War and violence on the Earth
by Don Koenig
Man, led by his pride, greed, covetous and hatred has a disease that is fatal. Adults and even children kill and hate each other because they want respect or because they want things that others have. Countries arm themselves to the teeth and war with each other because they want world respect or want the resources of others. Violent men come to power because the citizens want them to carry out their own hated on others and to satisfy their own lusts. Men kill others and themselves in the name of religion to appease their false god and then they think the Creator of the universe is obligated to fulfill their desires after they die.
The world wars that were fought to end all wars obviously did not. Even after the last two world wars man has become more inclined to violence and not less. Even greater wars loom on the horizon and threaten the very existence of mankind. Those in the 1960's who dreamed that their would be a utopian paradise on earth by the year 2000 now wake up to news reports each morning that confirms that their worst nightmares have become reality.
Jesus said at the time that He comes back it would be like it was in the days of Noah just prior to the flood. One characteristic of the time before Noah was that there was violence all over the earth. Jesus also said, if He did come to shorten these future days of violence on the earth, that no flesh would be saved.
Welcome to man's utopia:
- Millions have died in the ongoing tribal wars of central Africa in the last decade.
- Two million have died in the last two decades in the effort to eliminate Christians and bring Muslim law to all of the Sudan.
- Iran and Iraq have killed millions in their recent war against each other.
- The U.S. has fought two gulf wars against Iraq where over a hundred thousand people died.
- Israel has had to fight regular wars of survival against the Arabs.
- Iran is now on the verge of creating nuclear weapons and is supporting terrorism in Iraq, Israel, Afghanistan and elsewhere. The president of Iran claims that Iran intends to destroy Israel.
- Free democratic elections in the Middle East brings terrorist groups into power that call for the destruction of Israel. The Palestinian territories may soon have their own terrorist state.
- Islamic Fascists killed over three thousand people by crashing civilian aircraft into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon in America.
- There have been tens of thousands of terrorist attacks since 9/11 and the vest majority are carried out by Islamic Fascists.
- Thousands have died in the war to overthrow the dictator of Libya and the country is now run by terrorists.
- Hundreds of thousands have been killed in the war against Assad of Syria and the resistance produced the terrorist state named ISIS that will probably bring about a third world war if it is not soon destroyed.
- Islamic Fascists have killed thousands in the bombings and terrorist actions in Russia.
- In the U.S. the inner cities are run by murderous gangs and criminals.
- Drugs and terrorists are being smuggled from Mexico across sovereign U.S. land along with millions of illegal immigrants. The drugs kill thousands each year as do the illegal immigrants and the potential for violence by terrorists is enormous but the U.S. government does nothing to protect its border or its people.
- Over two million people are in jail in the U.S. and 16,000 people are murdered each year and about half of the men in prison now convert to radical Islam for self protection and to get respect.
- Parts of South America are run by drug lords who have murdered thousands.
- Mexico and other central American nations have large areas controlled by drug gangs that have killed thousands.
- Parts of South America are again going socialist and they proclaim outright hated for the United States.
- Kidnapping for ransom is rampant in parts of Central and South America, Mexico, parts of Africa, some European countries and Russia.
- In Asia war looms between China and Taiwan, N. Korea and S. Korea, and India and Pakistan.
- ISIS radicals are spreading all over Asia and the world and they plans to kill hundreds of millions.
- Russia is now overrun by criminals and the government is moving back toward dictatorship, cold war rhetoric and even thoughts of a new Soviet Union.
- Hundreds of millions of babies have been killed by abortion and infanticide in this generation.
Signs of the time
War and violence is on the increase in many places on the earth. Islam has brought hatred and violence to many nations in the name of Allah. Violence and hatred against non Muslims is being taught to children in many Muslim nations and homes. The violence spawned by Islamic fascists will only increase in the world. The statistics indicate that Islamic fascists have already started a worldwide war. Drug wars are destabilizing the Americas. People are rioting in cities all over the world because of religion and covetousness.
We are now in a world with no absolute values. Everyone does what is right in their own eyes. The only possible outcome is total chaos. This generation will reap the consequences of pride, greed, covetousness and hatred. The predicted violence that will be on the earth in the last days is now a reality and further increases in violence in the decade or two that remain is a forgone conclusion.
