SA46 - How Jehovah Guarantees
His Promise of Paradise

One sunny day, as a young woman strolled through the city, she stumbled upon a free-standing structure resembling a tiny house or box. It seemed to function as a communal book-sharing site, inscribed with a sign that read, "Take a Book, Share a Book." She wasn't accustomed to spotting these miniature libraries that popped up on certain street corners in various neighborhoods.

Sparked by curiosity, she approached the small wooden box and, after carefully examining it, opened the door and read the titles of the books on the shelves. As she perused the tittles, she marveled at how anyone passing by could just take a book to read or leave a book for others to enjoy, all without charge.

The more she looked, the less interested she became in the subjects she found on the shelves. That is, until she found, hidden away in the far back, a book that appeared to be an ancient and mysterious tome titled "The Infinite Story."

It was a remarkable collection of ancient writings that Christians believed to be God's revelation to his people. She wondered if this could possibly be the same book that some people considered to be the combination of letters inspired by the Greatest Storyteller, God. Stories that were alleged to outline his relationship with the masterpiece of his creation – human beings. As she carefully inspected it, it appeared that this was indeed the famous book, rumored to explain life and creation, and the complex relationship humans had with each other on earth.

The young woman, named Una, cradled the ancient book in her hands as she made her way home. The sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the city. As she turned the pages of "The Infinite Story," she felt a sense of awe and wonder, like stepping into a realm beyond time.

The Little Free Library had been a happy and beneficial discovery, a quaint box filled with literary treasures, and at its heart, she found a treasure unlike any other. Intrigued to uncover its secrets, she pulled the book out of her sack and quickly noticed that its leather cover was weathered, and its pages held the weight of centuries. As she started reading, she instantly understood what was written; the words within spoke of the divine, a gift from the Great Storyteller who carefully weaved his narrative explaining the origins of human existence.

Una's room became a sanctuary, a place where the ordinary (her surroundings) met the extraordinary (the delicate stories within the book's pages). With each reading, she delved deeper into the divine intricate combination of "The Infinite Story." It was as if each word had a life of its own that revealed new layers of meaning every time the reader explored its pages.

In the hush of her room, Una realized that this book was no ordinary book; it was a gateway to understanding the timeless relationship between the Creator and his creations. The tales unfolded like a symphony, with chapters that told the stories of long-forgotten ages. The pages, like the eternal echo of God's wisdom, seemed to stretch into infinity.

Each day that Una revisited the book, she marveled at its boundless wisdom. What was most remarkable was that the wisdom of these stories wasn't simply linear as with a tale with a fixed beginning and end. Instead, contained within these stories was a long-lasting revelation that unraveled endlessly, like a corkscrew. But unlike a corkscrew that goes round and around but doesn’t seem to get anywhere, she discovered that each time she opened the pages, it was like the first time as she understood new and deeper meaning than before. It was as if the text had been rewritten, when undoubtedly, it was her mind’s ability to understand that was being expanded with seemingly endless knowledge.

The parallels between God and "The Infinite Story" became increasingly apparent to Una. Both defied the constraints of time and comprehension. The more she read, the more she grasped the profound connection between the Author of the Universe and the words written on those ancient pages.

Days turned into nights, and Una found solace in the endless words of the book. It instantly became a companion on her journey of self-discovery, a guide through the labyrinth of human existence. Just as God's understanding was unbounded, so was the depth of insight hidden within the pages of "The Infinite Story."

As the book approached its final chapters, God declared, "I am the Alpha and the Omega." Alpha being the spark of creation, the very first note in the celestial symphony, and omega as the cosmic crescendo, the resounding last chord that echoes through eternity.

With this phrase, Jehovah beckoned towards a realm where every initiation seamlessly waltzes into a triumphant conclusion. In the prologue, Una noticed that God unfolded his original vision for humanity and the Earth – where one could envision it as his "Alpha" moment, the inception of a grand design.

Then she is given the image of the the finale where the Earth blooms into a paradise, a state of living in which everything is perfectly forged by the flawless legacy of obedient human descendants. This would be God's "Omega" moment, the magnum opus. God, a cosmic maestro, embodies both the beginning and the end, weaving a circle so complete, so perfect, it transcends the limits of numbers and notions. His narrative, "The Infinite Story," becomes a gateway to unbounded understanding, an exploration of his principles, an embrace of his boundless, selfless love for humankind, and a journey into the endless possibilities that ripple through the continuous, forever-flowing sequence of events in the future.

And so, in the small room illuminated by the soft glow of a reading lamp, Una continued her journey through "The Infinite Story." With each page turned, she embraced the notion that, much like the Creator it depicted, the book was a perpetual source of enlightenment, an endless cascade of hope that mirrored the boundless nature of God—the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
