH YOUR CHILDREN


Conclusion of A Kingdom That Will Change the Whole Earth

God's Kingdom, which  Jesus taught us to pray for, is a special kind of government. It is a "princely rule" because Jehovah makes his Son, Jesus, the Ruler or King, of the Kingdom. But did you know that others will be chosen to rule as kings  with Jesus in his Father's Kingdom? -Let's talk about them.

Just before he died, Jesus told his faithful apostles  that he was going to "the house" of his Father in heaven.  "I am going my way to prepare a place for you," he said, "that where I am you also may be." ( John 14:1-3) Do you know what the apostles  and the others chosen will do in heaven with Jesus?-They "will rule as kings with him." The Bible even tells how many will rule as kings with Jesus. There will be 144,000. -Revelation 14:1, 3; 20:6. 

What do you think it will be like on earth when the Prince of  Peace and his chosen 144,000 are rulers?- It will be wonderful!  There will be no war. Animals will live at peace with one another and with us. Nobody will get sick or die. The eyes of the blind will see, the ears of the deaf will hear, the lame will run and jump like a deer.  The earth will grow good food for everyone. And all people will love one another as Jesus taught his disciples to do.  (John 13:34, 35) Let's turn to the verses listed here in the book of Isaiah and read about the wonderful things that will take place. -Isaiah 2:4; 11:6-11; 25:8; 33:24;  35:5, 6; 65:21-24. 

Ever since Jesus taught people to pray "let your kingdom come,"  millions have learned about that Kingdom.  This knowledge has changed their lives. Soon, when that Kingdom comes and replaces all governments of the earthy, everyone who serves Jehovah God and his chosen Ruler, Jesus Christ, will enjoy peace, health, and happiness. -John 17:3.
