When God's Will is Done on Earth




* There will be genuine peace, not just the absence of war.

Psalm 46:8,9
"Come, you people, behold the activities of Jehovah,
How he has set astonishing events on the earth.
He is making wars to cease to the extremity of the earth.
The bow he breaks apart and does cut the spear in pieces;
The wagons he burns in the fire."


Psalm 37:11
"But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth,
And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace."



 All will have an abundance of food.

Psalm 72:16
"There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth;  on the top of the mountains there will be an overflow."

 Perfect health will prevail.

Isaiah 33:24
"No resident will say, 'I am sick.'"


 Everyone will have a comfortable home.

Isaiah 65:21,22
"They will certainly build houses and have occupancy; and they will certainly plant vineyards and eat [their] fruitage. 22 They will not build and someone else have occupancy; they will not plant and someone else do the eating."

*  All forms of suffering will end.

Revelation 21:3,4
"With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them.  And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
