Matthew 24:6 And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
It’s fighting and more fighting, it’s war and more war as nations, individuals, and governments duke it out in retaliation for wrongs done. Israel is now fighting Hamas, America and Britain are fighting the Houthis and Russia, and Ukraine are going for each other’s jugular with no end in sight.
In the meantime, there is saber rattling between the Chinese and Taiwanese, and North Korea continues to threaten South Koreans, while various factions in Sudan are duking it out, and problems continuing to plague Haiti, Nicaragua, and Ecuador. The low road of Tit for Tat methods just isn’t working. It cannot!
In other words, when compared side by side, God’s ways and means, His principles, His instructions, and the laws which God instructs His peculiar people to adopt, are not only much more superior than tit for tat principles, but are also much more effective in bringing about the desired outcomes of peace and tranquility.
James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
