Full of the Knowledge of the LORD

WORLD AT PEACE

Yesterday we looked at a world without war that is coming with the return of Jesus Christ.  It will be a world at peace.  Even the nature of animals will be changed so that no one is hurt by any deadly things.  There will be no more poisonous snakes and reptiles; no more man eating animals.  The entire earth and the seas will be filled with the knowledge of God.  Once again, the Bible paints a vivid structure of the foundational precepts that will govern all life and conduct; both human and animal.  When we read these few details, we need to meditate and pray about the glimpse that God’s WORD gives us and then allow the Holy Ghost to inspire and expand our thoughts.

Isaiah 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

Isaiah 11:9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

DECEPTIONS AND MISCONCEPTIONS

Hollywood has done a great job at making eternal life as an undesirable place to be.  They depict God living in some stark white nothingness; trillions of miles away.  From cartoons top major motion pictures; God is not depicted as a real or believable being.  Of course this is all part of the devil’s deception and misconception.  An enemy that can convince the entire world that he doesn’t exist and that God doesn’t exist is free to work his destructive plan for man.  The most educated usually reject God’s existence and any life hereafter.  Our American government was once built on trust in God.  Now it denies God and has done everything to destroy the underpinnings of our forefather’s who came to this land to further the Kingdom of God.  The Mayflower compact was a contract between the passengers that they were all on the journey for this sole cause.  Look it up on the internet and read it if you have never done so.  We started out as a God fearing nation that upheld moral values as taught in the Holy Scriptures, the WORD of God.

GOD’S NATURAL WORLD RESTORED

Until you read the Bible cover to cover, Genesis through Revelation, you are not equipped to see into the mind of God.  He is the same yesterday, today and forever.  When you read about how life was to be in the Promised Land; you will gain insights into how life will be in the Kingdom of God.  The Bible, plus your first hand experience of the natural world, plus what you have learned from videos, books and school; will help you understand that God loves to create.  He instilled that desire in all of us.  God’s creation is a self sufficient biosphere that is set up to be self sufficient and enduring; symbiotic, meaning how the natural world works together.

The fall of man in the Garden of Eden, changed everything.  Eden was a perfect paradise.  The outside world was the opposite.  It was punishment for disobedience.  Man has been given his time to rule himself under his own knowledge of Good and Evil.  At the return of Jesus Christ, a new era will begin.  It will last for a thousand years, untouched by evil and is referred to by theologians as the millennium.  The devil will be chained.  No deception or misconception for a 1,000 years.

Revelation 20:1-3 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.  (2)  And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,  (3)  And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

RESTORATION AND RECYCLING OF RECOURSES

Restoration of the nuclear family will be the first order of business.  God intended only fruitful unions that allow Him to bless a couple with children.  Marriage between one man and one woman will be established as the only form of marriage.  As the WORD, God; Jesus Christ, spoke all things into existence; He could return and by instant fiat change our polluted planet into a paradise on par with the Garden of Eden.  But , as we parents know; we can not fix all of our children’s problems and save them from all hurt; they would not learn anything!  Man will have to spend the thousand years cleaning up the planet earth and learning how to live in within the knowledge of God.  Cities will have to be torn down and the land returned to its original beauty.  Farmland will have to be replenished over time with proper farming methods that will put back into the land all of the minerals that plants need to grow nutritious foods.  All hybrids will be destroyed and forests will have to be replanted.  The rain forest will be restored and the air once again will be pure and oxygen enriched.

NO MORE TAXES

It seems that the only purpose for man’s government is to tax the people in order to build cities, industrial centers and roadways that have separated the family and have been used to fuel war.  God intended for people to live within their families and close to their relatives.  The Promise Land was divided up to keep Tribes, clans and families together.  There will not be a need for taxes.  People will tithe of the increase of their livestock and fields.  God will richly increase those who embrace giving, as He does today.

Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

People will help one another.  It will be a world built upon love and giving, full of the knowledge of God.  You won’t want to miss it.  But you will have to be right with God to be there.  Now is the time to turn to God.  Now is the time to seek the LORD while He may be found.  The great tribulation precedes this millennial paradise.  You need to believe and be baptized before that happens.
