I don’t have enough Faith to be an Atheist
God is Love and Just
Dentists, athletic trainers, teachers, parents – they all know that sometimes to be good is not to be kind. God allows suffering and deprives us of the lesser good of pleasure in order to help us toward the greater good of moral and spiritual education. We learn from the mistakes we make and the suffering they bring. The universe is a soul – making machine. The point of our lives in this world isn’t comfort, but training and preparation for eternity. Scripture tells us that even Jesus learned obedience through suffering (Heb.5:8) – and if that was true for Him, why wouldn’t it be even more for us?

Daniel 007 PROPHECY OLD TESTAMENT
Genesis 1:28 “And God blessed them, and said unto them (that is Adam and Eve, although Eve hasn’t been created, she is still in Adam. So He is addressing them both.), `Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion…’”

050 Isaiah
Here we’re preparing the earth of the millennial reign, heaven on earth. It’s going to be an earth of tremendous production. There’ll be no want. There’ll be no sweat of the brow; it’s going to be an easy production, and food will be in abundance everywhere.
Isaiah 65:19-20a “And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. 20. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days:…” Death will be almost unknown in this thousand-year period.
Isaiah 65:20b “…for the child shall die an hundred years old; (At a hundred they’re still just as vibrant as a child.) but the sinner being a hundred years old shall be accursed.” Which means there might be a possibility of someone having to be removed. It’s going to be so rare that the Scripture really doesn’t deal with it all that much.
Isaiah 65:21-22a “And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 22. They shall not build, and another inhabit;…” Which was Israel’s history. They’d get their economy going and enemy forces would come in and take their crops and destroy their houses and they were under constant turmoil. But that will happen no more. read more » »

049 Isaiah
Isaiah 64:6a “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;…” Did the Pharisees think of themselves as “filthy rags?” They were self-righteous. They could do no wrong. Even Saul of Tarsus, who later became the Apostle Paul, was a religious to the hilt! He couldn’t find any fault in his lifestyle; he was religious. But the believing element could recognize what they were in God’s sight, and that’s why God could save them.
