Death will be no more (Rev. 21:4).

What can we tell people to assure them that God will keep his promise that the Earth will be a paradise?

First, it is Jehovah himself who makes the promise. Revelation says: “He who sits on the throne said, ‘Look! I am making all things new.’” He wants to fulfill his promise and has the wisdom and power to do so.

Second, Jehovah is so certain that his promise will be fulfilled that he speaks of it as if it had already happened. That is why he says of his words: “They are faithful and true.” And he adds: “They have already come true!”

Third, when Jehovah begins something, he finishes it. This is confirmed by the phrase “I am the Alpha and the Omega” (Rev. 21:6). Jehovah will prove Satan a liar and a failure.

So when someone tells you, “That’s too good to be true,” read and explain Revelation 21:5, 6. Show them that Jehovah has thus guaranteed the fulfillment of his promise; it is as if he had put his own signature on it. (Isa. 65:16) w23.11 7 pars. 18, 19.

Why might Satan have thought he could accuse Jehovah of being a failure?

What other option might have crossed the Devil's mind? Perhaps he thought Jehovah would allow Adam and Eve to have children, but that they would never be perfect (Eccl. 7:20; Rom. 3:23). If that had happened, Satan would surely have accused Jehovah of being a failure. Why? Because God's purpose could not be fulfilled; the earth would not be filled with perfect human beings.

What did Jehovah do to resolve the rebellion of Satan and the first humans, and how will it all end? (See also the image.)

The way Jehovah dealt with the rebellion of Satan and the first humans must have left Satan speechless (Ps. 92:5). By allowing Adam and Eve to have children, Jehovah demonstrated that he is not a liar, but that his word always comes true. And he also demonstrated that he is not a failure, but quite the opposite. How? He arranged for a “seed” to save the obedient descendants of Adam and Eve, and thus his purpose was carried out (Gen. 3:15; 22:18).

Satan would never have imagined that Jehovah would save humanity through a ransom. Why? Because a ransom is an act of pure love (Matt. 20:28; John 3:16). Satan is so selfish that he cannot feel that kind of love. So what will the ransom accomplish? At the end of the 1,000 years, the obedient and perfect descendants of Adam and Eve will live on the earth, transformed into a paradise, just as Jehovah intended from the beginning. At that moment, Jehovah will be able to say "Omega."

What could you do if someone finds it hard to believe that Earth will be a paradise?

Remember, every time you share with someone in the ministry about God's assurance, you will strengthen your own confidence in Jehovah's promises. So, if after reading the encouraging promise of Revelation 21:4 to someone, they say, "That's too good to be true," what could you do? A good idea would be to read and explain verses 5 and 6 to them. Show them that Jehovah has thus guaranteed the fulfillment of his promise; it is as if he had put his own signature on it.—Isa. 65:16
