The Bible’s answer
Peace on earth will come, not by human efforts, but by means of God’s Kingdom, a heavenly government ruled by Christ Jesus. Notice how the Bible teaches us about this wonderful hope.
- God will make “
wars to cease to the extremity of the earth,
” fulfilling his promise to bring “peace on earth to those with whom he is pleased!
”—Psalm 46:9; Luke 2:14, Good News Translation. - God’s Kingdom will rule from heaven over the entire earth. (Daniel 7:14) As a world government, it will eliminate nationalism, which is at the root of many conflicts.
- Jesus, the Ruler of God’s Kingdom, is called the “
Prince of Peace,
” and he will ensure that “to peace there will be no end.
”—Isaiah 9:6, 7. - People determined to keep fighting will not be allowed to live under the Kingdom, since “
anyone loving violence [God’s] soul certainly hates.
”—Psalm 11:5; Proverbs 2:22. - God teaches his subjects how to live in peace. Describing the results of this instruction, the Bible says: “
They will have to beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore.
”—Isaiah 2:3, 4.
Already, millions of Jehovah’s Witnesses around the world are learning from God how to be peaceable. (Matthew 5:9) Although we belong to many different ethnic groups and live in over 230 different lands, we refuse to take up arms against our fellow man.
