A Hope You Can Trust - Conclusion

 That precious hope calls to mind yet another prophecy recorded during the time of ancient Egypt. Found at Job 33:24, 25, the prophecy states that God will deliver humans even from "the pit," or the grave, by means of a resurrection. Yes, in addition to those spared through the coming destruction of the wicked, many millions now dead will be raised to life with the prospect of everlasting life in Paradise on earth. (Acts 24:15) "The tent of God is with mankind," says Revelation 21:3, 4. "He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore."

Trustworthy history and prophecy-that theme will continue in the next article in this series, which focus on ancient Assyria, the world power that followed Egypt.
