Gaza is burning and the entire world is in focus but then there still is no solution to the problem. Over three thousand years ago the same people that are setting fire on Gaza and at the same time sending rockets to blast Israel are the same people who are today setting the area ablaze, Israel and the Palestinians. In this same area the popular King of Israel. the young shepherd boy David brought down Goliath the Philistine hero who for forty days held Israel to ransome and insalted the God of Israel. Today, the young men of Palestine are still throwing stones against the Israeli army as if saying, if David killed our ancestor Goliath with stone, then it is time to kill your heroes with stones.
Unfortunately, a more sophisticated weapon of war is now being used in the acts of warfare. Do not let us underrate the power of stones as a weapon and the miracle that could accompany it. Though if it is all about throwing stones it would have been better but the devastating instruments of war in use are making the entire war jittery and yet nobody can stop the carnage permanently.
There is protest match now across the globe against Israel continuous bombing of Gaza and the death roll going higher. Women and children and the civilian population baring the blunt of the fatal condition of war. As the question is being asked, "who can stop it" The answer is nobody. Not even reasoning or human compasion. The area is a battle invested domain and it will continue to burn until there is divine intervention. Not even Obama who many are calling upon to speak out against the carnage. What bush could not accomplish in Gaza not even a thousand Obama can. No matter how many mouths yell the slogan "Yes we can" the carnage in the Middle East and every other volatile domain of the world will continue. The bible specifically states clearly; "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape."1Th,5:3. Human dipomatic moves will not work because each time we sit around the table to negotiate for peace it is always with deceit and hidden bitterness at the back of our mind. This is what we call dipomacy.
Israel is an instrument in the hand of God and the earlier the Arab nations face the fact that Israel has come to be a Nation and nothing can change this. Israel also should know for sure that even though they are once more a nation, it is not for their sake but to prepare the the domain for the second coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ who they crucified that the purpose of the redemption programme of God be brought to fulfilment. They are only playing their historic role as the pen and paper with which God sends His message and revelation of His divine programme to the entire world.
The only hope that man has for peace is to look forward to the arrival of the Prince of Peace whose government shall destroy all instruments of war and reshape the heart of men from violence to a peaceful one thereby bringing the kingdom of God to manifestation.
"And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
And many people shall say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountains of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us his ways, and will walk in his path: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spares into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation,neither shall they learn war any more."Is.2:2-4
