3. Suppose now the fulness of time to be come, and the prophecies to be accomplished, what a prospect is this? All is _peace, quietness, and assurance for ever_. Here is no din of arms, no _confused noise_, no _garments rolled in blood_. _Destructions are come to a perpetual end_: wars are ceased from the earth. Neither are there any intestine jars remaining; no brother rising up against brother; no country or city divided against itself, and tearing out its own bowels. Civil discord is at end for evermore, and none is left either to destroy or hurt his neighbour. Here is no oppression to _make_ even _the wise man mad_; no extortion to _grind the face of the poor_; no robbery or wrong; no rapine or injustice; for all are _content with such things as they possess_. Thus _righteousness and peace have kissed each other_; they have _taken root and filled the land_: righteousness flourishing out of the earth, and _peace looking down from heaven_. 4. And with righteousness or justice, mercy is also found. The earth is no longer _full of cruel habitations. The Lord hath destroyed both the blood-thirsty_ and malicious, the envious and revengeful man. Were there any provocation, there is none that now knoweth, to _return evil for evil_: but indeed there is none that doeth evil, no not one; for all are _harmless as doves_. And being _filled with peace and joy in believing_, and united in one body, by one spirit, they all _love as brethren_, they are all _of one heart and of one soul. Neither saith any of them, that ought of the things which he possesseth is his own._ There is none among them that lacketh; for every man loveth his neighbour as himself. And all walk by one rule, _Whatever ye would that men should do unto you, even so do unto them_. 5. It follows, that no unkind word can ever be heard among them: no _strife of tongues_, no contention of any kind, no railing or evil-speaking; but every one _opens his mouth with wisdom, and in his tongue there is the law of kindness_. Equally incapable are they of fraud or guile: their _love_ is _without dissimulation_: their words are always the just expression of their thoughts, opening a window into their breast, that whosoever desires may look into their hearts, and see that only love and God are there.
