what "job" would you want in the new system?


Recommended Posts

I know we probably won't have job jobs, but I imagine we'll have stuff we'll be doing other than building our  houses and cultivating our gardens.
Idk if this is a proper job, but when meeting the resurrected, if they don't mind, I'd love to write down their stories and piece together the causes and effects that led from one person's life to another.

 

Like, for example: Micheal Anderson in 1820, built a bank on High Street, and that was the first job of John Barnes, leading him to have the funds to build a cafe where Henry Wilson and Mary Williams met, in 1900, who, later, got married and started a family. I love stuff like that. I think it would be interesting, too, to archive the solutions to historical mysteries: "This is the chronicle of what actually happened to the Roanoke settlement..."

I honestly suspect that we will have work assignments for the first 100 years or so until the earth is completely restored. We won't be building 'paneled houses' like the Jews did when they were supposed to be restoring Jerusalem. 

 

Then I suspect we will have preaching and teaching assignments for next 400years or so until everyone on the earth has an opportunity to choose what they will do. 

 

In the meantime, I honestly suspect there will be a strong infrastructure so the restoration work can progress. I suspect we will have sewer treatment, water treatment, gasoline production, road repairs, electrical generation, food production and distribution. At least for the first couple of hundred years until the restoration work reaches a point that we can explore other options. 

 

The Nehemiah video was a good reminder to me that the restoration work will progress rapidly, but we will still be doing all the work.

 

I really don't care what assignment I get during the restoration project or where I'm told to live. I don't care where I'm sent for the resurrection preaching and teaching phase.

 

After that, I'll probably make toilet paper...😁

I hope that the restoration work includes oceanography, I hope to be assigned to underwater study and remediation. I'd like to continue to do underwater research after the restoration is completed.

Already when I was a kid I wanted to be an architect 🖊 ❤️

 

Since I won't be able to design my own football stadiums (soccer arenas) in the new world, perhaps I can draw houses and places for assembling Jehovah's people together.

i want to be a travel writer.. about earthly things. Space is too far away for me.

 

I want to be a combination Rick Steves/ Anthony Bourdain- meet people, take pictures & video, eat the foods and write their stories. It's a nifty job for a single person, I think 😊

I'd also love to write movie scripts in the new world if we'll still stick to audio-visual means.

Many options! I have flirted with the idea of working in a hydropower plant.

 

Of course, owning my own armada of space ships is also tempting  :infatuated:   :praying:  ... but less realistic

I’d love to create games, board games, computer games, vr games.. if God allows it. 

I bet VR could be pushed really far by perfect humans. But then again would their be any point to play them when we could just be out roaming the new world instead.

Yeah youre right! But then we might not yet be able to travel to the far universe. We might even want to play angels in Vr

I've considered space travel via vr and unmanned ships could be a possibility.

It would solve the issues of feeding, hydration,and the health effects of lower gravity and radiation.
