It is sad that the our country is giving Saddam Hussein 48hrs to disarm. Who are we to tell anyone to leave his/her country. All this war and rumors of war is a foreshadow of our fate which is yet to come. In Deuteronomy 2, the Israelites wanted to go up into the hills to fight the Amorites, but the Lord said unto Moses: "Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am NOT among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies". Although we are the world's superpower, anything is possible when there is war. We could win, we could lose. America is desperate to keep her crown. All her currencies state: "In God We Trust"; yet she has forgotten that the same God who she trusts has already said in Ecclesiates that "To everything there is a season...". We need to stop bullying other nations and stop focusing on how we can "keep" our crown. We need to focus on how we can make peace. We cannot use war to make peace, which is what our President is doing. I mean...How can you fight fire with fire and expect to get water? So how can we use war to make peace? The lord has allowed America to rule for so long. However, she cannot do more than her time. All the superpowers that were before her has fallen. There's no reason for her to think that the battle with Iraq is hers'.
In St. Mark 13, "...one of his disciples said...Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! And Jesus...said..., Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down...And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; FOR IN THOSE DAYS SHALL BE AFFLICTION, SUCH AS WAS NOT FROM THE BEGINNING OF CREATION WHICH GOD CREATED UNTO THIS TIME, NEITHER SHALL BE". This world is not meant to be forever. All earthy things are temporary, including POWER. All I can say to everyone is to watch and pray, put on the whole armor of God, and choose who you will serve this day. I'm not saying that we will lose the battle to Iraq, but as I said earlier everything that's going on is a surety that our season is yet to come. We claim that we are the "United States of America", but we're not united. Therefore, a house divided against itself will not stand. Eventually this house will reap not only what she sows from the outside but also from the inside. People, wake up and pay attention to the time in which we live. Rev 17v10: "And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other not yet come..." Which king is next? Whatever is meant to be, will be. We just have to fear the Lord with all our hearts'.
