A Statue Comes to Life!

The setting: the United Nations gardens in New York City. The plot: a dream symbolized by a statue becomes reality. The cast of characters: being chosen now...

by Ken Treybig

icon arrowSeveral sculptures and statues stand in the gardens around the United Nations headquarters buildings in New York. Donated by various countries over the years, these items represent the hopes and dreams of the world.

photoIn the middle of the last century, the Soviet Union donated a statue called "Let Us Beat Swords Into Plowshares." It symbolizes the desire of the United Nations and of the peoples of the world to put an end to war and convert destructive machinery into creative tools that will benefit all nations.

Since the United Nations came into existence in October 1945, some 50 million people have been killed in war. It's all but impossible to find an accurate number since each side in an armed conflict has its own reasons for inflating the casualties of the enemy or underestimating the number of its own dead. However, it is clear that the United Nations has utterly failed in its effort to eradicate war from our planet.

What if you could know for certain that the meaning of the "Let Us Beat Swords Into Plowshares" statue would become reality—that peace would break out all over the world? What if you found the code to a hidden secret that assured you a future of peace and prosperity was waiting for all peoples in all nations?

Would you be interested in unlocking such a code? Would you think such a find should be advertised and shared with others? Would you be willing to join in an annual celebration picturing that future time of joy and peace?

That's exactly what the fall feasts of God—particularly the Feast of Tabernacles—picture. (Be sure to read "The Festival Code: Unlocking the Future")
