We all interpret the Bible differently. As I have told you before, I do not believe that Isaiah 35 is not about a coming beautiful paradisaical world.
I believe It is a prophecy for what we will see after the return of Christ.
Isaiah prophesied that the Plain of Sharon and the holy mountain, Carmel, would both be centers for the light and presence of the ‘Glory of the Lord’ in the last days. All these prophecies were fulfilled after Christ returned with a new name which was Baha'u'llah.
Isaiah 35 King James Version (KJV)
35 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. 2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God.
Above Haifa, Israel, stands Mt. Carmel, proclaiming the Glory of the Lord has come.
I do not believe that Jesus will be in charge of God's kingdom on earth. Jesus rules in Heaven, not on Earth.
I believe that God's Kingdom will be established by humans with God's assistance.
“Beseech ye the one true God to grant that all men may be graciously assisted to fulfil that which is acceptable in Our sight. Soon will the present-day order be rolled up, and a new one spread out in its stead. Verily, thy Lord speaketh the truth, and is the Knower of things unseen.”
Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 7
Baha'is believe that the New Earth in Revelation is a new world order in which we will see the spiritualization of the peoples of the world and man will become a noble being adorned with divine virtues and perfections: New Race of Men
The “World Order” that Baha’is envision pertains to a number of subjects: politics and governance, economics, society, and religion, as is covered briefly in this blog: Toward a New World Order?
Thank you for your reply
Yes, agree Isaiah 35 is about what we will see 'after' the return of Christ ( After the coming time of Matthew 25:31-34,37 )
( Not a physical return - John 14:19 - but Christ governs from Heaven over Earth Any thoughts about 1st Corinthians 15:24-26 ? )
Not any physical/material Jerusalem but now 'heavenly Jerusalem' above as the seat of government over Earth - Galatians 4:26
Isaiah 35:5-6; Rev. 22:2 is about coming physical healing. Now is the time for spiritual health
I like that you bring out ' humans with God's assistance ' ( God assisted humans )
Please notice what I think about King David because under Christ resurrected David will be a Prince on Earth - Acts 2:34; John 6:40,44
- Ezekiel 34:24; Isaiah 32:1; Psalm 45:16
Yes, a new-world order ( 2nd Peter 3:13) a new heavens ( governmental heavens over a new earthly society )
Spiritualization offered for both the resurrected righteous and unrighteous ( Acts 24:15 KJV just and unjust )
The living righteous of Matthew 25:37 can continue to grow in spiritualization on Earth
Yes, in the NEW heavens and NEW earthly society politics and governance, economics, society and religion as covered in the Bible
We are nearing the Bible's 'final signal', so to speak, when the powers in charge will be saying, " Peace and Security......" as found at 1st Thess. 5:2-3 but that Rosy saying can lead people down that old Primrose Path instead of the coming of Christ to govern over Earth for one-thousand years - 1st Corinthians 15:24-26 - when even enemy death will be No more on Earth - Isaiah 25:8
Seems as if we are both looking forward towards a New World Order when righteousness will dwell - Proverbs 2:21-22
- 2nd Peter 3:13 B; Isaiah 11:4-5; Isaiah 65:17; Isaiah 66:22
