text: what is your version of the perfect world?   god has promised us that the whole earth will soon become a paradise just as the garden of eden once was. these are god's promises regarding our earth and those who will live forever on it--  isaiah 11:6-9--  "and the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the 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 the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den. they shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of jehovah, as the waters cover the sea." psalm 37:9-11--" for evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the lord, they shall inherit the earth. for yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. but the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace." isaiah 2:4--"and he will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." isaiah 33:24--"and the inhabitant shall not say, i am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity." micah 4:4--"but they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the lord of hosts hath spoken it." isaiah 29:18---"and in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness." isaiah 35:5-6--" then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing; for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert."   what blessed times we'll realize--if we keep our eyes on the prize (of everlasting life on a perfect world)
