See Yourself When All Is New…

[Thesauron]

 

Can you see the new world with your faith’s eyes? Can you see what you will work with, how will you live. We are awaiting these times, and they are here soon. (Isa 25:17; 2 Pe 3:13; Re 21:1-5) What will you spend your time doing? What do you look forward the most? How do you image your home? Please spend some time with us imagining what it will be like!

Love that picture.  Used in it public talks.  Living near The Broads, I can imagine life in that picture (minus the hills, it's flat around here).

Welcome to JWTalk Brother Steven/Snickers!  

[Friends just call me Ross]

I dream of how amazing it will feel to be free from the stress of daily existence in this septic system of things. 

 

 

I dream of being free from the stress of having to fill out confusing forms of 'red tape paperwork' for insurance companies

and government agencies.

 

I dream of being free from the stress of customer service centers that don't have a human to talk to

and none of the eight options the robot voice gives you have anything to do with the reason for you calling.

 

I dream of being free from the stress of having to cope with phone and email scammers whose only purpose in life is to cause harm to others.

 

I dream of being free from the stress of nearly being killed by insane drivers who speed, text while driving, pass on curves and hills,

and have no regard for any of the other traffic laws designed to save lives, either.  So that you dread having to drive anywhere further

than your local post office, for fear of being killed, maimed or shot by a road rage maniac.

There are many other daily stresses that I dream of being relieved of.   So many, that it may take some time to decompress from all

the stress.

I'm fond of this kind of topic.

Can you see the new world with your faith’s eyes?

 

I'm always thinking about Paradise.

 

My last point to think about was about "tracking". We will be billions, trillions, and more... how will we be able to keep track of people moving, especially if we spread in the Universe ?

I was wondering if we would set up a numbering system like what we have now with our social security number.

I thought about it, like : Axxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for Armageddon survivors, Bxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for Biblical/Faithful person resurrected during the Millenium, Cxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for Converted during the Millenium... I don't know for after  

Well, that's just an idea.

Can you see what you will work with, how will you live.

 

Woodworking, Glassmaking, Wine making, Cheese making  
Then, I'd love to be a Spaceship pilot

What will you spend your time doing?

Sipping some Mojito in a hammock after a morning in my vineyard  

Quote

What do you look forward the most?

No stress. No health anxiety. Peaceful world and absolutely everybody being a JW

How do you image your home?

I think of the resurrection a lot. This verse from one of our original songs comes to mind:

Take a moment now and think of a place
By the mountains and rivers or wide open plains.
It’s a place to call home.
And now walking in through your front door,
There is someone that you know
Holding out his open arms in hopes
Of a tearful embrace​—
Feels like forever since you’ve been face-to-face.
Even death won’t stop
Our God’s outstretched love
In the new world to come.

https://www.jw.org/finder?wtlocale=E&docid=1014323&srcid=share

The scriptures asks not to to be amazed at this, because Jehovah has granted Jesus the power to restore life. (John 5:28, 29) And it will happen. It is a promise from Jehovah, which means it is as good as done. It’s a guaranteed reality.

So when you imagine that warm wind sweeping in over your peaceful garden, and you can almost hear the children playing somewhere in the distance, and your loved one coming down the pathway, it is no fantasy. It is a preview of things to come. It is that anchor of faith that reaches way beyond the demise of this system of things and right into that peaceful new earth that God has promised.

Thanks @Thesauron for starting this topic. While going through the attachments that I need to ask the mods to delete, I found the image below (now shared as a link), which I considered with my young ones in September 2017, but is just as precious today:

Harmony with the natural environment

When God’s Kingdom takes charge of the earth, the Creator will take full control of all aspects of the weather, keeping it in perfect balance.

This is one of the descriptions (in the Wt No. 2 2021) of how conditions on earth will be like when Jehovah fulfills his promises. Without going into too much detail, I have several weather-related phobias. A world where weather will be kept in check? Let it come!!

Just something occurred to me...

Yes, Paradise Earth book page 12, 13 has snow capped mountains in the background. Everyone in the foreground has short sleeves! 🤔

[BLEmom]

In looking for a snow picture, I learned that we will be able to take hot air balloon rides in the new system!!! 👏🏻😁

I too dream, then I wake up. Anybody else have this problem?

Yes, winter is a lovely season created by Jehovah. Look at 1:40 in this video: https://www.jw.org/finder?srcid=share&wtlocale=E&lank=pub-jwbcov_201405_1_VIDEO

I can tell you, it's a "problem" common to the living. 😂

Indeed. This picture takes to heart the fact that earth is described as a garden, a paradise. Where are you?

I'm in the house at the top, in the center of the screen. I like these white walls.

I’m down there, under the flowers. Jasmine I think, and they smell just wonderful!

It's interesting that the homes don't show a field of food for each home, so a BBQ may be the main meal 👍🏻😁

Me too! Almost daily. 
I imagine all sorts of scenarios welcoming back my dear hubby and my beautiful daughter….

As for my home, it keeps changing! One moment I’m imagining being by the ocean (which is ironic as I don’t like the sea, I can’t swim so it scares me! 😂) and the next I imagine it’ll be a tree house deep in the forest! (Again I’m not brilliant with heights either!) 

I guess subconsciously my mind is telling me I will learn how to swim in the ocean & I’ll love heights! ☺️
Whatever the case, I shall just be glad to be there.
