‘A Better World is Near’

Special Worldwide Campaign Brings Positive Message to Community

Genci Muda, of Dunedin, worked hard for his family but still felt something was missing. He worried that he had his priorities wrong and that there just had to be something more to life than making money. “I was unhappy because I was always away from my family working,” he said. “I didn’t even know the color of my house because of leaving and coming home in the dark and I rarely saw my daughter.”

Dunedin will be one of the thousands of communities around the globe that received a powerful message of hope this past November as Jehovah’s Witnesses embarked upon a special campaign focusing attention on the Bible’s hope for a better world.

The goal of the campaign was to distribute a special edition of The Watchtower magazine containing the cover series, “A Better World is Near.” More than 36 million printed copies of the magazine were distributed in some 230 languages to communities in 240 lands around the globe. In addition, the digital publication is available on various platforms in nearly 400 languages.

“People are longing to hear a positive message and this is the best news possible,” said Robert Hendriks, U.S. Spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses. “A better world is not just a dream, it’s inevitable. In fact, it is the central theme of the entire Bible.”

The magazine addresses the age-old “doomsday” question “Is this world going to end?” with a comforting answer that may surprise many readers. While many religions have predicted the “end of the world,” the magazine reveals the Bible’s clear message: the earth is here forever and will never end! However, the magazine also explains the powerful truth that wickedness will soon be gone, quoting the Bible book of Psalms where it promises that the “lawless one” will be no more. (Psalm 37:10, Rotherham translation)

This positive message has been the hope of millions around the world who have prayed for ‘God’s Kingdom to come,’ a familiar refrain of many Christians taught by Jesus in what some refer to as the Lord’s Prayer.

Muda, mentioned earlier, began studying the Bible and joined his wife and daughter in helping others know about a better world ahead. He said that he is much happier “now I have hope for a better future.”

The Dunedin resident said he now realizes that being rich spiritually is far more valuable than just being rich financially.

The Watchtower has been carrying a similar message about God’s Kingdom for more than 100 years and remains the most widely translated and circulated magazine in the world. The 2021 number two edition is available free online at jw.org, where anyone can also request a free printed copy by scrolling down on the homepage to “Request A Visit.”
