The Harp of God

CHAPTER XI
54/225

Men and women will not only grow strong, but they will reach that state in which they will not even fear, think, or expect, to be sick.
[604]With the establishment of the new order under the Messiah wars and revolutions shall cease, because he has promised that then "they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruninghooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more"; and thus there shall be no more restless humanity, symbolically called _sea_ .-- Isaiah 2:4; Micah 4:3; Revelation 21:1.
[605]The profiteers will no longer be permitted to prey upon the people, because God's promise is that under the righteous reign none shall be permitted to injure another nor defraud his neighbor .-- Isaiah 11:9; 65:25.
[606]Then shall famines vanish away and no more shall be hungering for food nor vainly striving for sustenance of life, because then the earth shall yield her increase and there shall be plenty for all .-- Psalm 67:6.
[607]Then shall disease and sickness be destroyed, because God has promised under this new order to bring in health and strength and to bless the people with all favors incident thereto.

"The inhabitant shall not say, I am sick."-- Isaiah 33:24; Revelation 21:4.
[608]Funerals now are the order of the day, and the family and loved ones left behind assemble in sorrow to pay the last tribute to their beloved dead.

But under the new order of things funerals will cease, undertakers will seek a more pleasing employment, and the hearses will be changed from vehicles of sorrow to equipages of pleasure.

"There shall be no more death."-- Rev.21:4.
[609]Families have been torn asunder and each member has borne his or her sorrow until claimed by the grave; but under the new order families will be reunited, parents will be brought back to the children, and children to the parents, and they shall dwell together in happiness .-- 1 Corinthians 15:22,23.
[610]No more will the poor be vainly hunting for a habitation or fleeing from greedy landlords, because then, as God has promised, the people shall 'build houses and live in them; they shall not build for another to live in but then every man shall have his own habitation and every man shall sit under his own vine and fig tree and none shall make them afraid' .-- Isaiah 65:21-23; Micah 4:4.
[611]At that time there will be full liberty to do right, because right will always be encouraged.

Every one will have the liberty to do all the good he can.
