Por ejemplo Dios nos promete eliminar la muerte, en Revelación o Apocalipsis 21:4 dice que “Dios limpiara toda lagrima de los ojos y la muerte no será más”. Y en Hechos 24:25 habla de “una Resurrección”. Estas promesas Jehova Dios las cumplirá muy pronto, ademas nos dice que tiene el deseo de devolverles la vida a nuestros seres queridos que hayan muerto.
