THE RESULTS
At the Return of our Lord Jesus and as a result of that return, wAB SHALL oEASE, PEACE A.ND PLENTY SHALL BEIGN AND THI: BIGHTEous SHALL FLOURISH. This is declared over and over again in the prophetic Scrip tures. For example, we read in Is. 2:2, 4, ''And it shall come to pass in the lat ter days, that the mountain of Jehovah's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall fl.ow unto it. 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.'' We find a similar picture of those glad coming days in the prophecy of Micah: ''And he will judge between many peoples, and will decide con cerning strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig-tree; and none shall make them afraid; for the mouth of Jehovah of hosts
