Angels and Women (1924)

APPENDIX 267
Kingdom is now due to be set up on earth, and all the
gladsome prophecies are about to be fulfilled:
"The devil, through his earthly representatives,
has taught the people that the masses will spend eternity
alive, not in happiness, but in torment. This is a
false doctrine. Those that refuse to obey the Lord
will he destroyed. ’All the wicked will he destroy.’
(Psalm 145:20) The obedient ones shall be restored
to perfection of body, of mind and heart, and
dwell together with their loved ones in happiness.
"Many are now blind and deaf and lame and halt.
These deficiencies shall pass away under the righteous
administration of the desirable government. Concerning
this, God’s prophet says: ’The wilderness and the
solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert
shall rejoice and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom
abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the
glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency
of Carmel and Sharon; they shall see the glory of the
Lord, and the excellency of our God. Then
the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the
deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man
leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing.’
(Isaiah 35:1, 2, 5, 6) In order for man to be happy
he must be relieved of sickness, given health, and have
peace. Under the new government these things will
be granted. ’Behold, I will bring it health and cure,
and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them tim
abundance of peace and truth.’---Jeremiah 33:6.
"The people will be so happy under the new order
that they will assemble, not to petition for redress of
their wrongs, but to sing the praises of the new and
righteous government. (Isaiah 51:11; Psalm 148)
The obedient ones shall be restored to the days of
their youth and their flesh shall become fresher than a
child’s.--Job 33:25.
