But under the new order of things funerals will cease,
undertakers will seek a more pleasing employment, and the hearses will
be changed from vehicles of sorrow to equipages of pleasure. "There
shall be no more death."--Rev. 21:4.
[609]Families have been torn asunder and each member has borne his or her
sorrow until claimed by the grave; but under the new order families will
be reunited, parents will be brought back to the children, and children
to the parents, and they shall dwell together in happiness.--1 Corinthians
15:22,23.
[610]No more will the poor be vainly hunting for a habitation or fleeing
from greedy landlords, because then, as God has promised, the people
shall 'build houses and live in them; they shall not build for another
to live in but then every man shall have his own habitation and every
man shall sit under his own vine and fig tree and none shall make them
afraid'.--Isaiah 65:21-23; Micah 4:4.
[611]At that time there will be full liberty to do right, because right
will always be encouraged. Every one will have the liberty to do all the
good he can. There will be no secret service men nor espionage laws
under the reign of Messiah. This will result in the development and
exhibition of the beauty of character. Justice will prevail amongst men;
they will become wise concerning the things pertaining to their welfare
and happiness.
