When the Desert Shall Blossom
By Editor
One of Pastor Russell's syndicate sermons has been sent us, asking our opinion of the statement that what men are doing now in the way of irrigation is a fulfilment of the promises of the Bible that the desert shall blossom as the rose, etc. Of course such statements as that, to the diligent Bible reader, are a long way from the truth. When that time comes that the desert shall rejoice, and blossom like the rose, it will be when the new heavens and the new earth have come forth from the creative power of God, and the curse of sin is forever blotted from the earth. Men with nature do wonderful things now, material dreams of things to be, but the very best that men can do will not compare with the sinless new earth which comes through the creative power of Christ.
