What kind of world do you imagine?

Thanks for the link. John was imagining a better world, and so are we. I wonder if he had read the Bible? Maybe we'll see him in the future..

@buenavida John Lennon was an atheist.

@Berniezeitler Hey, Bernie!

Well, I am 1hopefulman. You can also be a hopeful man. "I hope you'll join us."

Are you a Bible reader?

@IreneVincent yes though an atheist - my readings are hypercritical

Here is a prophetic song, written by king David, and so far the prophecies in the Bible have been fulfilled:

@inertia4 Well, you might like what you find on jw.org about the prophecies that are fulfilled already.

@buenavida Well, I don't know about that. People make them happen. This world will never be united unless they learn that war and greed are just not worth it.

What do you think you will do in heaven?

@IreneVincent I am sure the Lord has that all planned out. I believe there will be things to do, not just lie around on a cloud playing a harp, as some people would like to think. The Scripture says we will rule and reign with Him.

Yes, truly to be with Jesus in the world to come is simply worth everything else in this world.

@trivia79 Soon the fantasy will become the reality and the reality will become just a bad, sad and distant memory. Remember Revelation 21:1-5? @IreneVincent Thanks for the link!

@IreneVincent thanks for the link

Who knows what he was really thinking, but I listened to the words very closely and I do wonder what he believed.

@IreneVincent You may be right. I was thinking he was just saying forget God (as you know, many religions think warfare, etc., is acceptable) and concentrate on being a so-called "good person."

@IreneVincent Yes. This is not new to me. But I know it has to be to many others.

See Psalm 37

A world of peace, love and unity is what the Bible is all about. It often speaks of a "new earth" because the changes will be so astounding and profound. If I may borrow the words of John from another song. "It won't be long yeah, yeah, yeah!" (It Won't Be Long)

Yes, the powers that be are at times enemies of world peace and unity. It is a divided world with many fanatics. However, I see a world where there will be only one government and a world-wide brotherhood. And no power that be, will be able to stop that dream and future reality.

@pgiblett Yes, it has to be and it will be totally different.

@1hopefulman I also envisage a time when there can be world-wide unity, but I do not envisage the government of that time being anything like the various governments of today.

That will be great!

It will happen. Psalms 37:9-11 Revelation 21:3, 4 God has promised it. He has a timetable. He has set a time for it to happen. We must WAIT. 2 Peter 3:8-13

Well, here is a song just for you.

@1hopefulman That was VERY NICE. I enjoyed listening to it.

@1hopefulman Thank you so much.

John Lennon was an amazing person. As far as I know, he was a man of peace but he was killed by a sick man. If I have a basket of 100 apples and only one apple is rotten. What will happen if someone does not remove the rotten apple? As we observe the world, we see that the destruction of the world is a constant threat, but world peace and unity is also possible. Which will take place? I think the answer lies in whether God exists. What do you think?

@JudyEv On some things I have done a lot of thinking to get to the bottom of things or as far as I can go in my limitations.

@1hopefulman I think you are right. :)

Without God, we ill never reach that goal but with God all is possible and the peaceful, united, loving world that some of us imagine and want, will happen!

Actually, in the short-run that will happen more and more but my visions are for the future.

You might enjoy reading this article: This is my hope for my children and grandchildren.

@1hopefulman Maybe in the short and long run.

In the world that I imagine, I'll be able to meet, sit and talk to John Lennon. Looking forward to that!

@1hopefulman Indeed it would be a great experience. May wishes come true if only in dreams!

@1hopefulman I like to quote Anne Johnston here, "I am looking forward to spending eternity in Heaven with the Lord Jesus and all the loved ones who have gone on before me." There sure is a higher power which we have not fathomed yet. Maybe something in the fifth dimension. But I guess it will be big enough to hold our beliefs and dreams.

There are forces at work that are bent on causing problems and on causing destruction. It seems that only God can remove those forces and teach us how to live as one united world. Looking forward to that world!

God has promised to make it better. There is a reason the world is like it is today and it's not God's fault. The Bible explains it all.

If there is a God (and I believe ther is One), then one day there will be only one religion and the world will truly be one.

There will be a PERFECT new world. God has promised it. All religions will NEVER be at peace with each other, but all PEOPLE will be at peace with each other in that new world, where there will be only ONE TRUE religion. Jesus said at Matthew 7:13, 14 "Go in through the narrow gate because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it, whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it." Ephesians 4:3-6 "One body there is, and one spirit, even as you were called in the one hope to which you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all persons..." The Bible says at 1 Timothy 3:1 "that in the last days critical times will be here" and describes what people will be like in the following verses and then in verse 5 it says that some people will have "a form of godly devotion but" will prove "false to its power and from these," true worshippers of God are told to "turn away." 2 Corinthians 6:14-17 tells us not to "become unevenly yoked with unbelievers..." "and then we are told to "get out from among them and separate yourselves and quit touching the unclean thing." What do YOU think those scriptures indicate?

Nimefurahi sana kukutana nawe. Ingawa hatuzungumzi lugha moja, bila shaka utakubaliana name kwamba kuna matatizo mengi maishani. Je, ungependa kuishi wakati ambapo hakutakuwa na chuki, magumu, na hata magonjwa na kifo? Read this wonderful article in your own language at:

It is one of very favorite songs of all time!

God has promised to end wickedness in this world. Psalms 37:9-11 says "Just a little while longer and the wicked will be no more....but the meek ones themselves will possess the earth and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace."

Could it be about what it says in 1 John 5:19 New International Version (NIV) 19 We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.

It's a beautiful song with great ideals. What do you like about it? Did you notice that many of the thoughts parallel the Holy Scriptures?

@Hannihar Please listen to it more carefully and please share your thoughts on the desires expressed in the song.

@1hopefulman Felix, I have to listen to the song more closely now to see. I just like the lyrics. I will have to think about that.
