Coming - The End Of War

Our society exerts many forms of pressure to keep us in line. Peer pressure in one of the strongest. It forces us to conform and chastises us when we don't. Another is economic, it pressures us to live within the confines of the money or credit available to us. I am painfully aware that this economic system of ours is the taskmaster of our enslavement. There is no true freedom in our present world system. It presses down heavily on people crushing them under it's weight. Our chains of bondage are built with links of fear. We don't do because we are afraid to and we do because we are afraid not to. We are puppets with invisible strings which gives us the illusion that we are free. We are aided in this by our education, religion and entertainment systems. We are blinded to any alternative and there is only two ways out. One is death and the other is by an act of our Creator when He calls us to take part in the preparation for the new way of life that is coming. One that is going to replace six thousand years of systems created by man under the influence of Satan, the god of this world who has blinded men's minds. 2Cor 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ

The way of life that man has established is filled with pain and suffering. War and disease kills and maim's us. We must fight for what we want or to keep what we have. Oh, it's not always called war. It is most often call competition. We are forced to compete for almost everything. We compete for the affection of those we are attracted to. We compete for jobs and promotions. We even have to compete to get the education we need to compete. We are told that competition is a trait of a free society. Competition is a form of war. A war to acquire or achieve what we want. In this war we are led around by our lustful and greedy desires like a carrot on a stick drives a donkey forward. Because we lack any alternative we believe that this is good and that it is true freedom. It is not the freedom that Jesus spoke of when he said that "you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free".

Happily the days are coming when a new system will govern this world. Isa 2:4 And he shall judge between the nations, and shall reprove many peoples: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
