"these times are like a third world war".Pope Francis
When one reads the Bible which is the History of the Israelites coupled with her historic experience with God;s pedagogic reconciliation with the human race which Started with Abraham and was accomplished with the advent of Jesus the Mesiah; one can not fail to logically conclude that war is the logical consequence of sin.
It was through war that the descendants of Israel (Jacob) received from GOD and settled in the land of Cana.Read the book of Josua.
This came as as the results of the sins (disgustings things )the original occupants (The cannanites, the Jebusites etc ) did what angered God. Leviticus 18; 24" Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these acts; for that is how the pagans made themselves unclean ;those pagans who lived in the land before you and whom the LORD is driving out so that you can go in".
What were those disgusting things?Leviticus 18;21-23 "Do not hand over any of your children to be used in the worship of the god molech,because that would bring disgrace to the name of GOD the LORD.No man is to have sexual relations with another man; GOD hates that.No man or woman is to have sexual relation with an animal......." Read this and more in all of Leviticus chapter 18.
While in the promise Land Israel didnot always respect the laws of God. That is why she was attacked looted destroyed and most of her children deported to foreign Lands.It was so with the Nortern Kingdom Israel in BC 722 and with the Southern Kingdom Judah in BC 605 and BC 587 when Jerusalem and the Temple were completly destroyed.
These did not come without warning .God did so through his messengers the prophets ,who included Isaah, Jerimia, Micah ; Amos.
Jerimia 2;34 "Your cloths are stained with the blood of the innocent not burglar"
Amos 6;14 The LORD GOD Almighty himself said "People of Israel , I am going to send a foreign army to occupy your country......."
Jerimia 4,16 "They have come to warn nations and to tell Jerusalem that enemies are comming from a country far . These enemies will shout against the cities of Judah and will surround Jerusalem...... because her people have rebelled aginst the LORD".The LORD has spoken
IN OUR TIMES WAR IS STILL THE CONSEQUENCE OF SIN
In 1917 while the first world war was raging The blessed Virgin Mary mother of Our LORD Jesus appeared to 3 Shepherd children in the Potuguise locality of FATIMA This was her message in brief "This war is as the result of sin, if man donot repent there will be a second and more devastating war and the second half of the 20th century shall be full of human made and natural dissasters that shall culminate to the third world war and before then a very important man shall be assasinated.She also said that communism which is anti Christ shall engulf the whole world if humanity do not repent and pray.
Practically all these prophesies came to pass( the assasination attempt on Pope John paul the seconds life is seen as the fulfilment of the 1917 prophecie)
Russia the founder of Communism which persecuted believers fo close tho 70 years is now the defender of the faith.This is interpreted ans a positive response by many believers to Marys call for repentance and prayers.These brought some hopes to some of us that the third world war can be avoided like what obtainbed of old in NINEVEH .
The 21st century has seen humanity fighting God !Disgusting things mentioned in Leviticus 18 are being promoted by world leaders , Politicians, Multinationals; Media etc The pressure is so strong and almost irresitible because they use powerfull lobbies anbd falacious canopy of human right, blackmail, corruption etc etc every thing is being done to drag the world into the worship of Satan.
Like Pope Francis one can logically conclude that "these times are like a third world war" and also "Christians should be ready for end times"
Hope is not lost in the assurance words of CHRIST "All power has been given to me in heaven and on earth"
Like the people of NINEVEH we need to repent and pray.
God save the human race
