From the biblical point of view, we have reason to be optimistic.
God promises a utopian world of lasting peace and prosperity, governed by the rule of law (Isaiah 2:1-4; Micah 4:1-3). Obedience to God's law will become universal, embracing all continents—including Africa, whose sufferings will become a thing of the past, long forgotten by its happy citizenry. This is part of the gospel—the good news—Jesus brought.
You can learn much more by requesting the free booklets The Gospel of the Kingdom, The Ten Commandments and Making Life Work. They will help you understand and experience the benefits of being a law—abiding person in the midst of a world that all too often rejects law and authority.
