THE "NEW EARTH".
For the "new earth"
to function harmoniously and effectively, certain things barring the way to a
new and better life must be removed and destroyed, while others may instead
require wise readjustment. (Isaiah 65:17 25). The following points are some of
the more important issues that must be given immediate attention:
|
(1) |
UNACCEPTABLE PRACTICES THAT MUST BE
TERMINATED:
The exercise of
demonic authority by members of the political "wild beast",
their defenders (police and military forces) and their worshippers.
(Rev 13:4-8 &
16). |
(2) |
The
sectarian worship and trade of spiritistic "Babylon the great".
(Rev 18:1-8. 16:19). |
(3) |
"Driving
others to work" by the rod of slavery and oppression. (Isaiah 14:3-7). |
(4) |
Worthless,
injurious and destructive activities. (Isaiah 29:20,21
NEB).
|
(5) |
HAZARDOUS AND DAMAGING SUBSTANCES AND
ACTIVITIES:
All that is damaging to
mankind, to the natural world, to the earth, air and water must be removed
and/or destroyed. (Rev 11:18. 16:17). Dangerous substances and pollutants that
were once produced by industrial or chemical processes must be removed and
destroyed. All wasteful and unnecessary consumption of earth's resources must
stop. All dangerous machinery and vehicles, such as aircraft, spacecraft, and
military hardware must be scrapped. Petrol and diesel vehicles must gradually be
phased out and replaced with safer and slower modes of transportation, such as
electric vehicles travelling at much lower maximum speeds (e.g. 20 mph), and
should include electronic sensing systems to prevent any kind of collision.

EXISTING AND NEW BUILDINGS:
Buildings and works that
are in any way hazardous, of inferior design or construction, unsightly or
inadequate must be demolished. All new buildings, public or domestic must be
wisely sited and constructed in the best interests of the public. Domestic
buildings must be constructed with single storeys, flat roofs, and roof parapets
for public safety. (Deut 22:8).
Tabernacles of God are to be
designed for safe public use. All buildings, effigies, altars, poles, pillars,
obelisks and memorial structures to other gods must be destroyed. (Deut
7:5,6).
|
(7) |
FOODS:
Only those foods that
are deemed acceptable according to the Holy Word of God are
permitted
for human consumption.
(Lev 11:1-47. Isaiah 66:15-17).
|
(8) |
ARDUOUS
LABOUR, DEMOLITION AND REBUILDING:
This is only to be
carried out by healthy people particularly chosen from among those remaining
over who did war against spiritual "Jerusalem". (Zech 14:16
NEB.
Isaiah 14:1,2).
|
|
SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE TO BE
TAUGHT AT THE FESTIVALS OF BOOTHS.
Inhabitants of the
"new earth" will not live with the spirit of this world among them.
(1 John 2:15 17 NEB).
Therefore, in accordance with the Will of God, people of each nation must go up
to celebrate the Festivals of Booths. Otherwise, the scourge will occur upon
them. (Zech 14:12) (Zech 14:16-21). The remaining matters shall be dealt with at these Holy festivals.
16/5/89.
