THE WAY OF HAPPINESS - Hope

AN END TO WARFARE:  "Jehovah . . . is bringing an end to wars throughout the earth.  He breaks the bow and shatters the spear, he burns military wagons with fire." - Psalm 46:8, 9.

NO MORE SICKNESS, SUFFERING, OR DEATH:   "The tent of God is with mankind . . .  He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry not pain be anymore."
 -Revelation 21:3,4.

AMPLE FOOD FOR ALL: "There will be an abundance of grain on the earth; on the top of the mountains it will overflow." - Psalm 72:16.

A JUST RULERSHIP BY ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT--CHRIST'S KINGDOM:   "To [Jesus Christ] there were given rulership, honor, and a kingdom, that the peoples,nations, and language  groups should all serve him.  His rulership is an everlasting  rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom will not be destroyed." - Daniel 7:14.

How can we be sure of those promises?  When on earth, Jesus publicly confirmed his credentials as King Designate.  He healed the sick, fed the poor, and raised the dead. Even more important were his teachings, for they include principles that will enable people to live together forever in peace and unity. Jesus also foretold future events, including those that would mark the final days of the present world.
