What mankind needs is social uplift to give hope and comfort to all those who are anxious and troubled by thoughts of the year 2000.

In the next age - the Millennial age - God will uplift the world to a degree that eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath entered into the heart of man, but which he has revealed to his faithful in his word.

God's word is full of promises respecting the glorious epoch, the golden age when "the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord"; when "every man shall sit under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid"; "when they shall not build and another inhabit"; but when home ownership shall be general; when "every high one shall be humbled" and "every lovely one shall be lifted up"; when "the Lord shall pour out his spirit on all flesh".

The apostle Peter speaks of that epoch as "times of refreshing" and "times of restitution" and declares that every holy prophet since the world began prophesied of that time and that it would begin at the second advent of our Lord Jesus Christ.
