We Can Live Forever - JEHOVAH'S PURPOSE HAS NOT CHANGED

 Jesus taught his followers to pray for God's Kingdom to come and for God's will to take place on earth. (Matthew 6:9, 10) Part if God's purpose is  for humans to live forever on earth. To accomplish that, Jehovah has appointed his Son as King of the Messianic Kingdom.  God has been gathering 144,000 people from the earth to work with Jesus in fulfilling God's will. - REVELATIONS 5:8, 10. 

Jehovah is now drawing together "a great crowd" of people and training them as subjects of his Kingdom.  (Revelations 7:9; James 2:8)  Despite living today in a world divided by fear and war, those making up this group  strive to overcome all national, tribal, and personal hatreds.  They are already symbolically beating their swords into plowshares.  (Micah 4:3) Instead of participating in wars that cause so much death, they are helping people to find "the real life" by teaching them about the true God and his purposes.  (1 Timothy 6:19) Family members may turn against them or they may suffer financially because they support God's Kingdom, but Jehovah makes sure  they have the things that they need.  (Matthew 6:25, 30-33; Luke 18:29, 30) Those facts assures us that God's Kingdom  is reality and that it will continue to fulfill Jehovah's purpose.
