Who Will Feed the World?

Soon-A Vibrant, Thriving Earth

Before renovating a dilapidated house, you may first need to clear out the rubbish. Similarly, Jehovah God will soon rid the earth of all the wicked, including those who see our planet, its natural assets, and even fellow humans as merely things to exploit in the interests of personal and corporate wealth.  (Psalm 37:10, 11; Revelation 11:18)  But Jehovah will preserve alive all who love him and strive to do his will. -1 John 2:15-17. 

Thereafter, the earth and its countless living things, including obedient humans, will be administered by a government of God's making-the Messianic Kingdom.  (Daniel 7:13, 14; Matthew 6:10) And what abundance the earth will produce under the wise rulership! Says Psalm 72:16:  "There will come to be plenty of grain; on top of the mountains there will be an overflow."  Yes, food will no longer be a cause of controversy and anxiety. Instead, it will be safe and plentiful. 

So as the present system goes ever deeper into its dark tunnel of despair and uncertainty, those who trust in Jehovah can look forward to a glorious  future right here on earth.   This hope is contained in the "good news of the kingdom," which Jehovah's Witnesses joyfully share with all who want a better and more just world.  (Matthew 24:14)  Thanks to this sure hope-and God's fatherly care of his people-we can, even now," reside in security and be undisturbed from dread of calamity." -Proverbs 1:33.
