Your Future - How Can It Be Known


If we knew what was going to happen in the future it would effect what we do now would it not?

So how can we know the future?
Should we look into a glass ball?
Or perhaps have our palm read?
Maybe go to a seer?

No!
If we want to know our future we must look in Jehovah God's direction.
He and He alone knows and tells us what it to happen in the near future.
Only His Word, the Bible, can tell us.
And, we need to benefit from what we learn now!
Isaiah 48:17+18 This is what Jehovah has said, your Repurchaser, the Holy One of Israel: “I, Jehovah, am your God, the One teaching you to benefit yourself, the One causing you to tread in the way in which you should walk. Oh if only you would actually pay attention to my commandments

Why did Jehovah give Daniel the dream and the interpretation of King Nebuchadnezzar?
It was because Daniel was a loyal and faithful servant.
Knowledge belongs to Jehovah God and He alone chooses to whom He will give understanding to.
Daniel 2:19-21 Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision at night. So Daniel praised the God of heaven. Daniel declared: “Let the name of God be praised for all eternity, For wisdom and mightiness are his alone. He changes times and seasons, Removes kings and sets up kings, Gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those with discernment

Happily, He has chosen to reveal it to His Chosen People in these 'final part of days.'
Daniel 2:27+28 Daniel replied to the king: “None of the wise men, conjurers, magic-practicing priests, or astrologers are able to tell the king the secret that he is asking but there is a God in the heavens who is a Revealer of secrets, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what is to happen in the final part of the days. This is your dream, and these are the visions of your head as you lay on your bed:

Nebuchadnezzar could rightly be called the 'head of gold' because he represented the Babylonian government of the day.
Daniel 2:31+32a “You, O king, were watching, and you saw an immense image. That image, which was huge and extremely bright, was standing in front of you, and its appearance was terrifying. The head of that image was of fine gold,

The image represented all the world powers that have directly effected God's Chosen people, i.e., Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome & The Anglo-American Alliance.
At one time 1/4 of the entire earth was under British control and the Anglo-American Alliance has effectively foisted their ideas and ideologies onto the nations of the world, although, their power has been and is being undermined from within and without and this is weakening their 'iron-like' grip on the world.
Daniel 2:32b its chest and its arms were of silver, its abdomen and its thighs were of copper, its legs were of iron, and its feet were partly of iron and partly of clay.

Wonderfully, God's Kingdom is to fill and rule the whole of humankind on earth for all eternity. God will never again have to endure the slandering of His great name or any challenge to His sovereignty.
Daniel 2:34+35  You looked on until a stone was cut out, not by hands, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and of clay and crushed them. At that time the iron, the clay, the copper, the silver, and the gold were, all together, crushed and became like the chaff from the summer threshing floor, and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a large mountain, and it filled the whole earth.
Daniel 2:44+45 “In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it alone will stand forever, just as you saw that out of the mountain a stone was cut not by hands, and that it crushed the iron, the copper, the clay, the silver, and the gold. The Grand God has made known to the king what will happen in the future. The dream is true, and its interpretation is trustworthy.”

What will it be like under the Kingdom rulership?
One language; - God's People already speak the universal language of love but in the future we will speak one God given language so there will be no barriers to communication.
Unified mankind; - all loving and worshipping the One, True, Living God, Jehovah.
Abundant food supplies; - the earth will blossom and become a paradise just as God originally intended.
No hatred; - satan's influence will be gone.
Happy homes; - we will not have to build and work for other people as slaves or for wages.
Perfect health. - perfect eyesight - no more glasses or contact lenses or blindness, perfect hearing - no more hearing aids or implants, strong legs- no more limps or walkers or canes or crutches, strong hips - no more backache or sciatica or curvatures, etc.

More wonderfully, we will live with the knowledge of the true God.
With The Christ as King of God's Kingdom we will live as if in His presence.
Will we ever 'see' God literally?
Revelations 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 people. And God himself will be with them

No. God cannot live inside His creation. He is far too powerful. We would not survive it.
What this verse means is that we will all 'know Him' in that we will all have learned from Him by His Word and revelation.
God's 'tent' represents His protection and loving rule.
John 1:18 No man has seen God at any time; the only-begotten god who is at the Father’s side is the one who has explained Him.

We can be so burdened by the problems that this world presents and by our imperfections that it can be hard to look ahead to our world being ruled by Jesus as God's King but God wants us to make it on the 'narrow road' to the new world.
John 3:16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten , so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life

Just see yourself, just see me too;
Just see us all in a world that is new.
Think how you'll feel, how it will be,
To live in peace, to be truly free.
No evil one will then prevail;
Rule by our God cannot ever fail.
The time will have come for a new earthly start,
The song of our praises will pour out from our heart:

Now see yourself, and see me too;
And look ahead to a world that is new.
No sight we see, no sound we hear,
Will cause alarm or give rise to fear.
All has come true, just as He said;
Now over mankind His tent is spread.
He now shall awaken those sleeping in death;
Their voices will join us with every grateful breath:

Jehovah our God, how well you have done!
All things are new by the rule of your .
The fullness of our heart overflows in our song;
All glory and honor and praise to you belong.

We need to look ahead.
God has shown us the future.
It is no mystery.
The precedence will have been set and God's name will have been vindicated.
There will be no satan influence ever again!

Imagine if you will,....no death notices.
Maybe instead......resurrection notices.
Miracles galore every day as loved ones and peoples' of all the world's ages are resurrected to have the chance of learning about Jehovah God and His love.
Miracles galore as the earth is restored to the paradise that God always purposed for us!
Wow!
With God's Kingdom Government Seat in Heaven, with the members of that Government being superhuman in their powers and abilities to carry out God's purpose.....we can only guess and poorly imagine how God will restore and clean up the earth but thinking on it truly helps us to keep on the 'narrow road'.

Unhappily, most people don't even know that God has a purpose for the earth and for mankind which is one of the reason that professing the Good News is not just important but now urgent.

God's purpose hasn't changed.
From the beginning of His creation He has wanted us to live in a paradise and have endless, happy and fulfilling life.
True, His purpose had to be amended after the devastating sin perpetrated in Eden but, never-the-less, His purpose has not changed.

He purposes that all loyal humankind will live in happiness in harmony with Him.

You too can know and be a part of the future.
Benefit yourself and learn the Truth of the Scriptures which will bring a measure of happiness and certain joy now and a wonderful, blessed future shared with a loving, caring, joyous, united family of Jehovah God's Chosen People.

Love Katidid.
