In the four scriptural journeys to a "promised land" [Children of Israel, Jaredites, Lehi/Nephi group and the LDS pioneers], we can draw spiritual parallels in our earthly journey back to the presence of our Heavenly Father. However, I find it interesting that in these accounts, the "promised land" was not a promise of rest and peace. It was, for the most part, a new set of problems and difficulties! As I think about it, I think this also fits. Heavenly Father does not have it easy. He doesn't have to fight evil within Himself, for He is perfect, but is active in the battle with His children. Likewise, I don't think that it is going to be "R & R" in the Celestial Kingdom, but that we will be very busy and still combating the forces of evil. Sure there will be periods of respite, but even the peaceful Millenium doesn't last forever...evil rears its ugly head again. --J. Lisonbee 10/18/09
