Brethren, we have a role to preach the gospel of the kingdom of God. That's our mission. In a sense, that's our mission statement individually. As we live through our lives, as we practice and we live and are example to others, we are preaching the good news of a future world.
But what is the kingdom of God? He is the kingdom of God, the millennium. And what will be the wonderful world tomorrow? Well, the kingdom of God is not the millennium. The millennium will be as if it will be our first job description, our first major task, as rulers and the Christ in the kingdom of God.
But that's only the first job description. The millennium will run nearly for a thousand years, nearly. Wow! Imagine all eternity, how beautiful it will be and what will be beyond even that. Because the kingdom of God is eternal. It rules now in heaven, but it will be established and will rule on earth under Jesus Christ, the kingdom of kings, the Lord of lords, the Saviour of saviours.
We will rule with Him under Him, as we can clearly read from Revelation 5 verse 10. We don't have to turn there, but it says we'll rule with Him initially for a thousand years. But after that, we'll rule eternally. Do you remember the prophecy of Daniel?
When Daniel was presented in Toronto, King Nebuchadnezzar, and King Nebuchadnezzar had this vision, this dream, that he didn't want to tell anybody what the dream was, because it was so awesome. And he said, all the magicians are going to die if they are not able to tell me what the dream was. And then Daniel said, there is a God, and He will tell the king what the dream was and its meaning. And at the end of that dream, there is a stone shaped by no human hand that hits the feet of that statue.
And that statue, which represents the Gentile kingdoms of this world that have been ruling the world since Israel went into captivity. That statue, those kingdoms of this world, will be destroyed. And the new kingdom will be established on earth. And as it clearly says, they will run and will be run forever, and the sites of the eternal will rule there. So we will rule under Christ, initially, for a thousand years, but thereafter, for long eternity. And so that first millennium will be the first assignment, let's call it that. That the family of God, as resurrected family of God, the spirit beings, will have their first task, their first job description.
And so it is important for us to understand what that world will be like, which will have a responsibility to help under Christ, shadow and mold. And so it is good to try to visualize what that wonderful world tomorrow will be like, so that you and I have that hope that can give us the bold faith, as we heard in the sermon, to move forward through these hard days ahead, these sad days ahead that we're going to have seen.
But those will be over. And beyond that, it will be a wonderful world tomorrow, so that you and I can pray with boldness. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, as we should pray and say, Amen. If we have that vision, we will be able to pray daily for thy kingdom to come with hope. You know, I talk to a lot of people, and sometimes I get some people that say, Oh, if I just had a little bit more time, we could convert some more people before Christ comes.
And in fact, I even had one person ask me, Am I being anti-Christ, if I would want Christ to come a little later, so that some of my friends would come into the church? Now, the attitude of the heart is good. But there's a misunderstanding, is that we think we will solve the world's problems. We think that we can convert other people. We think that we can save a few more people. But you know what?
You and I need to understand that the Savior is Christ. And it's only Christ that is going to save this world of its next, not you and I. We have the opportunity to help him, but he is the Savior. We'll be the Savior under the ring, but he is the Savior. We'll be kings under the ring, but he is the King.
He is the Lord. And so, Jesus Christ will save the world's problems, not you and I individually. Jesus Christ will convert the world, not you and I individually. Jesus Christ will save all people, not you and I individually. That's why we need to pray, Thy kingdom come. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory. And that's what we want to look at in a little bit more detail today. When Jesus Christ comes, He will sort this world up. And like at the end of the book of Revelation, closing verses says, Christ said, I'm coming quickly, and we must say, come, Lord, come quickly.
Because this world is in advance, and the sooner it comes, the better for everybody. The better for everybody.
And so, besides bringing a perfect government, and giving the world perfect education, and people then becoming obedient to God, because of that, they'll receive wonderful blessings. So let's look in Leviticus 26, when he talks about those blessings. Leviticus 26. And we'll start reading in verse 1. Because in Leviticus 26, verse 1 says, You shall not make idols for yourselves.
Neither a coffee-image nor a sacred pillar shall you rear up for yourselves. Nor shall you set up any great stone in your land to bow down to it. It was, don't make pictures, don't make things to bow down to Him, to worship to them.
It does not mean that you can't have little things around, pretty things around, and say, No! But it does not mean that you can't have family pictures around, because you're not worshiping them. What it means is don't have things to worship to them. That's what it's talking about. So don't have idols to worship to them. And then it says, And you shall keep my Sabbaths. Interesting, that's a plural. So it's not just a weekly Sabbath, but the annual Sabbath as well. And reference my sanctuary. I am the Lord. And now look at verse 3.
If, if you walk in my statues and keep my commandments and perform them, then, and look at how it outpours the blessings that will follow from it.
And basically, it's got the blessings here, in the way I see it, in three major areas.
The first one is verse 4 and 5, which is rain starts by saying rain in new season.
And the second one is starts in verse 6, 7 and 8, which is, I'll give you peace in the land.
And the third area of major blessings is, I'll look, starting in verse 9 through 13, says, I'll look on you favorably and make you fruitful.
Now, we're going to look at those three types of blessings, in those three groups of blessings that we will see in the wonderful world tomorrow.
So let's start by reading verse 4 and 5, the first major grouping of blessings, as we've seen that, under verse 4 and 5, says, And I'll give you rain in each season.
Don't you know how beautiful it is to have rain in each season?
Now, we've had, as Mr. Dwayne Phelps mentioned during the sermon, we've had some lovely rain this year. And look at the fields. I just lush, the beautiful, the green.
Compare that to last year, where we do not have that rain in each season. What a difference! What a difference! Now, imagine the whole world having rain in each season.
Now, as it is we're having, in this area of the land, we've had beautiful rain. But in other areas of the country, we have not. It's not been so. It's been cursed either with terrible tomatoes or cyclones or winds or fires. It's just, imagine the whole country being blessed like that. But not just the whole country in the whole world. Blessed with rain in each season.
What does it mean? That means we're going to have healthy food. For one, we don't have to go and buy from the supermarket food that came from miles and miles and miles away. Because you get the fresh food right nearby, where it's matured and ripened right there near you, so that you can eat that food and fruit fresh.
You know, brethren, when I go to Brazil, they get a lot of fresh pineapple, for instance, papaya. Brethren, they are the most delicious pineapples. They're so juicy and they're so sweet. And you think of pineapple as a little bit bitter sometimes. And they're so juicy, they just about melt in your mouth.
And the papaya is just completely different. I don't enjoy the papaya buying shops today. It tastes like plastic. It really tastes like plastic.
Brethren, the whole world will have healthy food like that. So the outcome of that is not just good food, it's health. We'll be healthy because we have healthy food.
So God can change the weather patterns. That's the last thing to go after. He can change the weather patterns. And he says, I'll give you rain and the land shall ye yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. Your freshings shall last until the time of the vintage. That means you're taking the grain off the stock there and you're taking it and you're freshings.
And you still are not finished. Now you've got the vintage of the grapes. Now you've got the fruit. Now you can't finish that job because you've got all the fruit coming out. You've got almost the fruit. And now you're not having finished picking up all the fruit. And now it's time to pluck again. You know, because it's just so fruitful.
This is, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. The freshings shall last until the time of the vintage, and the vintage shall last until the time of sowing. And you shall eat your bread to the poor and dwell in your land safely. Do you know why sometimes you eat and you're still hungry? And you eat and next thing you're still hungry. And therefore you end up putting away because the food is not fully, is not nourishing, is not healthy. Imagine that food, it's just you eat it and you satisfy it. You food. You'll be healthy. You'll be healthy. River, let's look at another example in Isaiah 41 of this place.
And start reading in verse 14.
Isaiah 41 verse 14. Fear not, you warm jacket, you men of Israel, I will help you, says the Lord, and you redeem me the holy one of Israel. Behold, I'll make you into a new freshings that sledge with a shop team and shall fresh the mountains and make them small.
Now this is dual. But I understand what dual means because it's opposite physical, but it's also spiritual. Spiritual meaning that being proud, arrogant nations which represent mountains, they will be humbled. And the small nations which are more humble will be lifted up. So it's dual meaning, spiritual and physical. But it says, then beat them small and make the heels latch off and you shall winnow them and the wind shall carry them away.
And the wool wind will scatter them and you shall rejoice in the Lord and the glory of the holy one of Israel. The poor and the needy seek water, but there is none. That's what's happening today. The times fail for first. Either Lord will hear them and either God of Israel will not forsake them. And I will open rivers in desolate heights and fountains in the midst of valleys. So the mountains will be leveled up. They'll be more like contoured country, like the sea and the Kentucky area, more like leveled country. So you can have more land to plant and more healthy weather and more water. Water all over the place. You see, because there it is, I will open rivers in the desolate heights. So where there is a place, there is a tall place, there will be little fountains of water coming out down those hills, cascading down the hills. And fountains in the midst of the valleys. Even in the valleys there will be fountains, water cascading out like geysers and things of water coming out from the ground. I'll make the wilderness a pool of water. There will be water everywhere. Now think about it. If you reduce the mountains and the valleys are not as deep, it's not just over the land surface, it's also over the sea. So that means there will not be those deep valleys in the deep oceans, they will be squashed down.
So that means there will be more water all over the earth, and there will be fresh water, not salt water.
So the whole landscape of the land will change considerably. Now, yes, before the coming of Christ, all these things will happen, so there will be some really difficult times. But you and I have to ask the hope that water will be beyond, which will be a wonderful world tomorrow. So it says, I will make the wilderness a pool of water and the dry lands springs of water. I'll plant in the wilderness the cedar and the Cachet Tree, the Myrtle and the oil tree in the wilderness. So I think of inside Africa, the Namibia Desert, and in North Africa we've got the Sahara Desert. Those things will be gone. In Colorado, dry areas will be gone, will be full of trees and olive trees and Cachet trees and animals living there and good food and what beautiful. And it says, and they'll come and see and know and consider and stand together that the hand of the Eternal has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created Jesus Christ's hand. He's been involved in it and He's done it, and people will know that the Savior of the world, which is Christ, has done it. So it will be wonderful. It will be wonderful. Imagine all this. Read a bit more, just a few chapters back in Isaiah 35, verse 1 and 2. The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose. Imagine the desert will be so beautiful like a beautiful rose blossoming with its beautiful colors. So you can see some beautiful roses of different colors. It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it. The excellent Carmel and Sharon shall see the glory of the Lord, the excellency of our God. You see, God's kingdom, and it is power, and the glory is to God. That's why we pray, for Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory.
Because we will see this, and it will be glorious. Continue in verse 6, in the second half of verse 6. We will read the other sections later. But it says, For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert. The botched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water.
In the habitation of jackals where each lay, there shall be grass with greens and rushes. That will be wonderful, where land will just be prosperous and full of health coming out of the land. Just wonderful.
Turn also to Isaiah 11, verse 15. Just briefly there, 11 verse 15. It says, And the Lord shall utterly destroy the tongue of the sea of Egypt. The sea of Egypt. So, the sea of Egypt, that red sea, will destroy that. And what it will mean? It will be more water spread out over other areas of the country.
With this mighty wind, it will shake his thirst over the river and strike it in the seven streams and make men cross over the dry shore. And that's obviously talking about the second Exodus. But imagine that what it says is that the landscape will change, that people with these big rivers, they'll be able to walk through.
They'll be able to walk through. And the water will be pure and clean, and you'll be able to drink the water from the river. It's not polluted and filthy. You go to the Ohio River, and you go there and look at that water and say, well, let me go and drink some water. You look at it and see logs, and the water is brown. You would not even want to touch it. And you want this out. It'll be clean. It'll be pure.
Turn also to Isaiah 33. Isaiah 33 verse 21. Isaiah 33 verse 21. And it says 33-21. But then the majestic Lord will be for us a place of broad rivers and streams. The rivers will be broad, will be wide, but not deep.
You see, broad rivers and streams in which no galley with all will sail. You know, those deep ships will not be able to go there because the rivers will be shallow, hot rivers. And people will be able to walk across and swim and have fun in them. No majestic ship.
For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our logine, but the Lord is our king. He will save us. He will save the world from his problems and will change the soul. Let's take a look at verse 24. And the inappetent will not say, I am sick.
Why? Because we're getting healthy food. We'll get healthy food. The food will be healthy. And the people, one, get sick.
Obviously, God will yield to. We know that God will yield. We know that Christ took our infirmities and he buy stripes and yields us. So they will be healing. But there's our part in eating good food and healthy food. And that food will be healthy and good. The air will be clean. There will be no pollution. No water pollution. No air pollution. What beautiful.
The health will spring. The people will not say, I am sick. People will just be healthy and well.
The people well in it will be forgiven their iniquity. And they will want to live God's way. And they will want to live in this new way.
Look at Isaiah 35 verse 3 to 6. That's the section I skipped a little early on. It says, strengthen the weak hands and make further people's needs.
Say to those who are fearful-hearted, be strong, do not fear. Be all your God will come with vengeance. With recompense of God, He will come and save you. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened. And the ears of the deaf shall be unstoppable. Then the lamb shall leap like a deer. And the tongue of the downward sing. God will heal. Now again, remember, these are dual. So it's just not physical, but it's spiritual. Which means, spiritual means they will see the truth. They are not blinded, they see the truth. They can hear the truth. They understand the truth. And they'll be able to say, speak the truth as well. So it's physical and spiritual.
And continue in verse 7, the parts of the ground shall become upon that section of the railroad. So you can see how beautiful God will be. He'll restore health and plenty on the earth. Look at another scripture in Jeremiah 13, verse 17. Jeremiah 13, 3-0, verse 17. Just verse 17-19. Jeremiah 13. It says, For I'll restore health to you, and heal you of your wounds, says the Lord, because they call you an ad-cof saying, This is I, and the one six-air. And in verse 18, We all, I'll bring back the captivity of Jacob's tents, and at mercy on his dwelling places. The city shall be built upon its mark, and the palace shall remain according to its own plain, and then, other of them shall proceedogunate, thanksgiving. And the voice of those who might marry, I'll multiplied them, and they shall not diminish. I'll glorify them, and they shall not be small. In other words, God will bless the people. So, just this Principle of the blessing of rainy new season, it has so many different implications that come from it, which is health, which is just people being happy in having good, healthy food and the physical and spiritual implications of it. Also in Jeremiah 31, verse 12, Jeremiah 31, verse 12 through 14, says, Therefore, they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, streaming to the goodness of the Lord, for wheat and the new wine and oil. Today, the conversation is in Manninghouse Oaks, well, wheat is not good for you. Yeah, it's not good for you today because of the damage that you know will be healthy to eat, that you'll be able to eat and not get sick from it. To eat a new wine and oil. For the young of the flock and the herd, their souls shall be like a well-watered garden, and they shall sorrow no more at all.
Brethren, do we want to pray, not keep and come? Of course we do. The sooner it comes, the better. Because the longer it waits, the biggerness we make. The biggerness we make. So we pray for this day, for Christ, to come and to come soon. Then the virgin will rejoice in the dance and the young man and the altogether. For I'll turn their morning to joy and I'll comfort them and I'll make them rejoice rather than sorrow.
I will satiate the soul of the priests of abundance and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, says the eternal. What a wonderful time it could be. Let's go back to Leviticus 26. Because that's only the first grouping of blessings. And in Leviticus 26, reading now in verse 6, it reads the second page of blessing. It says, I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid.
I will rid the land of evil beasts, and the sword will not go throughout your land. I'll chase your enemies. And there will be peace. There will be peace. There will be no more war. There will be no more war. What a wonderful thing. We just turn to Isaiah 2. Isaiah 2. And let's look at the implications of having no war. In Isaiah 2, verse 1 through 4. Isaiah 2, verse 1 through 4.
And the word of Isaiah, the son of Amor, so concerning Judah and Jerusalem. Now it shall come to pass in the latter days. Yes, that's in the water market. That the mountain of the Lord's house, that's the kingdom of God, will be established on top of all the other nations. On top of all the other mountains, on top of all the other nations. The kingdom of God will rule supreme over America, over England, over Japan, over Brazil, over Germany, over all the countries. And shall be exalted upon the hills, even the little countries like Mexico, Venezuela, and others.
Which nowadays, those small countries think they're big, you know? But God will, under God's government, will be peace. And all nations shall flow to it. All nations. So it's not just for the Israelites. All nations will come and want to learn from that central headquarters of the kingdom of God, to be established around in Jerusalem, with the kings under Jesus Christ.
They all will run to it, to learn its ways. Many people shall come and say, come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord. That's where the kingdom of God is, to the house of the God of Jacob. And He will teach us His ways. And we shall walk in His paths. As we heard in the Psalm, God's Word is our path, is the light to our ways. And that's what it will be. And everybody will listen to it. For out of Zion shall go forth the Lord, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He shall judge between the nations and rebuke many people. And He shall beat, and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, their spears into pruning-hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation. Neither shall they go to military academies anymore. Well, they shall not learn war anymore. And that's what it will be. It will be wonderful. It will be wonderful. So no more. Now, imagine. As you get all the nations, what's one of the things that cause the nations to go apart?
Remember, they wanted to build the Tower of Babel. And when they wanted to build the Tower of Babel, God said, Imagine what they can do. Turn with me to Genesis 11. Genesis 11. Genesis 11, verse 1. Genesis 11, verse 1.
Now, the whole earth had one language. That word in Hebrew also means one lip. So sometimes that word may be translated in other verses as having one lip. But it's the same word, it means one language. So it means one language and one speech. And then, looking in verse 6, And the Lord said, Indeed, the people are one. The people are united. They are one. They are united. And they all have one language. And this is what they begin to do. Now, it's amazing when people, they all talk one language, like, for instance, English has become more of a universal language.
How much knowledge can be passed around from different nations, and therefore, how much development has grown because of one language. The United States became a grand country, one of the reasons, because we have one language. That one language helps to unify people. But God was saying, now look at what the people are beginning to do. Now, nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. You see, if you have one language, and God's given us a brain power and capability to do a lot of things, people, all the people using all the brain power, will be able to communicate amongst themselves, and have in an evil heart.
Because they would have uncovered it. They would think of evil things. And so, what could God do? Verse 7, Come, let us, that's God speaking, let us, Elohim, plural, go down, and therefore confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. And so the Lord scattered them abroad from there, over the face of all the earth, and they seized, building this city. And this place called Bible, there the Lord confused the language of all the earth, and from there the Lord scattered them abroad, over the face of all the earth, and created different nations, different nationalities, different languages, and things like that.
But, imagine, when the people are seeking God, and when they all are converted, they want to do the right thing, as we saw in the scripture, they come, they want to come to Zayah, to the mountain of the Lord, and they'll want to learn the right thing, and they want to live the right thing, their hearts will become clean. Then what will God do? Read with me in Zephaniah chapter 3 verse 9. Zephaniah chapter 3 verse 9.
For then I'll restore to the people a pure language, a pure language. The word there is the same word as in Genesis 11 that we read about the language. But some Bible is translated as a little. But it's a pure language. It's the same word as in Genesis 11. But that they all may call on the name of the Lord to serve thee with one accord. Again, it's always dual. So think about the duality.
It's one language. The people have a universal pure clean language. But you know what will they have also? Universal pure clean Bible. One word. With a Bible translation, whatever is written, and you read it, and what is written there, it's what was the original manuscript intent. No mistranslations. It will be perfect so that they may all call upon the name of the Lord to serve thee with one accord. It's dual. The Bible is a lot of meaning and a lot of duality, and it is very encouraging. I'm looking at the legal background.
And so, brethren, what will God be able to achieve with mankind when they all get together with one language because God said with one language nothing will they will be able to not do. Well, imagine mankind with one language and the right spirit, what they will be able to achieve. What they will be able to achieve with mankind will be able to achieve. And so there will be peace. And that peace with that one language with the right spirit, at such a risk, you and I cannot even begin to comprehend what advances we'll be able to do to the world together, working in a God's direction.
And so let's go and look at the third page of missing, which is Leviticus 26. Leviticus 26. Leviticus 26. In verse 9 through 13. For I will look upon you, on you favorably, and make you fruitful. Multiply you and confirm my covenant with you. You shall eat of the old harvest and clear out the old because of the new.
I will set up my tabernacle among you and my soul shall not abhor you. I'll walk among you and be your God and you shall be my people. I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves. I've broken the hands of your yoke and made you walk upright.
In other words, to offer these blessings, people be fruitful. And being fruitful, they will not be slaves. What does that mean? For one, you'll have a lot of children. What does it mean? Do you mean that light is the level of children? Now, today it's hard for some lighties, really, to have children. If some light is outward, it will be a tough time.
But wasn't that a curse during the... when Adam and Eve sinned? And God will somehow release that from the lighties. And the lighties will have children. The wounds will not be stopped. And the children will be healthy. And the people will multiply. God can do that. Can't He? Nothing is impossible. For He is the power and the glory. Also, there will be no abortion.
And no abortion, no killing of children, no killing of our inheritance. And you know what? When you have children, in a sense, you have a retirement. You see, if you die and you never have children, you have nobody to look after you. But if you have children and peace, they're facing a home, and home is together and there's unity, you have that prosperity that goes with it.
That prosperity goes with it, and the production of it. You are not slaves. And you know, people today are slaves in this world. They work 24 hours a day, nearly. And they work to death, and they gotta work! Otherwise, they're slaves to this society. But people will be fruitful, and therefore they won't be slaves. They'll be liberated, and they'll be joyous, and they'll be happy. Let's look at that in Ezekiel chapter 36. Ezekiel chapter 36. Verse 9, we're going to read first in verse 9. Ezekiel 36, verse 9.
For indeed, I am for you, and I'll turn to you, and you shall be told and sung. I'll multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, all of it, and the city shall be inhabited, and the ruins will be built. I'll multiply upon you a man and beast, and they shall increase and be young, and will make you inhabited as in the former times, and do better for you than at your beginnings. And then you'll know that I am the Lord. Yes, I'll cause men to walk on you, my people Israel. They shall take possession of you, and you shall be very narratives. No more shall you believe them of children. No more shall you lose your children. No more shall you have abortions and things like that.
And then continuing verse 26, I'll give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. So God will change that mind. So people are together with the new heart, new spirit, God's spirit. The heart of stone is removed, and they've got a heart of flesh. Verse 27, I'll put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you'll keep my judgments and do them.
Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers. You shall be my people, and I'll be your God. I'll deliver you from all your cleanliness. I'll call you for the brain and multiply it. I'll bring no famine upon you. You can see how beautiful people will be blessed. Look at it a bit further down in verse 33. Vast as the Lord God, on the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I'll also enable you to dwell in the cities, and the ruins shall be rebuilt. The desolate land shall be told instead of lying desolate in the sight of all the crossfire. So there shall say, this land that was desolate has become like the Garden of Eden. The land will be like the Garden of Eden. Yes, there will still be cities, but the land, everything will be beautiful. The world will become like a Garden of Eden. The whole world will become a Garden of Eden. The whole world will be a paradise! That is your first and our first job description in a wonderful world tomorrow as reigning under Christ, to help him make the world a paradise.
That's our job description, to make the world a paradise. Then the nations which are left all around you shall know that I, the Lord, every bolt that ruined places and planted was the Islet, I, the Lord, have spoken it, and I'll do it. So all the other nations who know the true God, and they all come to worship the true God, back to where the kingdom of God in what its are. And look at again in Isaiah 19, verse 23-25.
Isaiah 19, verse 23-25. He says, In that day there shall be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Syrians will come into Egypt and the Egyptians into Assyria, and the Egyptians will serve the Syrians. And that's not to death. I mean, even the Egyptians can't even work with themselves. You can see the problems they have. So it will be wonderful. In that day Israel shall be one of three, with Egypt and Assyria a blessing in the midst of the land, whom the Lord of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed is Egypt, my people.
Blessed is Egypt, God's people. And Assyria, the work of my hands, and Israel, my inheritance. You see, it's not just for the Israelites. It's not just for the Jews. It's for the whole world. The whole world will become a garden of Eden. And the whole finances will be very different.
The difference is, all the gold is God's, and there's plenty of gold out there, and it is a redeemer, and it will redeem the whole land. How? How will we do that? Turn with me to Leviticus 25. Leviticus 25. We'll start in verse 1. Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard and get its fruit.
But in the seventh year there shall be a land, a Sabbath of solemn rest for the land. The land will have a land sabbath around the whole world. It will be a land sabbath. What grows of its own accord? Of your harvest you shall not reap. No, grant her the grapes of your untended wine, for it is a yield raising the land. So the crops will fall, and the animals maybe will eat it, or whatever, but that's it. You're not going to go out and reap. It will just be there, you know.
Help strengthen the land, and give the land a break, and will kind of become self-manuring in that sense, and build it up. And the sabbath, verse 6, and the Sabbath produce of the land shall be food for you. Your male and female servants, your hired men, who strangely dwells in you, for your livestock and the beaks that are near your land, all its produce shall be for food. As it grows, it just comes, you pick it up, and you just eat it.
You don't have to sell it. You don't have harvest. You don't have... So it will be beautiful. And then it says, and you shall count seven sabbaths of years for yourself. Seven times seven years. Seven times seven years. And the time of seven sabbaths of years shall be you 49 years. Then it shall cause the trumpet of Jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the month, on the day of the tournament.
You shall make the trumpet to sound throughout all the land. And it shall consecrate to 50th year, and proclaim the liberty of the land. So what happens? And the people will get back their position. So if you sold land, and you sold the property, the property will come back to you. At the end of 50 years, you'll get the property back. So what it means is from a financial point of view, financial will be very different.
Because at the end of every 70 years, you release the bet, and at the end of 50 years, you release the land back to its original armors. So it eliminates the bubble, financial bubbles that you see in the stock markets and all these other things. Things will be very different. Gold will go back to Jerusalem, will be used, will be available, and things will just be completely different. Looking at Deuteronomy 15.
Deuteronomy 15, verse 1 and 2. At the end of every seven years, you shall grant a release of debts. And this is strong, and this is the form of release. Every creditor who has lent you anything to his neighbor shall release it. He shall not require it, or of his neighbor, or his brother, because it's called the Lord's release. So if you lent money in the end of seven years, if you haven't got it back, it's gone. That's it, you release it. You see? So that's what it will be.
A year of release. Now, the carnal mind immediately starts thinking, ha ha, I'm going to get around this. You know, that's a carnal mind, I'm going to get around this. Well, if that's the case, whatever, then I'm going to plant things around it. Well, it handles that in verse 7. Yeah, it is. If there is amongst you a poor man of your brethren within any of your gates in your land, which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart, nor shut your hand from your poor brother.
And continue in verse 8, but you shall open your hand, why, to him and willingly lay the insufficient for his need, whatever he needs. Even if it is the sixth year and you know the seventh year, you're going to lose it. Beware, lest there be a wicked thought in your heart, aha, that carnal mind, that wicked thought in your heart, say, aha, the seventh year the old release is at hand, because today is the sixth year, and your eye be evil against your poor brother, and you give him nothing. And he cry out to the Lord against you, and he'll become sin against you. You shall surely give to him, and your heart should not be grieved when you give to him. Because of this thing, the Lord your God will bless you in all new works, and in all to which you put your hands. If not to have that carnal mind, say, oh, I don't want to give it to him that he's asking, because it's the sixth year, you just give and God will bless you. You see, the human spirit lasts to envy. You see, our spirit, our carnal mind lasts to every... it just wants more. That's what we're reading, James. Look with me in James chapter 4. James chapter 4 verse 4 and 5.
James chapter 4 verse 4 and 5. It says, "...adulters and the out-arresters, do you not know that friendship with the world is enamony with God? Whoever wants to be a friend of the world makes himself the enemy of God.
Or do you think that the scripture says in vain, the spirit who dwells in us yearns jealousy." That spirit is the spirit of man in man. That's the carnal mind. That's not God's spirit. It's the carnal mind, the human spirit, who dwells in us, which is the spirit of man in man, yearns jealousy. We are jealous. We are envious. And we have to change that. We have to change that spirit of God's holy spirit to become like the spirit of God, which is a giving spirit, which is not one which is yearning for jealousy and envy for others. We've got to be like Paul said in 1st Timothy chapter 6. 1st Timothy chapter 6 verse 6 to 8. It says, now God in us with contentment is great guy. You follow God's way and you are content. You're not greedy. Greedy. You're not envious. You're just happy with what you've got. For we brought nothing into this world and it is certain we can carry out nothing. And having food and clothing with these, we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and in a snare and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of many is a root of all kinds of evil. It's not the only root, but it's a root.
And so the spirit in man lasts to envy, but we have to change that. And in God's world, we'll have the land Sabbath. And that land Sabbath will be part of teaching mankind not to be envious, not to have that evil heart and to be able to be giving. And part of giving brings to the whole lore of what's happening today. Mankind. Look at Melachi chapter 3. Melachi chapter 3. Will the man rob God? Yet you've robbed me. Oh, I have robbed God. You say, in what way have we robbed you, God? We have robbed God. And God says, you are cursed with a curse. For you robbed God.
Even the whole nation's robbed God. He says, no, we have robbed God. And God says, we are offering all the tithes into the storehouse. There may be food in my house. And try me now on this, says the Lord, if I will not open the windows of heaven and pour out on you such a blessing. And he says, not enough room. It's simple. And there is God saying, try me. Put me to the test. He does say, not tempt God, but tip God on this. Tip God and says, pay your tithes and see. You'll bless you.
And that requires all faith sometimes. As we heard in the sermon, it requires all faith. But that's what it is. God says, try me. And this nation is breaking these laws. So today, we just have problems. Would the world tomorrow be different? It would be a wonderful world tomorrow.
It will be a wonderful world tomorrow. The world tomorrow will be different.
The world will have a brand new season. Good, healthy food. And that good, healthy food, the people will be healthy. There will be peace. They want to learn the world anymore.
They want to learn the world anymore. And so, people will just be at peace. There will be one language. They'll be prosperous. They will grow. They'll be fruitful. And that fruitfulness, they will have a lot of children, large families. The families will be together, will be united. Therefore, they want to be slaves because if one in the family is struggling or whatever, then the other one helps. And that helping will be within the community. And that's where the third tie will be used within the community there. And to help one another, the brothers and the sisters and all think that the world will be prosperous. Brethren, can you see what our job as rulers and priests in the wonderful world tomorrow will be to educate mankind to live this way? And what joy it will be when we see people do things and people being blessed? Can you see how wonderful it will be? Can you see why does it say, don't look after material things, but seek the kingdom of God first and His righteousness? That's what you and I need to seek. But first, for us, we're going to have the opportunity to betray now. We have the opportunity to betray now.
Today is not the time to convert the world. Today is not the time to convert everybody else. Today is the time for us to prepare ourselves and serve mankind by being an example of the right way and living the right way and showing love and kindness that way, but it's our training ground.
The time to save the world is when the Savior comes. The Savior comes. Jesus Christ is the Savior.
Look with me in Titus 2, verse 13. Titus 2, verse 13.
Looking for the blessed hope and glory's appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
Looking for the glorious Second Coming of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
Christ is the Savior. He is the Savior of mankind. Now, you've probably seen, and you haven't seen on this like this prophetic times.
On this like this prophetic times.
And then look. There's a comment here I want to read to you.
July 7, 2013, wnd.com reported, at this turbulent time in history when many people are looking for answers to their problems, a brand new TV program calling the Islamic prophet Muhammad the Savior of humanity is about to saturate the airwaves of Australia.
What a blasphem calling anybody else the Savior of humanity.
That is blasphemy. It says, tens of thousands of dollars of reported being raised by the Muslim community to fund a series of 30-second commercials to begin airing on the country's biggest network starting July 9th. The ads are produced by...
And it says, you just don't want and just it's a blasphemy.
Christ, I know of a name who man can't be saved. He is the Savior. And he says, by the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus.
He's the Savior. But you know what, brethren? Just like he's the King of kings. He's the Lord of lords. He is the Savior with saviors. Did you know that?
He comes to rule as the King of kings, the Lord of lords. And he's the Savior with saviors. Turn with me to Abadiah chapter 1 verse 21.
Abadiah is a scripture which really gives bad, bad prophecy to Eden.
A real prophecy, a very strong prophecy against Eden.
But then on the last verse, the last verse of Abadiah, there's only one chapter, so chapter 1 verse 21, the last verse, then saviors shall come to Mount Zion. Who are those saviors that will come to Mount Zion to judge the mountains of Esau and the kingdom shall be the Lord's? Who are those saviors that are going to come to judge who will be the resurrected saints and the Christ the Savior? Just like he's the Lord of lords, the King of kings, he's the Savior of saviors. And you and I will have a job to work with him to save mankind. But he's the Savior. We ourselves can do nothing, but under Christ, he will give direction and will say, yes, sir, and we come and do it.
Then with Christ as our Savior and King, and us under him helping him to achieve that, people will learn God's law of love. No one will be deceived. The cycle will have been put away. There will be no more religious confusion.
There will be no more crime, no more sickness, no more disease, no more pain, no more suffering. It's all gone. The wild animals will be tamed. There will be no more water pollution, no more air pollution, no more dirt and puff. The water will be pure, will be fresh, will be drinkable. No more allergies.
Rich soil, no more disease. Beautiful flowers, shrubs and trees. Healthy food, tasty and filling. Radiant, happy human beings. Guided health by former mortals, now made immortal, preparing the world during a period of a thousand years to be an abundant Earth so that we can have the Second Resurrection. And the Earth will be a paradise ready for the Second Resurrection. What a wonderful task, job description you and I will have to ready the world for that environment. Therefore, brethren, next time we pray, pray with all heart, thy kingdom come, for yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory. Amen.
