THE FUTURE

Post #1

Post by onewithhim »

Haven't we all, at one time or another, wondered what the future will be like? Experts of men have had a spotty reputation as most of their predictions have proved untrue.

What does the Bible tell us? "The God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed....It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever." (Daniel 2:44, Revised Standard Version)

Is this good news? Of course, when we realize what God's Kingdom is. It is a real government that will replace all of the existing governments on the earth and stand forever. Stability and order will be brought to people on the earth. What will life be like under this government?

NO MORE WAR (Psalm 46:9)
NO MORE SICKNESS (Isaiah 33:24)
NO MORE FOOD SHORTAGE (Psalm 72:16)
NO MORE PAIN, SORROW AND DEATH (Revelation 21:4)

These are just some of the promises made in the Bible about God's Kingdom, and there are more. God has promised all these wonderful things for the future. All righteously inclined people can avail themselves of these promises. Does this sound good to you?

I would think that this would sound good to everybody. Who wouldn't want to live the life on earth that they are living now only with perfect health and satisfying work to do as well as never ending studying the many things in this universe that interest us?

I'm living this glorious promise today, in this body. I'm living in the Kingdom in spirit today, every day, even before it becomes completely consummated in the future. amen

But won't it be better to be living under the reign of the actual Kingdom government, where there will be no more suffering, no more pain or crying in sadness, no injustice, no more death? Sure, we can enjoy life now with the Kingdom in mind, but the ultimate everlasting life will be the perfect situation for humans.

Yes of course, although I'm expressing my zeal and my spiritual walk for it, today, as if those 4 OT verses you listed were fulfilled today. Yes, immortality awaits me and those living in the Kingdom today, and of those already passed and in the future who are in Christ.

You tell me, where did I made a point concerning where is eternal life today, or in the future and how it would be like? By some inference or deduction I guess from a post of mine, or the last one.

And since I just looked at your OP again, I guess now I know why you might have this inquiry. So do you want me now to make a point on this subject, as it seems to concern you, about where is eternal life 'located?' It seems you do. And I'm still guessing, what might have spurred you on with this train of thought. Is it the connection I made with eternal life and the Kingdom? Sorry, I really do not know you reasoning here...mixed signals..
