00:00.000 --> 00:04.070
Elon Musk wants to put human
beings on the planet Mars.
00:04.137 --> 00:05.772
He's not alone.
00:05.839 --> 00:08.742
NASA aims to send astronauts
to Mars as well.
00:08.808 --> 00:11.211
But what if we make it?
00:11.277 --> 00:14.447
What sort of world
would we turn Mars into?
00:14.514 --> 00:17.650
Actually, we already know
the answer--and there's
00:17.717 --> 00:21.855
a lot we can learn by
exploring just how we know.
00:21.921 --> 00:23.790
Join us for this episode
of Tomorrow's World where
00:23.857 --> 00:27.293
we explain How to
Build a New World.
00:27.360 --> 00:33.867
♪
00:33.933 --> 00:36.469
Greetings, and welcome to
Tomorrow's World, where we
00:36.536 --> 00:38.938
help you make sense of
your world through the
00:39.005 --> 00:40.874
pages of the Bible.
00:40.940 --> 00:43.810
And "your world"--for
right now, at least--
00:43.877 --> 00:48.281
consists of only one world:
the one we enjoy right here
00:48.348 --> 00:50.550
on good ol' planet Earth.
00:50.617 --> 00:52.419
But many are looking
to expand that list
00:52.485 --> 00:55.321
of possible worlds to
include the planet Mars.
00:55.388 --> 00:58.124
We'll discuss the prospects of that in just a moment.
00:58.191 --> 01:00.727
We'll also be offering you a copy of today's free resource,
01:00.794 --> 01:04.097
The World Ahead:
What Will It Be Like?
01:04.164 --> 01:07.567
A detailed, biblical
look at how Jesus Christ
01:07.634 --> 01:11.604
will transform our
world after He returns.
01:11.671 --> 01:13.573
Keep an eye out throughout
the program for the
01:13.640 --> 01:16.109
information you'll need
to get your copy.
01:16.176 --> 01:18.778
Would you like to
travel to another world?
01:18.845 --> 01:22.048
Well, some very wealthy,
very powerful individuals
01:22.115 --> 01:25.485
and organizations are very
invested in trying to make
01:25.552 --> 01:28.922
such a possibility a
reality--and possibly
01:28.988 --> 01:30.890
within your lifetime.
01:30.957 --> 01:34.160
Multibillionaire Elon
Musk, founder of SpaceX
01:34.227 --> 01:38.832
and CEO of Tesla suggested
in 2022 that he would land
01:38.898 --> 01:43.803
a manned mission to Mars
as early as 2029 and
01:43.870 --> 01:46.606
released a video in 2023
depicting one of his
01:46.673 --> 01:51.244
planned Starship spacecraft landing on the planet
01:51.311 --> 01:54.914
and joining a thriving and growing human colony.
01:54.981 --> 01:56.883
But Mr. Musk isn't alone.
01:56.950 --> 02:00.153
America's NASA is working
on its own efforts to
02:00.220 --> 02:02.355
put a manned mission
on the Red Planet.
02:02.422 --> 02:05.325
Through their Artemis
program, NASA plans to
02:05.391 --> 02:09.496
establish humanity's first
long-term base on the Moon.
02:09.562 --> 02:12.432
And there, they plan to
learn what it takes
02:12.499 --> 02:15.268
to establish a base on Mars.
02:15.335 --> 02:19.372
I'll be honest--I find these missions fascinating.
02:19.439 --> 02:22.008
From the earliest days I
can remember, the idea of
02:22.075 --> 02:25.645
mankind placing colonies
on another world has
02:25.712 --> 02:27.146
gripped my imagination.
02:27.213 --> 02:30.783
Yet even for a relatively
close planet like Mars,
02:30.850 --> 02:34.220
the technological
challenges are formidable.
02:34.287 --> 02:37.357
For one, the trip to Mars
could take six to seven
02:37.423 --> 02:40.126
months, during which the
European Space Agency
02:40.193 --> 02:43.496
estimates astronauts would
be potentially exposed to
02:43.563 --> 02:47.033
700 times the amount of
radiation we're normally
02:47.100 --> 02:48.635
exposed to on earth.
02:48.701 --> 02:52.305
And surviving the long,
lonely, and dangerous trip
02:52.372 --> 02:54.407
there isn't the
hardest part.
02:54.474 --> 02:57.810
Mars may be the most earth-like planet in the solar system,
02:57.877 --> 03:00.947
but it is not even
close to hospitable.
03:01.014 --> 03:03.516
Even at the relatively
"temperate" equator,
03:03.583 --> 03:07.921
the temperatures drop to
-100 degrees Fahrenheit
03:07.987 --> 03:12.125
or -73 degrees Celsius,
for our metric friends.
03:12.191 --> 03:16.629
The air on Mars is as thin
as you'd find 21 miles
03:16.696 --> 03:20.400
above the surface of the
earth, and 96% of it is
03:20.466 --> 03:23.770
carbon dioxide, with oxygen making up less than
03:23.836 --> 03:25.572
two-tenths of a percent.
03:25.638 --> 03:29.642
But, for the moment, let's
set all of that aside.
03:29.709 --> 03:32.211
Let's suppose
that we made it.
03:32.278 --> 03:34.847
Let's imagine that
humanity--whether the
03:34.914 --> 03:37.750
United States, or Elon
Musk followers, or anyone
03:37.817 --> 03:42.021
else--has been able land
craft on Mars and build
03:42.088 --> 03:43.723
a permanent settlement.
03:43.790 --> 03:48.795
In fact, imagine that settlement 100 years in the future.
03:48.861 --> 03:50.530
Even 500 years.
03:50.597 --> 03:55.301
All technological challenges
met and surpassed--a large,
03:55.368 --> 03:58.638
thriving, new outpost
for humankind.
03:58.705 --> 04:01.441
That is, imagine we've
achieved our wildest
04:01.507 --> 04:04.944
dreams, conquered the
final frontier, and
04:05.011 --> 04:07.614
successfully transplanted
humanity and human
04:07.680 --> 04:12.151
civilization from the planet
Earth to the planet Mars.
04:12.218 --> 04:14.687
In such futuristic
outposts,
04:14.754 --> 04:17.457
what should we
expect to see?
04:17.523 --> 04:20.059
And let me be clear: I
don't mean what technology
04:20.126 --> 04:21.728
should we expect to see.
04:21.794 --> 04:25.164
That could be anything--
domed cities, environmental
04:25.231 --> 04:28.935
reengineering machinery, new forms of transportation.
04:29.002 --> 04:32.005
No, I mean in terms of the
civilization, itself--
04:32.071 --> 04:36.009
the people--the citizens
of our new interplanetary
04:36.075 --> 04:39.178
metropolises, their lives,
their relationships.
04:39.245 --> 04:42.749
What should we expect to
see concerning human life
04:42.815 --> 04:44.784
on this new world?
04:44.851 --> 04:47.286
Or maybe I should ask the
question differently.
04:47.353 --> 04:50.657
Is there any reason we
should expect life on
04:50.723 --> 04:55.328
Mars to be fundamentally
different from life here?
04:55.395 --> 04:56.896
Troubled relationships?
04:56.963 --> 04:58.398
Broken families?
04:58.464 --> 04:59.832
Government corruption?
04:59.899 --> 05:02.602
Educational confusion
and nonsense?
05:02.669 --> 05:03.736
Political rancor?
05:03.803 --> 05:04.537
Crime?
05:04.604 --> 05:05.038
Theft?
05:05.104 --> 05:05.738
Murders?
05:05.805 --> 05:07.306
Rapes?
05:07.373 --> 05:10.176
Because no matter what new
and fantastic technology
05:10.243 --> 05:13.746
we might invent and deploy
there, the one common
05:13.813 --> 05:18.084
element in our imagined
civilization on Mars and
05:18.151 --> 05:23.556
very real civilization here
on Earth is us--human beings.
05:23.623 --> 05:26.893
And thousands of years
of experience teach us an
05:26.959 --> 05:30.196
important lesson: We don't
know how to live together
05:30.263 --> 05:33.499
on our own world--how
do we expect to know
05:33.566 --> 05:35.668
how to build a new one?
05:35.735 --> 05:39.872
If we one day begin
building new worlds on
05:39.939 --> 05:43.409
other planets, the key
import we will bring with
05:43.476 --> 05:45.778
us is ourselves.
05:45.845 --> 05:49.215
And with us, we bring
all the same spiritual
05:49.282 --> 05:51.284
problems we have allowed
to corrupt and corrode
05:51.350 --> 05:53.386
our civilization here:
05:53.453 --> 05:54.554
Lust.
05:54.620 --> 05:55.421
Greed.
05:55.488 --> 05:56.222
Hate.
05:56.289 --> 05:57.023
Envy.
05:57.090 --> 05:57.724
Covetousness.
05:57.790 --> 05:58.524
Deceit.
05:58.591 --> 05:59.392
Pride.
05:59.459 --> 06:00.359
Malice.
06:00.426 --> 06:01.260
Arrogance.
06:01.327 --> 06:02.228
Bigotry.
06:02.295 --> 06:02.995
Cruelty.
06:03.062 --> 06:04.030
Hedonism.
06:04.097 --> 06:05.898
Selfish ambition.
06:05.965 --> 06:09.168
No matter where we take
ourselves in this universe,
06:09.235 --> 06:13.740
those terrible facets of human nature will ride alongside
06:13.806 --> 06:17.710
us as unwelcome, but
inevitable, stowaways.
06:17.777 --> 06:19.212
Why is that?
06:19.278 --> 06:23.149
Why are such self-destructive vices so inevitable
06:23.216 --> 06:24.117
in our world?
06:24.183 --> 06:28.554
Is there a way to build a
truly better, new world?
06:28.621 --> 06:30.389
Yes, there is.
06:30.456 --> 06:32.558
But understanding how
to do that will first
06:32.625 --> 06:35.561
require us to answer
a different question:
06:35.628 --> 06:39.565
Why is our current world
the way it is?
06:39.632 --> 06:41.968
Believe it or not, the
answer to that question
06:42.034 --> 06:43.402
is a simple one.
06:43.469 --> 06:46.172
And understanding the
answer points us to the
06:46.239 --> 06:50.409
only way to create a
new and better world.
06:50.476 --> 06:52.779
We'll discuss that
answer in a moment.
06:52.845 --> 06:56.015
First, I want to take a
moment to offer you our free
06:56.082 --> 06:59.719
resource, The World Ahead:
What Will It Be Like?
06:59.786 --> 07:02.755
Many believe that Jesus
Christ will return, but
07:02.822 --> 07:07.894
very few understand just what
He will do after He returns.
07:07.960 --> 07:10.163
This book lays out
Christ's plans for the
07:10.229 --> 07:13.432
world, as revealed in
the pages of your Bible.
07:13.499 --> 07:16.502
If the return of Christ
matters to you, then few
07:16.569 --> 07:20.106
things can be more important than understanding exactly
07:20.173 --> 07:25.444
how He plans to transform
this world after His return--
07:25.511 --> 07:30.349

♪
08:46.993 --> 08:48.127
Welcome back.
08:48.194 --> 08:50.363
In our last segment, we
pointed out that there's
08:50.429 --> 08:53.099
no rational reason to
believe that we won't make
08:53.165 --> 08:56.335
any new world just
like the old world.
08:56.402 --> 08:58.671
Whatever civilization
we were to build on Mars
08:58.738 --> 09:02.008
would be little more than
"the same old, same old."
09:02.074 --> 09:05.211
Experience teaches us that
wherever we go, we take
09:05.278 --> 09:06.779
our problems with us.
09:06.846 --> 09:09.916
The key to solving that
problem is to understand
09:09.982 --> 09:13.419
why our world is
the way it is.
09:13.486 --> 09:17.156
And the reason why has to
do with the foundation on
09:17.223 --> 09:19.091
which our world is built.
09:19.158 --> 09:22.428
In Psalm 11:3,
King David asks,
09:22.495 --> 09:26.098
"If the foundations are destroyed, what can
09:26.165 --> 09:27.600
the righteous do?"
09:27.667 --> 09:31.103
The answer is assumed to
be obvious: "Nothing."
09:31.170 --> 09:34.607
If the foundations are
broken, then nothing of
09:34.674 --> 09:37.343
lasting value can
be built upon them.
09:37.410 --> 09:40.346
And as we will see, the
foundations on which we
09:40.413 --> 09:46.319
continue to try to build our
world are utterly broken.
09:46.385 --> 09:49.822
To understand why, we have to
go back to the beginning
09:49.889 --> 09:53.592
of our civilization--
the very beginning.
09:53.659 --> 09:56.128
We see that beginning in
the book of Genesis, when
09:56.195 --> 09:59.865
God created the first man
and woman, Adam and Eve.
09:59.932 --> 10:04.870
In Genesis 1 and verse 26,
we read the following:
10:04.937 --> 10:09.942
"Then God said, 'Let Us make
man in Our image, according
10:10.009 --> 10:13.846
to Our likeness; let them
have dominion over the fish
10:13.913 --> 10:17.917
of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle,
10:17.984 --> 10:22.455
over all the earth and over every creeping thing that
10:22.521 --> 10:24.557
creeps on the earth.'"
10:24.623 --> 10:27.760
Man was to be given full
control over the whole
10:27.827 --> 10:30.262
world and everything in it.
10:30.329 --> 10:33.032
That was because humanity
had a very special
10:33.099 --> 10:34.667
purpose to fulfill.
10:34.734 --> 10:36.268
Continue in verse 27:
10:36.335 --> 10:41.474
"So God created man in His own image; in the image of God
10:41.540 --> 10:46.345
He created him; male and
female He created them."
10:46.412 --> 10:50.549
Unlike all the animals, each created according to their kind,
10:50.616 --> 10:55.254
man was created after the God kind--designed to reflect his
10:55.321 --> 10:59.658
Creator and, ultimately, to become fully like his Creator.
10:59.725 --> 11:02.094
But becoming like the
Creator requires more
11:02.161 --> 11:04.964
than just being in His
likeness and image.
11:05.031 --> 11:07.800
It requires building
His own character.
11:07.867 --> 11:11.137
And building character
requires choice.
11:11.203 --> 11:14.807
So, God planted two trees in
the Garden of Eden that would
11:14.874 --> 11:19.445
present man with a choice:
to obey or disobey...
11:19.512 --> 11:23.482
"And out of the ground the
LORD God made every tree
11:23.549 --> 11:26.719
grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food.
11:26.786 --> 11:29.688
The tree of life was also
in the midst of the garden,
11:29.755 --> 11:32.925
and the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil.
11:32.992 --> 11:35.161
...And the LORD God commanded the man, saying,
11:35.227 --> 11:38.397
'Of every tree of the
garden you may freely eat;
11:38.464 --> 11:41.200
but of the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil
11:41.267 --> 11:44.804
you shall not eat, for in
the day that you eat of it
11:44.870 --> 11:47.606
you shall surely die.'"
11:47.673 --> 11:50.843
And, if you know the rest of
the story, then you know
11:50.910 --> 11:53.312
Adam chose to eat of
the wrong tree.
11:53.379 --> 11:56.248
His wife, Eve, was deceived
by the devil to do so,
11:56.315 --> 12:00.119
but when she gave fruit from
the forbidden tree to Adam,
12:00.186 --> 12:03.722
the Apostle Paul tells us
that "Adam was not deceived."
12:03.789 --> 12:07.126
He knew what he was doing,
and he willingly chose
12:07.193 --> 12:09.161
to disobey God.
12:09.228 --> 12:13.132
That single act laid the
foundation for all
12:13.199 --> 12:15.334
of human history
and civilization.
12:15.401 --> 12:18.404
God had given Adam and
Eve, the first humans,
12:18.471 --> 12:20.206
all they could ever want:
12:20.272 --> 12:24.643
a safe, beautiful paradise, honest labor, fellowship with
12:24.710 --> 12:28.447
their Creator, and a future family to grow and nurture.
12:28.514 --> 12:32.351
They had only to obey their Creator's loving will.
12:32.418 --> 12:34.453
But Adam chose otherwise.
12:34.520 --> 12:38.090
In choosing to purposefully
eat from the forbidden tree,
12:38.157 --> 12:44.430
Adam told God, in effect, "Not
Your will, God, but mine."
12:44.497 --> 12:48.868
Adam rejected God's will
in favor of his own.
12:48.934 --> 12:51.871
And, really, if you and
I are honest about it,
12:51.937 --> 12:55.975
we've made the same choice
ourselves from time to time.
12:56.041 --> 13:01.480
Choosing our own will over
God's express will is sin.
13:01.547 --> 13:03.816
And the Bible assures us that
13:03.883 --> 13:07.686
"all have sinned and fall
short of the glory of God."
13:07.753 --> 13:11.357
And that statement--"Not
Your will, God, but mine"--
13:11.423 --> 13:15.060
is the fundamental basis
of virtually every human
13:15.127 --> 13:17.396
institution we see
around us today.
13:17.463 --> 13:20.533
In government, we see lip
service paid to God--
13:20.599 --> 13:23.469
in America, for instance,
politicians like to say
13:23.536 --> 13:26.338
things like "God bless
America," but they don't
13:26.405 --> 13:30.309
want to seek His blessings
in their laws and policies.
13:30.376 --> 13:33.712
In the ivory towers of
academia, credentialed
13:33.779 --> 13:37.316
elites tend to believe
they've outgrown God and
13:37.383 --> 13:39.919
constantly come up with
humanly devised codes of
13:39.985 --> 13:42.955
ethics and morality that
result in little more than
13:43.022 --> 13:45.057
continued moral rot.
13:45.124 --> 13:48.360
Calling the entertainment
industry a cesspool is an
13:48.427 --> 13:50.095
insult to cesspools.
13:50.162 --> 13:53.766
And--as shocking as this
may seem--our religions,
13:53.832 --> 13:57.469
even the vast majority of
so-called "Christianity,"
13:57.536 --> 14:00.873
is filled with ideas and
philosophies of mere
14:00.940 --> 14:04.043
human beings and pagan
superstitions--not a
14:04.109 --> 14:07.313
devotion to the word of
God over human tradition.
14:07.379 --> 14:10.649
The foundation of our collapsing society can be summed up
14:10.716 --> 14:16.822
in that single phrase:
"Not Your will, God, but mine."
14:16.889 --> 14:19.758
And understanding that
foundation of our current
14:19.825 --> 14:22.528
world is the key to
understanding how to
14:22.595 --> 14:24.663
build a new world,
14:24.730 --> 14:26.198
a good world,
14:26.265 --> 14:29.001
a world to last
for eternity.
14:29.068 --> 14:31.904
We'll explore how to do
that in the next segment
14:31.971 --> 14:33.105

14:42.081 --> 14:45.985
Christ's return is closer
now than it has ever been,
14:46.051 --> 14:47.820
bringing with it a
time Jesus called
14:47.886 --> 14:50.522
"the regeneration" and
Peter called the
14:50.589 --> 14:52.658
"restoration of all things."
14:52.725 --> 14:55.728
Jesus' reign is not a
mystery-- in fact, the
14:55.794 --> 14:59.365
Bible is filled with details about that future world.
14:59.431 --> 15:02.034
The hope of the world
Jesus Christ will bring
15:02.101 --> 15:05.037
with Him tomorrow is a
hope that has the power

15:36.235 --> 15:38.804
In our last segment, we
noted that the foundation
15:38.871 --> 15:42.574
of our collapsing and decaying world can be summarized in
15:42.641 --> 15:46.378
the statement "Not Your
will God, but mine."
15:46.445 --> 15:50.482
For millennia, mankind has sought to build its own world
15:50.549 --> 15:56.422
its own way--never committing
to do it God's way--not fully.
15:56.488 --> 15:59.024
Since we can't build a
new world on a broken
15:59.091 --> 16:01.760
foundation, we have
only one choice:
16:01.827 --> 16:06.865
Remove that foundation and replace it with a good one.
16:06.932 --> 16:10.169
And Jesus Christ provides
that foundation.
16:10.235 --> 16:12.738
We see it revealed in the
Garden of Gethsemane,
16:12.805 --> 16:15.441
the night Jesus was
to be betrayed and
16:15.507 --> 16:17.876
ultimately delivered
up to crucifixion.
16:17.943 --> 16:20.879
As His disciples slept
that night, Jesus
16:20.946 --> 16:23.515
pleaded before His
Father in prayer.
16:23.582 --> 16:26.819
Knowing the pain and agony
to come, He knelt there in
16:26.885 --> 16:30.155
the garden and asked His
Father if there was any
16:30.222 --> 16:33.625
other way that Their great
plan could be accomplished.
16:33.692 --> 16:36.595
Like any of us would,
He did not want
16:36.662 --> 16:39.131
to be tortured to
death for hours.
16:39.198 --> 16:42.735
He did not want to go through
the agonizing trial and
16:42.801 --> 16:46.171
cruel, lonely, excruciating death that lay ahead.
16:46.238 --> 16:50.275
Yet, in all His passionate
pleading, His focus and
16:50.342 --> 16:52.378
resolve never wavered.
16:52.444 --> 16:55.214
Even in the face of one of
the cruelest executions
16:55.280 --> 16:59.017
mankind has devised,
He told God in prayer,
16:59.084 --> 17:03.956
"Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me;
17:04.022 --> 17:10.329
nevertheless not My will,
but Yours, be done."
17:10.396 --> 17:14.833
That is the foundation on which new worlds can be built.
17:14.900 --> 17:19.104
Surrounded by paradise and
comfort, Adam told God,
17:19.171 --> 17:21.840
"Not Your will, God, but mine."
17:21.907 --> 17:26.078
Yet, facing agony, suffering, and a torturous death,
17:26.145 --> 17:31.717
Jesus told God, "Not My
will, Father, but Yours."
17:31.784 --> 17:35.654
That, my friends, is the
only foundation on which
17:35.721 --> 17:39.224
a new world of true,
unending peace, joy,
17:39.291 --> 17:42.628
hope, and love can
ever be built.
17:42.694 --> 17:44.730
It is the very opposite
of the foundation
17:44.797 --> 17:47.666
today's world is built on--
but it will be the
17:47.733 --> 17:51.203
rock-solid foundation of
tomorrow's world.
17:51.270 --> 17:52.471
Our free booklet today,
17:52.538 --> 17:54.673
The World Ahead: What
Will It Be Like?
17:54.740 --> 17:59.645
goes into detail in page
after page about that coming,
17:59.711 --> 18:03.782
beautiful world Jesus Christ will build on that foundation.
18:03.849 --> 18:06.685
Let me just read a few
excepts from the booklet
18:06.752 --> 18:10.022
describing that new
and beautiful world...
18:10.088 --> 18:12.624
On page 12, the late
Roderick C. Meredith--
18:12.691 --> 18:16.161
long time evangelist of Jesus Christ--writes of this
18:16.228 --> 18:19.865
new world ahead of us, built on a brand new foundation:
18:19.932 --> 18:22.601
Yes, we will have peace
and prosperity when
18:22.668 --> 18:26.004
everyone learns to obey
God's commandments.
18:26.071 --> 18:29.408
Then the world will be blessed with physical abundance.
18:29.475 --> 18:31.977
The sick and the
crippled will be healed.
18:32.044 --> 18:34.746
The spiritually blinded
millions will come
18:34.813 --> 18:37.049
to really know God.
18:37.115 --> 18:39.985
The human beings on earth
under God's government
18:40.052 --> 18:42.721
during Christ's millennial
reign are pictured as
18:42.788 --> 18:46.525
learning to sing, dance,
and shout for joy at the
18:46.592 --> 18:49.595
wonderful way of life they
will experience under the
18:49.661 --> 18:51.830
perfect government of God.
18:51.897 --> 18:54.867
As we have seen, even the
nature of wild animals
18:54.933 --> 18:57.135
will be turned
to peacefulness.
18:57.202 --> 19:00.272
At last, people will learn
that it really is more
19:00.339 --> 19:03.542
blessed to give
than to receive.
19:03.609 --> 19:06.712
All their frustrations and
guilt complexes will
19:06.778 --> 19:08.380
at last disappear.
19:08.447 --> 19:09.948
Then they will come to know
19:10.015 --> 19:14.119
"the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding."
19:14.186 --> 19:17.756
Under God's government and
His perfect laws, people
19:17.823 --> 19:21.493
will learn that Jesus meant business when He said,
19:21.560 --> 19:24.730
"I have come that they
may have life, and
19:24.796 --> 19:27.599
that they may have it
more abundantly."
19:27.666 --> 19:31.436
Later, on page 26, speaking further about the 1,000-year
19:31.503 --> 19:34.206
reign of Christ and His
saints, he writes,
19:34.273 --> 19:37.009
During the Millennium,
the entire approach to
19:37.075 --> 19:40.245
agriculture and health
will be vastly changed
19:40.312 --> 19:42.414
from the emphasis
we see today in
19:42.481 --> 19:45.150
many "mega-farmers"
and agro-businesses.
19:45.217 --> 19:48.420
Today, profits reign
supreme, at the expense
19:48.487 --> 19:50.355
of food quality and health.
19:50.422 --> 19:53.625
But in the world ahead, with
the living Jesus Christ
19:53.692 --> 19:57.329
directly in charge, farmers
will have what the Bible
19:57.396 --> 20:00.732
calls the "fear of
God" guiding them.
20:00.799 --> 20:05.070
They will be willing--even eager--to genuinely serve
20:05.137 --> 20:08.707
their fellow human beings in
how they produce and distribute
20:08.774 --> 20:10.943
agricultural commodities.
20:11.009 --> 20:13.612
These are only a few
examples--our booklet,
20:13.679 --> 20:15.447
The World Ahead:
What Will It Be Like?
20:15.514 --> 20:17.382
goes into so many more.
20:17.449 --> 20:20.452
Suffice it to say that
what God intended the
20:20.519 --> 20:23.422
world to be, illustrated
in the abundant and
20:23.488 --> 20:26.925
beautiful Garden of Eden,
will be restored.
20:26.992 --> 20:31.296
It will be, in a very
real sense, a new world--
20:31.363 --> 20:34.299
built by the returned Son
of God and His glorified
20:34.366 --> 20:37.135
followers, guiding,
directing, and teaching
20:37.202 --> 20:39.071
mankind for 1,000 years.
20:39.137 --> 20:42.908
Instead of the broken, plagued world we've always known,
20:42.975 --> 20:46.311
mankind will experience
a world of peace, joy,
20:46.378 --> 20:48.313
health, and abundance.
20:48.380 --> 20:51.483
All because the new world
ahead will have been built
20:51.550 --> 20:57.589
on a new foundation: "Not
my will, God, but Yours."
20:57.656 --> 21:01.093
How we long for Christ
to return and that day
21:01.159 --> 21:04.596
to come, as Jesus Christ
taught us to pray,
21:04.663 --> 21:08.066
"Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
21:08.133 --> 21:10.869
Your kingdom come.
21:10.936 --> 21:17.242
Your will be done on earth
as it is in heaven."
21:17.309 --> 21:20.846
Once you know how to
build a truly new world,
21:20.912 --> 21:24.116
and how beautiful and joyous that new world will be,
21:24.182 --> 21:25.784
it's hard to wait.
21:25.851 --> 21:28.520
And on that front, I
have very good news,
21:28.587 --> 21:30.222

truly new world can ever

24:02.574 --> 24:04.242
devastating problems.
24:04.309 --> 24:07.345
But the world Jesus Christ
will establish after
24:07.412 --> 24:10.882
His return will be built
on that new foundation--
24:10.949 --> 24:14.519
transforming the world
and then, afterward,
24:14.586 --> 24:16.421
the entire cosmos.
24:16.488 --> 24:18.990
As Paul tells
us in Romans 8,
24:19.057 --> 24:21.726
"For I consider that the
sufferings of this present
24:21.793 --> 24:25.497
time are not worthy to be
compared with the glory
24:25.564 --> 24:27.899
which shall be
revealed in us.
24:27.966 --> 24:30.635
For the earnest expectation
of the creation eagerly
24:30.702 --> 24:33.805
waits for the revealing
of the sons of God.
24:33.872 --> 24:36.708
For the creation was
subjected to futility, not
24:36.775 --> 24:41.379
willingly, but because of Him
who subjected it in hope;
24:41.446 --> 24:44.482
because the creation
itself also will be
24:44.549 --> 24:47.485
delivered from the bondage
of corruption into the
24:47.552 --> 24:51.423
glorious liberty of
the children of God."
24:51.489 --> 24:54.559
Indeed, eventually all
of creation--the entire
24:54.626 --> 24:57.662
universe--will get to
experience the liberation
24:57.729 --> 25:01.099
that comes with being
ruled by the divine Family
25:01.166 --> 25:04.102
of God, which will include
the glorified followers of
25:04.169 --> 25:06.972
Jesus Christ, who are
eager to build on
25:07.038 --> 25:10.041
the new foundation that
their Savior had laid.
25:10.108 --> 25:14.112
So, yes, even Mars may
finally get its shot.
25:14.179 --> 25:17.849
But we do not have to wait
until Christ returns
25:17.916 --> 25:21.686
to begin knowing the joy
of building a new world.
25:21.753 --> 25:24.556
None of us may control a
whole planet right now,
25:24.623 --> 25:28.960
but we each have our own
world--our own families,
25:29.027 --> 25:32.664
our own spheres of influence, our own lives--
25:32.731 --> 25:35.400
in which we can begin
to build anew.
25:35.467 --> 25:39.504
We can experience, in our
own worlds, now, a taste
25:39.571 --> 25:43.041
of the joy, hope, peace,
and happiness that awaits
25:43.108 --> 25:46.144
the rest of the world
at the Savior's return.
25:46.211 --> 25:48.947
All that is required is
to begin building that
25:49.014 --> 25:53.251
new world in our lives now
is the choice to begin
25:53.318 --> 25:55.420
building on that
new foundation:
25:55.487 --> 25:58.723
"Not my will,
God, but Yours."
25:58.790 --> 26:00.725
We need only to repent.
26:00.792 --> 26:02.694
Give up our sins.
26:02.761 --> 26:04.863
Ask God for forgiveness.
26:04.930 --> 26:08.199
Give up our devotion to
doing things our way,
26:08.266 --> 26:12.704
and ask God to help us begin
doing things His way--
26:12.771 --> 26:15.373
the way Jesus Christ
would do them.
26:15.440 --> 26:18.143
And with every step we
take in doing so, we will
26:18.209 --> 26:21.746
find the blossoms of that
new world growing beneath
26:21.813 --> 26:24.916
our feet, and bringing
with them the aroma of the
26:24.983 --> 26:28.586
world tomorrow that Christ
is bringing with Him.
26:28.653 --> 26:31.623
There is a vibrant community
of commandment-keeping
26:31.690 --> 26:34.459
Christians who are striving
to do just that.
26:34.526 --> 26:36.227
If you've come to the
point that you wish to set
26:36.294 --> 26:38.997
aside your own ways and
your own will and truly
26:39.064 --> 26:41.499
abandon yourself to
obedience to God's will
26:41.566 --> 26:43.935
and commands, you may want
to counsel with one of
26:44.002 --> 26:46.104
