My Utopian society would include
suitable housing for everyone
designed specifically to fit the needs of its inhabitants
(Isa 65:21-23).
There will be no need for wheelchair ramps
because here, good health will abound.
Here no resident will say, “I am sick.”
Instead their bodies will be healthy and sound (Isa 33:24).
There will be no famine.
No families wondering where their next meal will come from.
No children going to bed hungry.
Instead there will be plenty of food for EVERYONE
because deserts will blossom as the saffron (Isa. 35:1; Ps. 72:16).
Along with plenty of food,
there will be clean, clear water to drink
both physically and spiritually
and best of all, it’s FREE! (Rev. 22:17)
In addition to the wonderful things I’ve already mentioned
there are other things too I want share.
If you will try to imagine please.
There will be true and lasting peace
for every race, tribe, tongue, and nation
when they beat their swords into plowshares
(Isa. 2:4b; Ps 37:11; Ps 72:7).
Then peace will flow continuously
like the waves of the sea (Isa. 48:17,18).
This peace will be extended to include both man
and the animals, too.
Picture this in your mind’s eye if you can.
A wolf down with a little lamb.
Or putting your hand upon the den of a poisonous snake.
Yet you do not suffer a deadly fate (Isa 11:6-9; Isa. 65:25).
Natural disasters that shatter lives of the people in their path,
these too will be a thing of the past
(Matt. 8:24-26; Mark 4:37-39; Lu. 8:24).
There are even more benefits if you can believe.
Close your eyes and think for a moment please.
Of ALL of the loved ones you’ve lost in death
in the distant past or even more recently.
Some due to illness,
others without warning,
leaving a void, an emptiness no one else can fill.
How nice it would be to see them again,
no longer weak and frail,
but happy and healthy, truly perfect,
just as they were meant to be (Jo. 5:28,29; Ac. 24:15).
Not in heaven, but right here on Earth (Matt. 5:5).
I know to many these things seem like a fantasy,
but I believe every one of them will become a reality,
yes, these things and much more
are coming soon! (Rev. 21:3-5)
If ANYTHING I have said appeals to you,
check out the Good Book and see
for yourself that these things are true.
These promises are made for the benefit of ALL mankind.
These are REAL solutions to the problems
we face every single day.
They are brought about by God’s Kingdom.
For which Jesus taught his followers to pray (Matt. 6:9,10).
They are NOT just words on a page.
How can I be SO sure of what I’m saying?
Because Ps. 145:16 gives the assurance,
“God [WILL open] HIS hand and satisfy
the desire of EVERY living thing!”
