Life in a peaceful new world my face!

Oh. My. God. I saw this in our mailbox and had to put it on here because I couldn't stop laughing. Oh yeah, sure, life in a peaceful new word where people pet bears and lions, and deer comne right up to humans. Psh-HAHAHAHAHAHA. I guess it's not as funny if you don't have the text that goes with it, so here it is: "When you look at the scene on this tract, what feelings do you have? Does not your heart yearn for the peace, happiness, and prosperity seen there? Surely it does. But is it just a dream, or fantasy, to believe these conditions will ever exist on earth?... Well, consider the fact that such ideal conditions were part of God's original purpose for this earth. He placed the first human couple in the earthly Paradise of Eden and gave them a marvelous assignment: 'Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it.' (Genesis 1:28) Yes, God's purpose was for them to have children and eventually to spread their Paradise over all the earth. Although they later chose to disobey God, thus proving to be unfit to live forever, God's original purpose did not change. And it must be fulfilled in a new world!—Isaiah 55:11....God's Kingdom will bring earthly benefits beyond compare, accomplishing everything good that God originally purposed for his people to enjoy on earth. Hatreds and prejudices will cease to exist...In time, God's Kingdom will even restore the peaceful relations that existed in the garden of Eden between animals, and between animals and humans. The Bible says: 'The wolf will actually reside for a while with the male lamb, and with the kid the leopard itself will lie down, and the calf and the maned young lion and the well-fed animal all together; and a mere little boy will be leader over them.'"

That's ludicrous. Seriously. I-I don't even know what to say to that.

Actually, I do believe it. The spiritual world is real, just b/c we cannot see it, we cannot see sound waves or radio waves, yet our cell phones work off such an unseen power. So is the power of God and of the enemy of our souls.

What a wonderful thought that this dark sad world is not the end, but a stepping stone to Paradise, for those who believe!
