The Good Lite
Let's momentarily peer into the good

cated the world over.
"The time wiU come when tbere
will be such abundance of crops, that
the harvest time will scarcely end
before the farmer starls again to sow
another crop, and the terraces of
grapes upon the hills of Israel will
drip sweet wine!
I
will restore the
fortunes of my people Israel, and
they shall rebuild their ruined cities,
and live in them again, and they shall
plant vineyards and gardens and eat
their crops and drink their wine.
1
will firmly plant them thcre upon lhe
land thal 1 have given them; they
shall not be pulled up again" (Amos
9:13- 15,
The Living Bib/e).
" .. . T he wilderness of Lebanon
will be a fruitful field again, a lush
and fertile forest" (Isa. 29:17,
The
Living Bib/e).
"Even the wilderness
and desert will rejoice in those days;
tbe desert will blossom with flowers.
Yes, there will be an abundance of
flowers and singing and joy! The des-
erts will become as green as tbe Leb–
anon mountains, as lovely as Mount
Carmel's pastu res and Sharon 's
meadows.... Springs will bursl
forth in lhe wilderness, and streams
in the desert. Tbe parched ground
will become a pool, with springs of
water in the lhirsty land" (lsa. 35: 1-
2, 6-7,
The Living Bible).
"They shall come home and sing
songs of joy upon the hills of Zion,
and shall be radiant over the good–
ness of the Lord-the good crops, the
wheat and lhe wine and the oil, and
the healthy flocks and herds. T heir
life shall be like a watered garden,
and all their sorrows shall be gone"
(J er. 31:12,
The Living Bib/e).

True Knowledge Encirc les the Earth
Describing lhe utopian effect this
priceless knowledge will have on
those who hear and
heed
it, lsaiah
writes: " For as the rain cometh
down, a nd the snow from heaven, and
returneth not thither, but watereth
lhe earth, and maketh it bring forth
and bud, that it may give seed lo tbe
sower, and bread to the eater: so shall
my word be thal goeth forth out of my
mouth: it sball not return unto me void,
bul it shall accomplish that which
l
please, and it shall prosper in the thing
whereto
l
sent it. For you shall go out
with joy, and be lead for th wilh peace:
the mounta ins and the hills sha ll break
forth before you into singing, and a ll
the trees of the field shaU clap their
hands. l nstead ofthe thorn shall come
up the fir tree, and instead of the brier
shall come up the myrtle tree ... "
( lsa. 55: 10-13).
The time will come that every hu–
man being on earth will hear the good
news and begin to know thc true God.
"And they shall teaeh no more every
man his neighbour, a nd every man bis
brother, saying, Know the Lord: for
lhey sha/1 al/ know me,
from lhe least
of lhem unto the greatest of them,
saith the Lord ... " (J er. 31 :34).
" ... For the earth shall be fu ll of the
knowledge of the Lord, as t he waters
coverthesea" ( Jsa. 11 :9).
A Righteous Ruler
What really good news! Once the
whole human race has been educated
in the ways o f God, there wi ll be
peace and abundance for everyone on
earth at last. Christ's rule will bring
to the entire earth the
welcome,
fresb
smell of spring. "Let the field be joy–
fu l, a nd a ll that is therein : then shall
the trees of the wood rejoice before
the Lord ... for he cometh to judge
the eartb" ( Ps. 96:12, 13).
As David said in his "last words'':
"The Rock of Israel said to
me:
'One
shall come who rules righteously, who
rules in the fea r of God. He shall be as
the light of the morning; a cloudless
sunrise when the tender grass springs
forth upon thc earth; as sunshine after
rain'" (TI Sam. 23:3-4,
The Living
Bible). Are
