I agree with Chase that we were talking tongue in cheek and comparing quotes. But the truth is the bounty of this great country was born out of War. The last Monday in May we will celebrate the sacrific that our brave soldiers have made to give us that bounty.

No body in their right mind wants to go to war. You are no different in your feelings and love for your son than any other father has been in the history of our country in any other war this country has ever fought in.

I have a son that is of Military age now. Do I want him to go to war? NO, I would rather go in his stead if it were needed and I could. But that is not the point.

If you are a Christian as I believe that you are, you must believe in a God that is an all powerful and an all knowing God. If he is not all powerful and all knowing, then he is not God.

If that is so, then it is only logical that all events which happen in the affairs of men on earth are known to God. For nothing is hidden from our God and he knows the end of all things. And that all things are within his will or he would not allow them to happen. For nothing happens outside of God's will contrary to what some would wish to believe. That includes bad things such as storms like we had here yesterday and even wars. Ever the death of God's own son was within God's will for Jesus himself said so. That wasn't pleasent but we recieved the bounty of that sacrific also.

God directed war to happen in the Old Testament when he instructed Joshua and the Isrealites to go into Cannan and wipe out the inhabitants there. He also used war to punish the Isrealites and Jews when he allowed them to be defeated in Battle and having them carried into captivity.

He again used war by the Romans in 70 A.D. to scatter the Jewish people and he used World War II to gather them together again. And another war in 1948 to reestablish their homeland. So just because God doesn't give personal invitation any more doesn't mean that he doesn't still work his will through the events in mans history? Even throught wars?

In fact God throught the prophets of the Bible has told us of one great future battle called Armagedon, of a coming war, that will cost the lives of more men that have been killed in all the past wars. This does not mean that God glorifies War. But God is a Rightous and a Just God and will judge mankind. And as the rain falls on both the farmer and the banker alike, so do the currects of all events that effects man. And sometimes those same rains come as floods.

I know that there are a lot of people who do not like the war we are presently engaged in. But tell me who can foretell the future and the purposes of God's will? Could it be that this is necessary that these events happen so that God can prepare for the events prophesied in the Book of Revelation and other end time events?
