0 YOU want to live in peace and happiness?

Do you desire good health and long life for

yourself and your loved ones? Do you long to see

wickedness and suffering end? Every honest-

hearted person wants these things. But today, in

all parts of the earth, violence, crime, hunger and

sickness are increasing. Why is the world so filled

with trouble? What does it all mean? Is there any

sound reason to believe that conditions will really

get better in our lifetime?

'Yes, there is reason for such hope, and it is

clearly set out in a book that is published in more

languages than any other book in the world. That

book is the Bible. It tells us of God's purpose to

set up an entirely new system of things for man-

kind. If you had the power to do so, would you not

bring to an end the conditions that cause so much

sorrow? Of course you would! Should we think

that the Creator of mankind will do any less? The

Bible tells us that "God is love." (1 John 4:s)

Surely this loving heavenly Father knows what

mankind needs. He has the power to fill those

needs, and he will most certainly do so, for Psalm

6 THE TRUTH THAT LEADS TO ETERNAL LIFE

145:16* says of God: "You are opening your hand

and satisfying the desire of every living thing."

See also Deuteronomy 32:4.

'When will God satisfy man's desire for true

peace and happiness, along with lasting health

and life? Must mankind wait for thousands of

years more? No! The time is near at hand! But

how can this be? Conditions in the world are get-

ting worse, not better. True, but the Bible clearly

showed, long in advance, that these very condi-

tions would be proof that we are living in the "last

days" of the present wicked system. (2 Timothy

3:l-5) Soon the loving Creator will bring to their

end both wickedness and those who cause it. But

God will richly bless honest-hearted ones who

want to do what is right, for he promises: "The

world is passing away and so is its desire, but he

that does the will of God remains forever."

-1 John 2:17.

WHAT GOD WILL W FOB

'What a change this earth will experience!

There will be no more war, nor will there be any

of the suffering that war brings. Hatred, selfish-

ness, crime and violence will all be things of the

past. Instead, there will be perfect peace and se-

curity on earth. God's own Word declares: "Just

a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no

mourning nor outcry nor pain be any more. . . .

Look! I am making all things new." (Revelation

21:4, 5)" That is something that no human ruler,

no scientist, no doctor can do; but it is something

that God will do. Is it reasonable that God's only

purpose for man is that he spend twenty years

growing up, perhaps another twenty or thirty

years gaining knowledge and experience, and

shortly thereafter begin to grow old, suffer from

sickness and die? Why should man's life be so

short when even a turtle may live to the age of

two hundred years and a tree may live far longer?

God made man to live, not to die. The Creator

promises that soon it will be possible to enjoy life

everlastingly, right here on earth. (Isaiah 25:8)

With peace-loving neighbors, good health and

satisfying activity to All our lives, what a pleasure

that will be!

more; . . . the meek ones themselves will possess

the earth, and they will indeed lind their exquisite

delight in the abundance of peace." (Psalm 37:10,

GRAND BLESSINGS FROM GOD NEAR AT HAND! 7

between nations, but among neighbors and in

every household. Think what a grand blessing that

could be to you! And how reassuring to know that

the fulfillment of this heartwarming promise does

not depend on men! It is God who will bring it

about. How? By destroying the wicked and by

educating his people in the ways of peace.-Prov-

erbs 2:21, 22; Isaiah 54:13.

"mong the many blessings that people will

enjoy in the new system of God's making is good

health. Even death, which brings much sorrow

to all of us, will be no more. The Creator's promise

is: "And [God] will wipe out every tear from their

eyes, and death will be no more, neither will
