PEACE IN OUR TIME?
http://news.sky.com/story/aleppo-under-siege-a-timeline-10613396
WIth the ever expanding surge for power in the middle east of both the Syrian Government and it’s Russian backed allies, the interference of the former Obama led coalition, and the tribal factions of middle eastern interests, there has never been a way forward for peace for the citizens of Syria.
The News of today is in reality “olds” and never good in a troubled world plagued with it’s own self-perpetuating evils, but the real news, the news forecast by the greatest broadcaster of all time, The Christ spoke b y many of His servants in former times, showing what was to come in our time!
This may seem astonishing to those without Biblical training and understanding, but take just a moment to consider what one of this servants under His mighty inspiration wrote back in Isa.57:21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
If there ever was a peaceful way forward as the U.N led by Kofi Annan, and now Ban-ki moon have intimated by their political and left-leaning posturing clearly showed their ignorance in all of this, why are the citizens women and children, not to mention the men.
It is with little doubt that many of the problems that have continually besieged Syria, are self-perpetuating in the violence perpetrated on both sides.
In this, there can be no “winners”! War is an ugly business in which the “victors” bear the shame of their power-hungry desires, and reflect the ugly truth that mankind has been guilty of the atrocities of war throughout his entire sad history from the very beginning of his short sojourn here on earth.
Everyone will surely remember the heart-rending picture of the little 5-year old boy rescued in the rebel held district of Qatarj. Thankfully, his other 2-siblings as well as his mother and father were saved after an airstrike partially destroyed their apartment building.
Did this touch the hearts of the attacking Russians or Syrians, or the rebels to put down their weapons? No it did not!
In the meantime, many of the so-called civilized nations have threatened sanctions against Russia, which is less than a slap with a wet fig leaf on the wrist , like a fly to be swatted away, and still the west sits on their collective hands while atrocities unfold every day through this bloody campaign of terror against citizens whose only hope is for peace for their children and extended families.
This does not take away the part the rebels have had, and those assisting them, as already mentioned, but clearly, with men, their Governments, their power bases, their thoughts and their ways are never going to bring about peace, ever!
The wars that are never ending for man kind can only be cut short by a power greater than the sum of mankind, that is the LORD and Creator thereof, and there is a time coming that humanity will learn peace, but before that time will come a great tribulation of world war that this greatest of broadcasters foretold! Who was He?
Nah_1:15 Behold, upon the mountains, the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace! …….
Exo_15:3 The LORD is a man of war; the LORD is his name. Yes, He is bringing real war, but not to take anything from anyone, but to give mankind the opportunity to remove himself from war forever and ever. Yet war is inevitable to bring about the everlasting peace the Great God will bring about by His power, and has foretold that in the time to come what humanity are NOT READY FOR!
Mat 24:21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be.
Mat 24:22 And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.
This time of Global War will bring about famine, disease and sickness, the loss of loved ones, and great sorrow. But any who are prepared to begin listening now, repent of their sinful lives, get back to the faith God brought at the 1st appearing of Jesus Christ, and do works appropriate for repentance, He will save!
THAT TIME FOR SALVATION IS NOW! Take heed, and save yourselves from this untoward generation while the LORD may be found, and remember the following words of this Great Broadcaster who said via His servant;
Psa_119:165 Great peace have those who love your law; nothing can make them stumble.
