What do you want out of life? Are you looking forward to a future life in the hereafter? You would really be surprised to learn of all the ideas which modern man has invented to explain his existence on this earth and to justify his present conduct. Everyone today seems to have his or her own philosophy of life. Some of these opinions have come from the sacred Scriptures, but most of them have come from the ideas of some ancient pagan intellectual, who did not know Yahweh, the only true and living Mighty One.

As a matter of fact, most ministers of our day put more time into the study of worldly philosophy than into the study of the inspired Scriptures. The Apostle Paul exhorts the congregation at Colossae, in Colossians 2:8, "Take heed lest there shall be anyone that makes spoil of you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after the Messiah." Man’s philosophy is not some modern concept, but the early Apostles also had to contend with this pagan influence in the early assemblies.

Every person on this earth really wants something good out of life. First, they want their daily needs to be supplied. They desire a good home to live in and a tranquil environment wherein to raise their families. Some people are content with the satisfaction of these basic needs. Yet, most everyone wants something more out of life. They are looking for a utopia wherein everything always works out right, where no evident problems exist to contend with, where a livelihood can be earned with minimal physical exertion, and where we may live out our earthly lives in satisfaction and pleasure.

Our libraries contain numerous shelves that are just groaning under the weight of volumes which have been written explaining exactly how these goals may be achieved. Yet, to this very day, our society has still not found the way to happiness, even with these detailed instructions.

Our lives still go on just as before, life for most people continues to be brutally boring and uninteresting. Problems seem to mount instead of diminish. Most people in our asphalt and concrete urban jungles seem to regard their lives with less hopefulness than ever. In order to bear their drab mundane existence, most people eventually turn to the sensual pursuit of alcohol, drugs, and sex. Rather than solving their problems, these avenues of escape turn into dead-end streets of despair. Rather than leading to the utopia which they promise at first glance, these escapes ultimately lead to self-destruction.

Did you know that just about every ancient civilization contains a story of a lost utopia? Most of the readers have read or heard of Pandora and her box, how she disobeyed and opened the box, thereby releasing a corruption of the blissful life she previously had. Such a parallel is the account of Adam and Eve in Genesis chapter 3.

Since the time that Eve induced Adam to disobey Almighty Yahweh and thereby yielding to their base carnal nature, this trait of disobedience has excluded mankind from returning to the place (the garden of Eden, the paradise of Yahweh), from which they were driven for their sin. Mankind in his subconscious mind however, is still hoping for a return to this blissful state of life from which he is now excluded, but most people simply do not wish to pay the price to achieve permanent happiness. Your Bible reveals just how man became excluded from this paradise, why it happened, and how he may return to this Edenic state. Your Bible contains the truthful answers to life’s problems and questions rather than the more popular philosophical suppositions.

"And they that shall be of you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in." (Isaiah 58:12).

"Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that sows seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt. And I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine of it; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them, says Yahweh your Elohim." (Amos 9:13–15).

"And it shall come to pass in that day, that the root of Jesse, that stands for an ensign of the peoples, to him shall the nations seek; and his resting-place shall be glorious." (Isaiah 11:6–10).

"And all your children shall be taught of Yahweh; and great shall be the peace of your children." (Isaiah 54:13).

"For then will I change to the peoples a pure language, that they may call upon the name of Yahweh, to serve him with one consent. From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring my offering." (Zephaniah 3:9–10).

I personally hope to be counted worthy to enter this Kingdom-of-Yahweh age. The term "paradise" actually means a garden of sensual pleasures. If we put to death our carnal, destructive lust now, we may enter into this garden in which we will be given the genuine pleasures that will not destroy, but will build up.

Why not come with us as we climb the upward pathway which will lead to the paradise of the Kingdom of Yahweh? You will never regret your decision to enter the Kingdom way of life!
