True Education
no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying; and there shall be no more
pain: for the former things have passed away.”
Revelation 22:1
;
22:2
,
RV;
21:4
.
Restored to God’s presence, the human race will again, as at the
beginning, be taught of Him: “My people shall know My name; ...
they shall know in that day that I am He who speaks: ‘Behold, it is
I.’”
Isaiah 52:6
.
There, when the veil that darkens our vision is removed, and
our eyes see that world of beauty of which we now catch glimpses
through the microscope; when we look on the glories of the heavens,
now scanned afar through the telescope; when, the blight of sin
removed, the whole earth shall appear in “the beauty of the Lord our

Isaiah 65:21, 22

be restored to their lost kingship, and the lower order of beings will
again recognize their authority; the fierce will become gentle, and
the timid trustful.
History of infinite scope and of wealth inexpressible will be open
to the redeemed. Here, from the vantage ground of God’s Word,
students are afforded a view of the vast field of history and may
gain some knowledge of the principles that govern the course of
human events. But their vision is still clouded, and their knowledge
incomplete. Not until they stand in the light of eternity will they see
[189]
all things clearly.
Then will be opened before the redeemed the course of the great
conflict that had its birth before time began, and that ends only
when time shall cease. The history of the inception of sin; of fatal
falsehood in its crooked working; of truth that, swerving not from
its own straight lines, has met and conquered error—all will be
made manifest. The veil that interposes between the visible and the
