Can You Imagine a World?
Can you imagine a world
where litter on the side of the road is a rarity?
Can you imagine a world
where all famous actors and musicians are good role models for our children?
A world where people can
debate and seek truth while putting self aside, rather than descending into personal
insults and racial slurs?
Where fast food restaurants
don’t need to hide napkins, ketchup packets and the key to the restroom behind
the counter?
Where abusive drug use is
practically unheard of?
Where people are interested
in serving other people the best they can with their talents and skills?
Where you can mistakenly
leave a valuable possession on the sidewalk, come back the next day and it’s
still there?
Where a policeman cannot
ticket you if he is also guilty of doing the same thing?
Where judges are held
responsible for the actions of convicted criminals that they release from
prison early?
Where science and technology
excel, unhindered by false theories and propaganda?
Where proper stewardship of
the planet and ecology is taught rather than politicians using false science as
a guise to get support for tyrannical legislation that people would otherwise reject?
Can you imagine a world
where politicians sought to serve others rather than empower themselves?
Where citizens were educated
and principled about right and wrong and did not tolerate corrupt politicians?
Where money is gold and no
one can make money out of thin air, loan it at interest, inflate the currency
supply and then seize the property of the unfortunate players in the game of “Musical
Chairs” since the interest to pay back their loan was never created?
Can you imagine a world of
abundance rather than scarcity?
A world
with no unemployment?
A world without
war because justice and righteousness flow like a river?
Where you are not numbered,
tracked and monitored by control hungry government?
Where the government serves
and protects our rights, rather than seeking more power and trying to protect
itself from us?
Where you can travel on a
plane without being searched?
Where you are innocent until
proven guilty?
Can you imagine calves and
lions lying down together and children leading them?
Then you can imagine a world
where Jesus Christ is King of kings and Lord of lords!
Revelation 20:1-6
1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the
bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the
Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
3 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, till the thousand
years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given
unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of
Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither
his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their
hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years
were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection:
on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of
Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Isaiah 2:1-5
1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah
and Jerusalem.
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of
the LORD's house shall be established in the top of
the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow
unto it.
3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, 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.
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many
people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into
pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us
walk in the light of the LORD.
Isaiah 11:1-9
1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a
Branch shall grow out of his roots:
2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of
wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of
knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD:
and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the
hearing of his ears:
4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with
equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of
his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and
faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie
down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
and a little child shall lead them.
7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie
down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the
weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
9 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.
Isaiah 9:6,7
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The
Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end,
upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish
it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of
the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Daniel 2:44
44 And in the days of these kings shall the
God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom
shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all
these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
Jeremiah 3:17
17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD;
and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to
Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil
heart.
Zechariah 14:9
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall
there be one LORD, and his name one.
