Glad Tidings in Times of Trouble: The Hope of God’s Coming Kingdom.
In the life to come, those who belong to God will live in peace, joy, and perfect harmony in His presence. Jesus said that the righteous “will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father” (Matthew 13:43). This means that every person who followed Him faithfully will reflect His light, love, and purity. There will be no fear, no sorrow, and no darkness anymore, for all things that once caused pain will pass away. The struggle of this present life will end, and there will be no more work born of survival or suffering. Instead, our labor will be joyful service, filled with meaning and guided by love. In that eternal day, all will serve God with gladness and purpose, and every moment will be filled with peace. Revelation describes this beautiful time by saying, “There shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads” (Revelation 22:3–4). These words reveal the complete restoration of what humanity lost in Eden. The curse that began when Adam and Eve sinned will be gone forever, and mankind will again walk face to face with their Creator, not in fear, but in joy. People will not live without purpose; they will live with holy purpose, serving in love, caring for God’s creation, rejoicing with one another, and sharing in His eternal glory. Life will be as it was meant to be from the beginning — peaceful, beautiful, and full of meaning.
In these troubling times, as we see wars, deceit, and suffering increase, many hearts grow heavy, and people begin to wonder if we are approaching the time of tribulation that Jesus spoke of. Yet even in these fearful days, the Word of God gives hope. Jesus told His followers, “When these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near” (Luke 21:28). He did not tell us to be afraid, but to be ready and full of hope, because what is coming after the darkness is a new dawn that will never end. The final purpose of all that happens in this world is not destruction, but renewal. The Lord is preparing the earth and His people for the day when all things will be made new.
The prophets long ago saw this promise and wrote of it with joy. Isaiah said, “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former shall not be remembered or come to mind… The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, the lion shall eat straw like the ox; they shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, says the Lord” (Isaiah 65:17, 25). This vision reminds us that even the natural world will be healed. The violence, hunger, and fear we see today will be gone. All creation will live in peace again, as it did in Eden when animals and humans lived side by side without harm. God will restore the harmony that sin broke.
Ezekiel also spoke of this peace: “I will make a covenant of peace with them, and cause wild beasts to cease from the land; and they will dwell safely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. I will make them and the places all around My hill a blessing” (Ezekiel 34:25–26). This was how Adam and Eve lived before sin — in a world where every creature lived without fear, where the land gave fruit freely, and where God’s voice was near. What was lost will be returned, but even more glorious than before, for now it will never be lost again.
In Genesis we read that God placed Adam in the garden “to tend and keep it” (Genesis 2:15). This work was not hard or painful; it was joyful care and cooperation with God’s creation. After sin, labor became filled with pain and resistance, as the ground was cursed (Genesis 3:17–19). But the promise in Revelation that “there shall be no more curse” (Revelation 22:3) means that one day all frustration, decay, and sorrow will end. Mankind will again live in a world where every work brings joy, every sound brings peace, and every heart is pure.
Jesus Himself promised this restoration. He said, “In the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory… everyone who has left houses or family for My name’s sake shall inherit everlasting life” (Matthew 19:28–29). The word “regeneration” means the rebirth of all creation — a new beginning for heaven and earth. It means the world will not be destroyed forever but renewed and filled with life. Those who stood faithful through trials will enter that everlasting joy, and the pain of the present time will seem like a passing shadow compared to the light of the world to come.
So in these times of fear and confusion, we must remember that God has not abandoned the world. He is allowing the shaking so that what is eternal may remain. Jesus said, “See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet” (Matthew 24:6). This means that the world must go through its pains, but they are birth pains — signs that something new is about to be born. And what is being born is not destruction but the Kingdom of God, where righteousness, peace, and joy will reign forever.
Let our hearts therefore not be afraid. The same God who walked with Adam in the garden will again walk with His people. The same hands that shaped the first man from the dust will wipe every tear from our eyes. The same voice that said, “Let there be light,” will fill all creation with eternal light that never fades. In that day, no one will remember war, disease, or death. There will be no night, no hunger, no fear. “God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying… for the former things have passed away” (Revelation 21:4).
So even as the world grows darker, let us hold fast to the light. The promise of the Lord stands firm: those who endure and keep faith will live forever in His peace. The garden will return, the curse will end, and the children of God will live in His presence forever. This is our hope, our comfort, and our destiny — to walk once again with our Creator, in joy that no one can take away, in a world made new by His love.
