18 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing, for they shall see eye to eye when the Lord shall bring again Zion. (3 Nephi 16:18)
The world is full of so much confusion and disagreement. Everyone is constantly coming up with arguments and trying to prove their way right and other ways wrong. It's hard to know what sides to take sometimes - and it's very confusing when you want your personal beliefs to coincide with everything else you think about, be it morality, modesty, equality, etc.
Besides making me think of this song, which is happy in and of itself, this scriptural promise is comforting. First off, it is comforting in a sense of a future perspective, looking toward when the Lord will come again, rule, and the world will simply make more sense.
It's also hopeful in another way, though. The chapter summary says this will happen "when the Lord brings again Zion," which could very well be referring to what happens when people are close the the Lord. When we seek Him, He helps guide minds and hearts, and people tend to agree more. The Lord, through both His infinite wisdom and His astounding love for all of us, makes things match up.
Maybe love is the reason why
For the first time ever,
We're seeing it eye-to eye
