Dear Tim: I would want to know if, in translation, there is a difference
between "world of the Kingdom" and "next world". Sometimes, I believe,
"next world" is equivalent to "world to come" which in turn refers to the
next Manifestation.
Richard.
Abdu'l Baha has written:
"". . . the tests and trials of God take place in this
world, not in the world of the Kingdom." (Selections from the Writings of
`Abdu'l-Baha, p. 194)
If there are no tests and trials in the next world, does that mean there is
also no free will? Most of the troubles in this world are the result of
people exercising free will.
