Oh dear, oh dear! For some weeks now, there has been tension on the Russian-Ukrainian border as the international news media rave and rant about a potential conflict between the two countries. A conflict that could plunge the whole Europe, Asia, and the Americas into a global 3rd World War. There is also the boiling tension between China and Taiwan, China and India, etc…
The coronavirus pandemic is hardly over and all that global leaders can think of, is how to start another war and further deplete an already tired and depressed population! Why Russia is interested in invading Ukraine, is still strange …as well as the Russians claim they aren’t interested in invading Ukraine. I sincerely wish they mean their words; for Hitler gave the same vague assurances.
“Satan delights in war, for it excites the worst passions of the soul and then sweeps into eternity its victims steeped in vice and blood. It is his object to incite the nations to war against one another; for he can thus divert the minds of the people from the work of preparation to stand in the day of God”.
I couldn’t agree more with this author of the “Great Controversy“, for what wisdom lies in starting a war at this time if not for fiendish ends?
“Satan works through the elements also to garner his harvest of unprepared souls. He has studied the secrets of the laboratories of nature, and he uses all his power to control the elements as far as God allows. When he was suffered to afflict Job, how quickly flocks and herds, servants, houses, children, were swept away, one trouble succeeding another as in a moment. It is God that shields His creatures and hedges them in from the power of the destroyer.
But the Christian world have shown contempt for the law of Jehovah; and the Lord will do just what He has declared that He would—He will withdraw His blessings from the earth and remove His protecting care from those who are rebelling against His law and teaching and forcing others to do the same. Satan has control of all whom God does not especially guard. He will favor and prosper some in order to further his own designs, and he will bring trouble upon others and lead men to believe that it is God who is afflicting them.”
Evidently, someone is baying for the blood of humanity, for another war will quickly kill billions… no one knows what tomorrow will bring on this God-forsaken planet, but we can only pray for God’s mercy and abundant grace…that this world is spared another devastating conflict. Let’s keep praying for our peace on this turbulent planet🙌.
