I must say you got the spirit of this thread. I whole heartedly agree with your post. If you look at my original post I said I posted just a few of MANY encouraging scriptures from the bible. You have just added more encouraging scriptures from the bible. Thank you!

You are correct, it is only encouraging if you believe it. I respect and agree with that. I dont worry about what th WT says about it. All i know is that the bible says one day. one day.

a question that plagues everyone yes I would end it immediately if I had Gods Power, any human would for that matter. But then again at one point in time humans thought the earth was flat and if we came to close to the edge wed fall off. I firmly believe even if we were endowed with Gods power we would only make matters worse.

How is asking you why that text is a comforting one to all people in general taking this thread into "left field"? because I feel your leading me to say something specific to my belief that you can jump on. You are focusing on the world ALL and I know where you are trying to take me. remember JWS were trianed to lead people in coversations to get messages across.
No, I'm not "looking for an argument" but when someone starts a thread and asks for comments as you have, I feel invited to do so. Yes indeed i invited comments on if they feel it is comforting or not. You stated that it was comforting and thats awesome.
Now, about the content (did you mean context?) I must entirely agree - that's precisely why I was asking the (unanswered) questions and why I referred you to Revelation 7:17. Revelations 7:17 is not in context of Revelations 21;4-5 it is CONTENT. Context is an immediate surrounding of a perticular scripture.
Now, may I ask again, why is that text of such great comfort? Again because Gods Creation has been subjected to all sorts of turmoil, suffering due to the first human pair and the devil. God would like nothing better than to see the end of all this suffering heaped upon His creation. If you had kids wouldnt you want to see an end and help end thier suffering? That scripture i posted was an assurance of just that. The end of Human suffering.

ozzie it seems to me you are looking for an arguement. Dont exactly know why. If you are a student of the Bible you should know that to understand the bible we need to consider subjects in content. Now you are taking this innocent thread off into another direction. I would be happy to discuss my thoughts on what your leading me to on another thread if youd like. My intial post was sincere and upfront. I posted what I feel to be encouraging scriptures and why and wanted peoples opinions. So far just a few gave me some honest opinions, crumpet to name one. I repsected her opinion in fact. You are taking this into left field.

I respect your opinion crumpet.Your right there is nothing wrong with dreaming of better things but along with that we need to work towards our dreams. Living healthy is an excellent idea. However that scripture ENCOMPASSES the wiping away of ALL the things that cause us to suffer. All the things that cause us to tear and cry out and be in pain and morn. And man! there are many things in life that tears us down

well ozzie you ask why i feel it is so comforting? In my reply to crumpet i stated why. Ok crumpet the one in Rev. 21:4-5 is one of my favorites because ALL humanity is touched by illness Illness and death is the cause of much human suffering, that is a fact and all of us are touched by it in some shape or form and i find it rather encouraging to know God sees that and will one day wipe it out!
