After Armageddon, a Paradise Earth; Continued

PLENTY OF GOOD THINGS FOR ALL TO EAT

"Jehovah of armies will certainly make for all the peoples . . .a banquet of well-oiled dishes, a banquet of wine kept on the dregs, of well-oiled dishes filled with marrow." - ISAIAH 25:6

"There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth, on top of the mountains there will be an overflow." The earth itself will certainly give its produce; God, our God, will bless us." -  PSALM72:16; 67:6.

Surely you want to live on the paradise earth like the garden in which Adam and Eve  was created.  (Genesis 2:8; Luke 23:43) Think of it-no more war, crime, or violence. You will able to walk anywhere  at any time of the day or night without fear of being harmed.  The wicked simply will no longer be. - PSALM 37:35-38.

This means that there will be no dishonest politicians and greedy business leaders to oppress the people.  Nor will people be burdened with high taxes to pay for military weapons. Never again will anyone be without good food and comfortable housing because cannot afford them.  Unemployment, inflation and high prices will be no more.  The troubles that cause suffering to families today will no longer exist. All will have pleasant work to do, and hey will able to see and enjoy the results of their labors.

First of all, those who survive the Armageddon will have the work of cleaning up the earth and clearing away the ruins of the old system. ( Note: Excuse me! I have seen nothing in the Bible that even hints at that. What it says is Jehovah will restore paradise, not that others will cleaning it up.) And then they have the privilege, under the direction of the Kingdom rule, of cultivating the earth and making a beautiful place in which to live.  (Note: Again, it says nothing about  that, just that Jehovah will turn it again into a paradise. He did it without anyone before, unless he made the angels first and then they helped, but it says nothing about that either. The jury is still out on that one. And I saw no verse that mentions that particular matter either.) What a happy work that will be! God will bless everything that is done. He will provide the right kind of climate to grow crops and raise livestock, and he will see to it that these are protected from disease and harm.

Note: I am not saying that cleaning up the earth is a bad thing, just that it is not mentioned in the Bible, just that we will enjoy work and doesn't say anything about cleaning it up to do so.  We will be perfect with new bodies, so  if we do have to clean it up, we will not mind. I just have not seen anything in the Bible about the cleaning of it.  Jehovah can perform miracles and he can make a paradise as he did for Adam and Eve.  He said himself, He can do what he what to do when he want to do it anytime he wants to it etc. I just take some of the information I read with a grain of salt until I see what happens for real. I am a person who usually believes it when I see or have to do it.
