Mystery of the Ages.PDF - Blow the Trumpet

But that does not mean that the acquired satanic attitude will disappear from humanminds immediately. The multiplied millions shall have acquired it. And even thoughSatan will then be restrained from continuing to broadcast it, what has been acquired ashabit will not be automatically removed.Yet God has made us humans free moral agents. He has given us control over ourown minds, except as we may be blinded by Satan's pull of evil by deception. But nolonger will earth's mortal humans be deceived! Now the all-powerful Christ, and theimmortal saints ruling under him, will begin removing the scales that have blinded humanminds.That is why I say complete utopia cannot be ushered in all at once. Multiplemillions will still hold to the attitude of rebellion--of vanity, lust and greed. But withChrist's coming shall begin the process of re-education--of opening deceived minds--ofun-deceiving minds, and bringing them to a voluntary repentance.From the time of Christ's supernatural takeover, and Satan's banishment, God'slaw and the word of the Eternal shall go forth from Zion, spreading over the whole earth(Isa. 2:3).The 6,000-year sentence God placed on Adam's world, of being cut off from God,will be ended. Christ will begin calling all mortals on earth to repentance and spiritualsalvation! God's Holy Spirit shall flow out from Jerusalem (Zech. 14:8).What glory! A new day shall have dawned. Peace shall soon come. Men shall turnfrom the way of "get" to the way of "give"--God's way of love.A NEW CIVILIZATION shall now grip the earth!But what kind of a new world tomorrow will from then be developed? In Isaiah2:2-4 and in Micah 4:1-3 it says: "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that themountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall beexalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go andsay, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God ofJacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we shall walk in his paths; for out of Zionshall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judgeamong the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords intoplowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword againstnation neither shall they learn war any more."Think of it! No more wars. No fear of man or beast. World peace at last.Something will have to cause that peace. The law of God, which a professed"Christianity" teaches was done away, shall go out from Jerusalem and the earth will beas full of the knowledge of God's way of life as the ocean beds are full of water.Even the wild animals will be tamed and at peace: "The wolf also shall dwell withthe lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion andthe fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed;their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And thesucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand onthe cockatrice' den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earthshall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea" (Isa. 11:6-9).Now picture the changed conditions!
