In the beginning, God created all humans to have a peaceful and everlasting life. Here is how God wanted our future to be. We are going to answer this question, What does the future hold?
Genesis 1:28 (KJV), “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”
God blessed Adam and Eve commanding them to be fruitful and to multiply, and to spread out across the globe and to fill the earth with their offspring.
Adam and Eve were authorised to rule over the works of God’s hands for God had put all rule and authority under the feet of His representative.
But Adam and Eve did not do what God asked them to do, they disobeyed God and He collected the power to rule. Right from their disobedient time all man started to suffer.
Does it means that God plan for future has ended when Adam and Eve disobeyed him? NO. Below are God’s plan for the future.
What does the future hold ?
At one time or another everyone has wondered what lies ahead in the near future. Will things be good, not so good, or not at all good?
A great change is to occur in the future. The world governments and their supporting organizations will be removed during the Tribulation and Armageddon. This will be replaced by a totally beneficial, incorruptible, fair and just government out of heaven.
Revelation 21:1–4 (KJV), ” And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”
What does this revelation mean?
It means that we have a more general account of the happiness of the church of God in the future state, by which it seems most safe to understand the heavenly state.
But this promise in Revelation 21:4 is trustworthy and full of hope that this world is passing and the next one is nothing like it.
