What Is God Doing? - Conclusion of The Damaging Effects of Sin

Restoration Work Continues

Before his ascension to heaven, Jesus commanded his followers:  "Make disciples  of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the  name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit . . . And look!I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things." - MATTHEW 28:19, 20. 

So the restoration of  mankind would not end with Jesus' death. It would continue all the way to "the conclusion of the system of things"-the time when God's Kingdom would begin to take control of the earth. That time is here now.  We know this because the sign that Jesus foretold regarding "the conclusion of the system of things" is now being fulfilled. - MATTHEW 24:3-14; LUKE 21:7-11; 2 TIMOTHY 3:1-5.

Today, in the lands, Jehovah's Witnesses obey Jesus' commands to preach the good news of God's Kingdom. In fact, the blogs you are reading is designed to help you learn more about that Kingdom and what it will accomplish. On page 2 of each issue of The Watchtower, you will find this comment:  "This magazine . . . comforts people with the good news that God's Kingdom, which is a real government in heaven, will soon bring an end to all wickedness and transform the earth into  a paradise. It promotes faith in Jesus Christ, who died so that we might gain everlasting life and who is now ruling as King of God's Kingdom.

Granted, right now you might still hear of terrorist attacks or natural disasters, or you may experience a personal tragedy.  But a study of the Bible will convince you that God has not left mankind. On the contrary, "He is not far from each of us." (Acts 17:27) And his promise to restore what our original parents lost will succeed. - ISAIAH 55:11.
