IPharadesi ngeke lifane nalo mhlaba esiphila kuwo manje. UNkulunkulu wayengafuni ukuba umhlaba ugcwale izinkathazo nokudabuka, ubuhlungu nokuhlupheka. Esikhathini esizayo uNkulunkulu uyokwenza umhlaba ube ipharadesi. Liyoba njani iPharadesi? Ake sibone ukuthi iBhayibheli lithini:
Abantu abalungile. EPharadesi kuyohlala abangane bakaNkulunkulu. Bayokwenzelana izinto ezinhle. Bayophila ngokuvumelana nezindlela zikaNkulunkulu zokulunga.—IzAga 2:21.

Ukuthula emhlabeni kabanzi. Abantu ngeke besalwa futhi bafele empini. IZwi likaNkulunkulu lithi: “[UNkulunkulu] wenza ukuba izimpi ziphele.”—Impilo enhle.
