“Beauties of the Truth,” Volume 19, Number 3, August 2008;

Nine-tenths of Jesus’ persecutions came from professors of religion. R374:3 Are we willing to bear the hatred and scorn, which loyalty to the truth brings? If so, we can go forth in his name, rejoicing as we go. R5441:6 If any man suffer as a Christian—for the truth’s sake, for righteousness’ sake—let him not be ashamed. (1 Pet. 4:16) R2782:1 An evidence of our faithfulness and sonship. R5544:3 Especially has this been true of these last days. R5773:3 The path to glory, honor, and immortality, in the footsteps of Jesus, is a very rugged one. R5465:6 If any of us is escaping persecution, he should feel fearful of his condition and make careful examination as to whether or not he is faithful to all the privileges and opportunities he can find. R4407:2, 5227:5; OV438:1*; Q740:4, 361:6 The Lord’s followers in the present time are called to suffer persecution for righteousness’ sake, not because it is either reasonable or proper, but because the Lord, wishing to test, prove, and polish his people, is willing to permit the evil. R4813:6, 2415:2 If we know that we are suffering for righteousness’ sake, then we know the spirit of God rests upon us. R5395:5, 5227:5 We are still in this time of persecution; the great Adversary is not yet bound. R2437:3 In proportion as he receives the truth and faithfully declares it. R1467:5 Those faithful to God during this age will have more hardship than have those who are unfaithful. R5294:5

the scenes of misery and woe, degradation and sorrow that yet prevail on account of sin, and picture before your mental vision the glory of the perfect earth.

Not a stain of sin mars the harmony and peace of a perfect society; not a bitter thought, not an unkind look or word; love, welling up from every heart, meets a kindred response in every other heart, and benevolence marks every act.

There sickness shall be no more; not an ache nor a pain, nor any evidence of decay-not even the fear of such things.

Think of all the pictures of comparative health and beauty of human form and feature that you have ever seen, and know that perfect humanity will be of still surpassing loveliness. The inward purity and mental and moral perfection will stamp and glorify every radiant countenance. Such will earth's society be; and weeping bereaved ones will have their tears all wiped away, when thus they realize the resurrection work complete. - Revelation 21:4
