True Peace

Back to The True Jesus Christ Unknown to Christianity

Human history has been written in the bloody pages of war: “Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths. The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goes therein shall not know peace” (Isa. 59:7-8).

Man invariably seeks to solve his problems through violence and war. Countless battles have been waged to bring peace, yet man has never been able to achieve it for long. But we saw this will soon change: “And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more” (Isa. 2:4).

The instruments of war—battleships, aircraft carriers, fighter jets, strategic bombers, cruise missiles, tanks, nuclear warheads sitting atop ICBM’s, and all such military weapons—will no longer be designed or manufactured. All of what remains will be stripped apart, melted down and converted to machines for peaceful and agricultural uses. The war colleges—such as Annapolis and West Point—will not exist anymore. War, and its ways, tactics, strategies, implementation, will cease to be taught. No more lives lost to war and its lingering negative effects. Never again will young men be drafted into the military, taken from their homes and taught to hate the enemy. Instead, the way of peace, how to achieve and maintain it, will be taught. Rivalries between nations will disappear.

• Peace will finally come to war-torn Israel. Her inhabitants will dwell in safety (Ezek. 28:25-26).

• From Israel and Jerusalem peace will spread to the entire world. All nations will look to Israel for guidance (Mic. 4:1-4).

• The Law of love, which produces peace, will be placed in the hearts and minds of earth’s inhabitants (Heb. 8:10-11).

A Pure Language

The world is divided by an endless number of languages and dialects, which create a huge barrier to right communication. But not for much longer. Notice: “For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve Him with one consent” (Zeph. 3:9).

The multitude of today’s corrupted languages, with all their variations, dialects and differences, will be relegated to history. Problems between nations and peoples resulting from miscommunication and misunderstanding will be gone. Artificial international barriers will disappear, as will miseducation and illiteracy. All will learn both the spoken and written pure language.

No longer will there be a word that can be pronounced multiple ways and with different meanings, which leads to communication problems. Slang, vulgar words and euphemisms will not exist. With one pure language, all peoples will serve and worship God with one voice, in one accord.

True Religion and Right Education

Satan, who “deceives the whole world” (Rev. 12:9), will have been bound and put away: “And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, and cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more…” (Rev. 20:1-3).

With the devil no longer able to influence mankind, mass re-education can begin. Man will learn that there is both right and wrong education. True and false religion. Physical and spiritual knowledge. All of the wrong knowledge will be stripped away. Humanity will come to understand that the devil has been the true founder of man’s educational systems and religions.

All will be taught that they have been eating from the “tree of the knowledge of good and evil,” which has been the source of troubles. The world’s false explanation for the origin of man—evolution—will be debunked, shown to be heretical science, and that instead of evolving to a higher order, man has become more degenerate and debased through his 6,000 years of self-rule.

The Bible will become the foundation of all education. God will be Supreme Educator. People will be taught how to live, not just how to earn a living. They will learn that the way to peace, prosperity, happiness and abundance comes only from divine revelation.

Again, Jerusalem, the future seat of God’s government on earth, will set the standard: “And many people shall go and say, Come you, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem” (Isa. 2:3).

Eventually—but this will not happen immediately—“the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea” (Isa. 11:9).

• People will be taught to fear, have reverence for and respect God—the starting point of true knowledge (Prov. 1:7).

• Their teachers will be ever-present, giving guidance and instruction in God’s ways (Isa. 30:20-21).

• The knowledge of God’s Way will be known by all peoples on earth (Hab. 2:14).

• Egypt and Assyria will serve God (Isa. 19:21-25).

• Ethiopia will too (Psa. 68:31)!

• The whole earth will keep God’s Sabbaths and Feasts—week to week, year to year (Isa. 66:22-23; Zech. 14:16-21).

New Nature in Mankind

Since the Garden of Eden, man has taken the nature of his chosen teacher: the devil. Since he listened to Satan—rejecting revealed knowledge from His Creator, and the opportunity to understand spiritual matters by taking of the Tree of Life, symbolizing the Holy Spirit—a mind was formed in man that was purely physical—carnal: “For they [all mankind] that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh…For to be carnally minded is death…Because the carnal mind is enmity against [the enemy of] God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God” (Rom. 8:5-8).

Thus, having this mind—this nature—it has been impossible for humanity to obey God’s commandments and to love Him.

In the world to come, man’s very nature will be changed from one that is an adversary of God to one that wants to serve, obey and love his Maker. “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit [the Holy Spirit] will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart [a Jeremiah 17:9 heart] out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall keep My judgments, and do them (Ezek. 36:26-27).

• Beginning with Israel, all peoples will know their God. His laws will be put in their minds (Jer. 31:33-34).

• God will give man a new heart. He will give His Spirit to all human beings so they may walk in all His ways. They will be His people and He will be their God (Ezek. 11:19; Joel 2:27-28).
