Here now is H m s Richards, the voice of prophecy speaker, his subject utopia in Prophecy. In 1516, sir Thomas Moore wrote a book describing an ideal commonwealth on an imaginary island. It was supposed to be perfect in politics, in law and art and everything else. He used the imaginary name Utopia U meaning not in Topos place, not a place Sir Thomas Moore knew there was no such place and no doubt believed there never would be such a place in this imperfect world. Centuries before Plato had written his famous republic, then came Campanella city of the Sun and later on Bella is looking backward. Many others Earth has had many philosophers and many dreamers looking forward, hoping, even working for the dreamland of perfection for heaven on earth, where a man would be as good as his words and as happy as his dreams. But so far it has never come and today we seem to live in a world which is universally tense, worried, troubled as never before. We have not only death and taxes to worry about, but world wars international confusion at last. Those in the farthest most isolated places may well worry that the very air they breathe may be so contaminated, has to be dangerous to life itself. What a world, what an age, what a day. Yet men keep on hoping for some utopia and well they may. The holy scripture plainly definitely describes such a place, such an age. This universal desire for better conditions comes from God himself. When the earth was first created, God declared it was very good and it was his plan that he should always be good. When his plan is at last carried out, it will again be good because the word of God cannot be broken. John 10 35 says, so today we see the evidence of evil, unemployment, bad housing, lack of food, necessities of life, crime, corruption, revolution in justice, sickness, suffering and death. We see whole nations ruled by the hand of tyranny, millions living in expectation of evil tidings. All these things must be eradicated before the perfect utopia can come. The utopia scripture prophecy some of the conditions which must be changed or pictured by the apostle Paul in two Timothy three, the first five verses where he mentions 19 sins as being committed by those who have a form of godliness and profess religion. This no. Also he says that in the last days perilous time shall come, four men shall be lovers of their own selves, coveted as bolsters, proud, disobedient appearance and so forth. 19 sins mentioned in Isaiah 59, 13 onward. The same condition is described in different words. The prophet says in transgressing and lying against the Lord, departing away from our God speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. He goes on and describes the condition almost like the apostle in some parts of the world there are great economic inequalities, conflicts of interest between the haves and the have nots develop into crisis after crisis. The prophecy of this is found in James five and the first eight verses it's quite clear that these conditions will continue until the second coming of Christ. We discover this by comparing Luke 1726 with Genesis, the sixth chapter as it was in the days before the flood. It shall be in the days before Christ's return to meet this. There must be justice for all universal employment, plentiful food, universal education, universal health and even the eradication of death itself in this world is such a condition predicted in holy prophecy. May we hope for such radical advances in human betterment to answer these questions. We read the prophecy of Revelation 2114 and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and there shall be no more death. Neither sorrow nor crying. Neither shall there be any more pain for the former things are passed away. There it is in plain words, the former things passed away. Read another prophecy of the same new earth time in Isaiah 65 21 and they shall build houses and inhabit them. They shall plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build in another inhabit not plant in another eat for as the days of a tree are the days of my people. That's the tree of life of course. And elect shall long enjoy the works of their hands. Real people, real country, real rewards for their labor. They do not work hard and then turn the result of their labor over to someone else. But beyond all this, there's no worry, no sorrow of heart for in verse 17 we read, for behold I create new heavens in a new earth and the former shall not be remembered nor come into mind or as the margin says come upon the heart. Friends, we ought to have a place in that land. Those ideal conditions, not only in the United States but in all the countries of the world. That's God's plan. It's truly coming according to holy scripture. But we shall not call this coming perfect land utopia, but EU T I A, the first word means that means no place but EU. T O P I A means good place. This will be a good land, a good time and a good place. Blessed other meek said Jesus, for they shall inherit the earth, Matthew five, five. They do not inherit it now but they shall at the end of Daniel's great prophecy of world nations. In the second chapter, Daniel verse 44, we find these words in the days of these kings, shall a God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed and the kingdom shall not be left to other people but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms and it shall stand forever. The four great world empires have passed in review, Balan, Persia, Greece, Rome. We are now down in the feet and toes of iron and clay of the image prophecy of the disintegrating nations of this earth. But before the great nations of western Europe pass away, the God of heaven shall set up his kingdom. This comes at the second come of Christ for we read in Matthew 25 31 when the son of man shall come in his glory and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory. You see the throne and the kingdom are together. They go together again In Daniel 7 22 at the climax prophecy of the wild beast. We find these words and judgment was given to the saints of the most high and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom and the kingdom and dominion and greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven shall be given to the people of the saints of the most high. Isn't that wonderful? A real promise that is as in perfect agreement with the prophecy of Revelation 1115 and the seventh angels sounded and there was great voices in heaven saying the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ. He shall reign forever and ever. So you see the coming kingdom is not to pass away, it's to be forever because it's the kingdom of Christ in glory right here on earth. The signs of the times indicate that this prophetic utopia to which the whole creation moves is coming soon. These signs are clearly declared in the 24th chapter of Matthew and the 23rd chapter of Luke among them are first world preparation for war. Vast sums of money beyond the imagination of man being spent for war or its preparation. Second world planning and crying for peace at the same time. We know that's true today. Next world preaching of the gospel and that's a wonderful and encouraging sign. And then fourth events concerning the nearest and the city of Jerusalem. We're all watching that part of the world today. It's one of the trouble centers of the earth from which great tensions radiate out over the world. Five. A great spiritual declension in the Christian Church and aposty from the original early faith of Christianity. Six universal preaching and proclamation of the second coming of Christ. Here's the prophecy of that in Matthew 24 32. Now learn a parable of the fig tree. You said Jesus when his branch is yet tender and put a fourth leaves, you know that summer is nine. When we see the leaves coming out, especially on the fig tree, which is very early, we know that spring is here in the summer is coming. So likewise ye when ye shall see all these things know that he is near that it is near the margin, says he even at the doors barely. I see unto you this generation shall not pass till all these things be fulfilled. Now we do not know the year or the day of it, but we certainly may know and should know when it is near. In fact, we're commanded to know when it's near. Now listen to the words of the Apostle Paul in one Thessalonians five first six verses. We'll read them carefully but of the times and the seasons. Brethren, you have no need that I write unto you for yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord. So come as a thief in the night that is unexpectedly for when they shall say peace, safety, then sudden destruction upon them as travel upon a woman with child and they shall not escape. But ye brethren are not in darkness that that day should overtake you as a thief year, all the children of light and the children of the the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep as do others, but let us watch and be sober. So it was written, thus it was written and thus it shall be. Let us indeed watch friends for in all these things. God speaks to modern man. He's speaking to you and to me in these events. Remember this once and for all. The perfect utopia of prophecy comes by divine intervention, not by human building or human plans. It involves a world super government under the dictatorship of the mastermind of the ages, the resurrected carpenter of Nazareth with an appointed cabinet of 12 immortal man. The 12 apostles. This we read in Matthew 1928. Many other scriptures might give you Revelation 1911 and Matthew 24 31 read the mat leisure we read of him this coming world ruler Jesus Christ and Isaiah nine, six For unto us a child is born unto us, a son is given and the government shall be upon his shoulder. Notice that government and his name shall be called wonderful counselor, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the prince of peace. And now notice where he rules and how white his rulership will be of the increase of his government and peace. There shall be no end upon the throne of David and upon his kingdom to order it and to establish it with judgment and with justice from hence fourth, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this and so it will from the Holy book of scripture comes the reply of the spirit of prophecy to the universal question of today. Prophets and kings will meet with gospel workers, all of them victorious after the conflict of the ages. What a day that will be. The drama of the ages will finally be completed. The great controversy between good and evil ended. This my friends, is the hope of the world, the desire of ages which will usher in our paradise home for so the Bible speaks and the great prophecies of Daniel and the revelation prove these things to be true. They are taught in holy scriptures from the very first. In fact, they are the prophetic faith of our fathers and what is our duty? We are to go forth and preach the gospel, help the sick and the afflicted to a ministry of healing like a new acts of the apostles. Every believer in present truth is now called. As we study our day in the light of prophecy, we get a vision of past, present, and future, which lends new light to our times and their meaning. We must give ourselves to daily Bible readings that we may review the past and harald the advent of the coming king. It is our privilege to live in these times and to recognize the signs of the times in which we live and hope my friends, our hope is the blessed hope Jesus only let us surrender to him fully and obey him that we may rejoice and see him when he comes. Lord thousand, save your claim. This is or Iverson of the voice of prophecy saying Keep looking up, going forward in faith. Have faith in God beyond laughter and sorrow. Have faith in God with no worry to borrow, have faith in God and his world of tomorrow. Have faith, dear friend in God. Join us again next week for another broadcast brought to you by the voice of prophecy, the Lord bless the and keep the the Lord. Make his face shine upon the and be gracious unto the the Lord. Lift up his continents upon the, and give the peace.
