When we review today's world, we wonder whether it will survive or not. We are threatened with global pandemic, with wars and rumors of wars, record weather disasters, and political and criminal oppression. When the bad news stresses us, many millions seek escapism through illicit drugs, alcohol, and entertainment.
Many seek a better life through virtual reality. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines virtual reality as: The metaverse platforms are very popular. One can vicariously choose to travel to exotic places or strive to experience unachievable goals and dreams through the metaverse. The New York Times reported this example: My friends, do you want a life "unfettered by the bounds of reality"? We cannot escape our financial obligations, or employment and family responsibilities.
Nor can we escape the real world in which we live day after day. But we can seek the amazing real world to come. That world will be a glorious world of peace, guaranteed by the ruler of that coming Kingdom, the Messiah, Jesus Christ.

Virtual reality and its many platforms, including various metaverses, avoid the awesome reality of the coming King of kings and a new world of peace and prosperity.
Wired magazine featured "The Future of Reality" and presented an argument that: "We're Already Living in the Metaverse" (December 2021 and January 2022). The author, Cecelia D'Anastasio, states: "Virtual reality companies say you'll get there [to an "empyrean, transcendent, immersive, 3D"] through VR headsets, while augmented reality companies say you'll wear AR smart goggles.
And with boyish enthusiasm for science fiction fueling their piety, these preachers are calling this vision the metaverse, after Neal Stephenson's 1992 dystopian novel Snow Crash." Will AR, augmented reality, smart goggles and VR headsets help you experience true reality? The Wall Street Journal featured an article on the metaverse's mental toll.
Expressing concern that the virtual realm will affect our emotional health, Rachel Kowart, research director at Take This, a nonprofit focused on mental health in the video gaming community, emphasized this: My friends, the real abundant life you can live, comes not through video gaming, virtual reality, or augmented reality. It comes from the reality of truth. Your Bible makes this positive claim. The coming King of the kingdom stated this in John 8:32...
The Lord prayed the night before His crucifixion... Yes, the word of God, written in your Bible, is truth. Jesus Christ also stated... The coming Kingdom of God will give that opportunity to all peoples and all nations. Thank God for His loving government that will ensure world peace for all nations. The amazing real world to come will have a universal system of laws to ensure godly liberty and freedom. Notice that in Micah 4:2... Jesus Christ will rebuke war-like nations and peoples.
Weapons of war will be turned into instruments of peace and productivity. Some of you may have seen the sculpture outside of the United Nations in New York, depicting a man beating a sword into a plowshare. Imagine how the world will be transformed from destructive ways to productive ways. Micah 4:3...
"He shall judge between many peoples, and rebuke strong nations afar off; they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore." Who will assist Christ in ruling the nations? The Apostle Peter asked Jesus what their responsibilities would be. Matthew 19:28... Who else will assist Christ in governing the world?
In the inspiring free booklet we're offering today, Dr. Roderick Meredith writes this concerning "Organization of God's Kingdom": Yes, Abraham is "heir of the world." And we will participate in this future if we are truly Christian. As it tells us in Galatians the third chapter... Not only will Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob be rulers in the coming Kingdom, but so will ancient King David. God will unite the house of Judah and the house of Israel into one nation.
And who will rule over them in God's coming Kingdom? Ezekiel 37:24... Ancient King David was a man after God's own heart, as it tells us in Acts 13:22. King David ruled over the combined kingdoms of Israel and Judah, and will have that responsibility in God's coming Kingdom. What form of education will God institute in His Kingdom?
We'll answer that question in the next part of our program, but let me give you one more opportunity to order this vital study guide, The World Ahead: What Will It Be Like?

TWTV.ORG/AHEAD--or you can write to us at one of our regional addresses. This clear and straight-forward resource will help you understand this vital truth-- straight from the pages of the Bible. Call now! Or go to... On today's program, we've seen that millions seek to escape reality and truth. We've seen that there are engineers and businessmen who are using their knowledge to provide that escape.
New technologies are making it possible to create metaverses, virtual worlds, that offer participants a false reality. The prophet Daniel was told that knowledge would increase in the latter days. We see incredible advances in many forms of technology. Daniel 12:4... We can now understand amazing details in the micro-atomic world on the one hand and the expanding universe with its two trillion galaxies on the other.
But we also know that scientific knowledge has produced nuclear weapons of mass destruction, and now powerful laser weapons. We have knowledge to destroy all human life on earth. Yes, engineers and businessmen are, more than ever before, able to offer their customers an escape into a false version of reality. As part of that escape, our Western nations are increasingly rejecting God and the Bible. And so, the prophecy of Hosea is coming to pass before our very eyes. Hosea 4:6...
But a time is coming when millions and billions in the Kingdom of God will not learn the way to destruction, but the way of God. If you have a Bible, turn to the awesome prophecy for knowledge of true education. Isaiah 2, starting with verse 3... Under the coming Kingdom of God, technology will be used for peaceful purposes.
Can you imagine if today's massive military expenditures were used for peaceful production rather than the production of hypersonic missiles and powerful armies, navies, air forces, and space warfare? But how can humans transform from their natural way of lust, greed, and war, to the way of peace, service, and love? The answer is in the change of heart and mind. The Messiah, the Prince of Peace, will judge among the nations. They will learn to repent of their evil and carnal nature.
The prophet Ezekiel gives an example of the future survivors from the Great Tribulation. Ezekiel 36:24... Yes, God will give them a humble and teachable heart. A heart that will learn the very love of God. As it tells us in 1 John 5:3... In the coming Kingdom, families will take responsibility for teaching their children. In the free study resource we are offering today, Dr. Meredith comments on "True Education Begins at Home."
He states: Yes, a time is coming when parents and teachers will be united in teaching their children the ways of God. Parents will no longer worry that their children are learning wrong values in their schools. And, my friends, if you will become a faithful member of God's Kingdom and family, you also may serve to bring truth to the world. The prophet Isaiah gives us a vision of this wonderful time of true education... The whole world will learn the way to peace and true values.
You need to seek that coming Kingdom. Jesus stated our very purpose and goal in life... My friends, God has called faithful Christians to inherit the Kingdom. What will their role be in the coming Kingdom? We'll answer that question in the conclusion of our program. But first, be sure to request today's free study resource The World Ahead: What Will It Be Like?

The good news of God's coming Kingdom also reveals the role faithful Christians will have in the world ahead. Will we be floating on clouds all day? Listen to this powerful promise in Revelation 5:9, called the song of the saints... Yes, my friends, true Christians will be serving all nations as kings and priests, assisting the King of kings in re-educating the world to the way of true love, peace, and prosperity.
Revelation 20 also describes the role of faithful Christians during the Millennium, the thousand year reign of Christ on the earth. Revelation 20:4... [That is, genuine Christians.] [Speaking of the White Throne Judgment.] My friends, you can have part in God's Kingdom. God is calling people to Christ from all nations to be in His Kingdom. That one world government is coming soon. You need to prepare for it. Study your Bible. Visualize the transformed world under the King of kings.
This amazing world ahead, the glorious Kingdom of God on earth, will produce beauty and productivity the world has never known. God has blessed the earth with awesome, majestic mountains, fertile valleys, and productive plains. We marvel at the pristine lakes and churning oceans. We appreciate the variety of flowers, plant life, birds, animals and sea life. Even the very nature of animals will change. Isaiah gives us this Millennial vision. Isaiah 11:6...
"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play by the cobra's hole, and the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper's den.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea." An amazing new world is coming soon. You need to pray, "Your Kingdom come." You need to be watching the prophetic trends and signs heralding Christ's return.
