WHEN THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD FILLS THE EARTH

AFTER ARMAGEDDON-A PARADISE EARTH

As shown earlier, Jehovah God will soon destroy the present wicked system of things. The world is rapidly approaching what the Bible calls Har-Magedon, or Armageddon.  That word may make some people think of a nuclear holocaust brought about by warring nations, but Armageddon is nothing of the kind. As Revelation 16:14-16 shows, Armageddon is "the war of the great day of God the Almighty."  It is a war involving "the kings of the entire inhabited earth," or the nations.  Jehovah God's Son, the appointed King, will soon ride forth into battle. The outcome is absolutely sure. All those who oppose God's Kingdom and who are a part of Satan's wicked system will be eliminated. Only those loyal to Jehovah will survive.  -Revelation 7:9, 14; 19:11-21. 

Imagine that you have survived the cataclysm. What would life be like on earth in God's promised new world?  (2 Peter 3:13) We need not speculate, for the Bible tells us, and it says is thrilling. We learn that Satan and his demons will be put out of commission, locked away in an abyss of inactivity during the Thousand Year Reign of Jesus Christ.   No longer will those wicked, malicious creatures be lurking behind the scenes, fomenting trouble and trying to goad us into acts of unfaithfulness against God. What a relief! - Revelation 20:1-3. 

In time, all forms of sickness will vanish.  (Isaiah 33:24) The lame will then stand, walk, run, and dance on sound legs. After years of life in their world of silence, the deaf will hear the joyous sounds around them.  The blind will gasp in awe as a rich world of color and form  takes shape before their eyes.  (Isaiah 35:5, 6) At last, they will see the faces of their loved ones!  Perhaps then their vision will just momentarily with tears of joy.
