IS THE WORLD OUT OF CONTROL? - Conclusion of What Does the Bible Say?

These Bible teachings provide clear answers.  Mankind will not die off from pollution, lack of food and water, or a global pandemic.  The world will not be destroyed in a nuclear holocaust.  Why not?  God is in control of our planet's future.  Granted, God has allowed humans to exercise free will.  However, they will reap  the consequences for their decisions.  (Galatians 6:7)  The world is not like a runaway train, completely out of control and heading to a catastrophic end.  God has established boundaries, or limits, on how much damage humans can inflict on themselves. -Psalm 83:18; Hebrews 4:13.

But will do more.  He will bring about "an abundance of peace." (Psalm 37:11) The positive outlook explained in this article is just  a glimpse of the bright future that millions of Jehovah's Witnesses have learned about by studying the Bible.

Jehovah's Witnesses are a global community of men and women of all ages and of every ethnic background.  They worship  the one true God, whose name is Jehovah, as revealed in the Bible.  They are not afraid of the future because the Bible says:  "This is what Jehovah says,  the Creator the heavens, the true God, the One who formed the earth, its Maker who firmly established it, who did not create if simply for nothing, but formed it to be inhabited:  'I am Jehovah, and there is no one else.' "-Isaiah 45:18.
