With all the trouble in the world?

Question

don't you wish that you could go to bed and when you wake up, it would be as peaceful as The Garden of Eden... ?

Nice reply Sew

Teddy - it must have been peaceful - they lived alongside the anmals.

Answer 1

Yes and it already is. If I dwelt on all the problems of the world.. the guys in the white coats would be coming after me. You can't change everything but you can help to change what is in front of you. Think about it.

Answer 2

In an ideal world it would be wonderful. We are in an age of great uncertainty about all our futures. Others say their childhood years seem to have been blissfully trouble free. The stress levels today and the greed and threats surrounding us both at home and when abroad will not subside until people get back into family values, community spirit and caring what happens to others whatever their religious beliefs or colour. Today's world is a melting pot of cultures and creeds and it is no benefit to anyone to fight against what is already in place. Accept the facts is all we can do. Everyone is on a treadmill and yearning for more and more possessions. How can we remain tranquil under these circumstances? It's like living on a knife edge wondering what will happen to us next.

Answer 3

This is called death!

I'm a drama queen for now I like having challenges and it gives me purpose in life to think I could have the ability to help someone else. Someday I will wake up in the Garden of Eden- but only after I am tired of this life, I hope.

Answer 4

Absolutely!!!! and actually that is what God promises for our future. At least for the future of his obedient and loving servants...

(Psalm 37:9-11, 29) “. . .For evildoers themselves will be cut off, But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth. 10 And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. 11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.” 29
The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it.”

(Isaiah 25:8) “. . .He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. And the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Jehovah himself has spoken [it].”

(Isaiah 11:6-9) “. . .And the wolf will actually reside for a while with the male lamb, and with the kid the leopard itself will lie down, and the calf and the maned young lion and the well-fed animal all together; and a mere little boy will be leader over them. 7 And the cow and the bear themselves will feed; together their young ones will lie down. And even the lion will eat straw just like the bull. 8 And the sucking child will certainly play upon the hole of the cobra; and upon the light aperture of a poisonous snake will a weaned child actually put his own hand. 9 They will not do any harm or cause any ruin in all my holy mountain; because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters are covering the very sea.”

(Psalm 72:7-8) “. . .In his days the righteous one will sprout, And the abundance of peace until the moon is no more.  8 And he will have subjects from sea to sea And from the River to the ends of the earth.”

(Revelation 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 peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.””

And in order to have a part in this awesome future that the Bible teaches us about, it is vital that we follow the advice that Jesus gave us...

(John 17:3) “. . .This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.. . .”
