World Peace
Gunter L08-Jul-23
Do you think that there will ever be a time when the whole world is at peace? Judging by past history the chances are slim.

          Now I know how Noah felt while he and his family were building the ark before the flood came, and he was trying to warn people of the coming destruction, but they, "...took no note..." Please read Matthew 24:37-39, or, better yet, read the whole chapter of Matthew 24! I know how he felt...The answer to the question about world peace is, YES, but it's Jesus and his army that will do away with evildoers, not man!

              I would like to hope so but I some how doubt this will ever happen because too many people want their hand on the trigger to be controlling over others and ultimately world domination.

              No, because people want power, fame and money.

                      No, there will always be problems if this kind because there are people on this world who want things their way & have the money to back it.

                        I'd like to think so...but I think the effects of climate change will take us out long before peace reigns.

                        The meek shall inherit the earth and delight themselves in the abundance of peace. The Bible assures us there is a time of peace coming after the Lord Jesus Christ returns when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.

                                              Not all the time mankind is in charge. People can't even decide on the type of government they want, conservative, liberal, communist, fascist and at just about every election the governments change. The bible says man can't even direct his footsteps so how can he be expected to govern himself. We need God's government, and a new system, and it is coming soon.

                                                    A wise old gypsy said way back when or whenever "while the world is still the world, it will forever just get worse and and worse". Hope I have done justice to the translation from Hungarian, anyway there seems to be some truth in the madness of the sentiment!

That was 76 years ago and not much has changed I say. I personally cannot ever see real peace. Hope I am wrong...

So many innocent lives lost from greedy, insecure men who lust for power. Millions of both men, women & children sacrificed for what? Look at Ukraine, such a disaster homes and infrastructure destroyed. Where is GOD in all this why can't he solve the problem how can one believe when you see poor little children dying. What hope do we have if it becomes nuclear? Oh those in power will be ok they will be protected in their bunkers!!!! So sad.

As long as people experience jealousy or fear of missing out (FOMO), pride, greed, controlling, manipulative or bullying behaviour (whether that's physical or gossip etc) then we will always have wars because this is the stuff wars are made of. Seeing as toddlers experience a lot of these then its probably in our DNA and when you look at examples of other creatures on earth you see that plundering is the norm though humans have a lot more destructive power.

The reason I think is it's difficult all the different nations to come to an agreement under one agenda or a platform, whether it's PEACE or anything else they will all pull in different directions causing any agenda to be shattered!😍 You and Me have to find PEACE within ourselves to live in PEACE until we die!

Down the millenia just who is it who has been responsible for the endless Wars, Terror Regimes, Slavery, Promotion of Hatred, Discrimination and in more recent years Terrorism? Well, here are a few examples. Kings, Queens, Emperors, Popes, Archbishops, Bishops and other Religious Leaders and to them we must always add Politicians, be they left, Right, Centre they are the cause of it all. In the three so-called "Western" or Mosaic Religions, namely Judaism, Christtianity and Islam they and their leaders down the centuries have been, and continue to be, responsible. This despite all three having as the very basis of their Religion one set of Rules, which they claim were dictated directly by the deity they variously call Jahweh, God, Dieu, Deo and Allah to Moses. The Ten Commandments. Judaism and Islam obey the First of those Commandments: You will have no other God but me. Christianity on the other hand broke that Most Important of all Commandment when they Voted to declare Jesus to be a Deity and then used weasel words to justify their blasphemy!. The members and the Leaders of all three gleefully and without a shred of conscience regularly break the Commandments which state "You shall not Kill", "You shall not covet your neighbours land and all that is his", "You shall not commit Adultery", "You shall not steal". They break every single Commandment at will and then claim "Jahweh/God/Allah is on our side" Move to the modern leaders of the World, our Politicians. have a look at what is going on today in Ukraine. The Russian Dictator, Vladimir Putin, openly supported by the head of the Russian Orthodox Christian Church, illegally invaded Ukraine and has now murdered thousands of innocent men, women and children. Nor must we forget succdessive presidents of that self-proclaimed Christian nation the United States of America. They also illegally invaded a sovereign nation when they, supported by Australia's own then Prime Minister and Foreign Minister John Howard and Alexander Downer, illegally invade Iraq, an invcasion which, like Putin, they justified based upon known Lies. The list is endless. Thanks to the USA and it's allies such as Australia, the not-so-United Kingdom and other opened the gates to International Terrorism. Look at Israel. They were give land in the then British Protectorate of Palestine (some protection that proved to be thanks to the politicians) and since then Israel has been Illegally Occupying vast swathes of country which is not theirs. So much for their obedience to the 10 Commandments! Whilst any of the current World Leaders - be they from the East, West North or South - behave as they do there will never, ever be World Peace simply because they don't want it.
