As I sit at my computer in our office, and gaze at the view from my window, I marvel at the peace and tranquility I observe. We are safe and serene here in our new condo; but around the world wars wage. The Russian invasion of Ukraine continues. Now we have Hamas terrorists yelling "Allahu akbar" as they invade Israel. There are fears that Hezbollah may also attack Israel. Under Iran's influence they fight a proxy war to wipe the Jews off the map. We pray for peace each day. We pray for comfort and safety for the innocent. We pray for healing for those who have lost loved ones. We pray for wisdom for the leaders who want peace. We pray for first responders.
God tells us in His word to pray about everything. He also tells us to go and make disciples. So as wars wage we bring comfort to those we can and tell them that this isn't the real story. Jesus will return soon to rule-- we will have true peace then. Man cannot bring peace-- only Jesus can and He will.
I believe that all the prophecies in the Bible have been fulfilled-- except for the prophecy about Damascus. I trust that when Damascus is destroyed Jesus will return.
Isaiah 17 An oracle concerning Damascus.1 Behold, Damascus will cease to be a city and will become a heap of ruins.
