“Making Peace Begins With Settling Differences”

Though not an easy task, it takes standing up to the problems at hand to allow peace to abide amongst us and within us. When the time arrives to fulfill the need of settling matters of any kind, it takes much thought, strategy, and the power and the will to carry it out.

Because of warious uprisings against nations and peoples, the world begins to change around us. Our world must change, but we all hold the key to evolutionary social change because we are those people that make up society. In saying this, I want us to consider the changes that are made in the earth are by the changes we cause. Every decision we make brings humanity closer to changing times, new eras, for the good, and/or for the bad.

But, there are wrinkles in time that must be ironed out. And an iron emits steam in the air just as a factory's gas emissions pollutes the air. So most of all in today's discussion, I want us to respond accordingly with ethics and not react abruptly when world crisis arrive for us to take heed, and strategically work them out for further advancement of all people. With ethics, we are sustained, and learned negative impulses causes our self inflicted wounds to go unclaimed. Leading us into a deeper darkness in the fast lane, with a wonder of who has the answer or what is the cure.

So, I won't stray away from the "blue print" of my writings to you, the public. It is in the land of "Syria", which means "to go straight", "happiness", and "to draw or to drag along", where all people are to watch the signs of the times take place which is significant in making all paths straight for "The New Mellinium", so that all people will be happy (blessed) of God in the earth, by drawing them with the message of Holy fellowship, in peace, love, and kindness shed abroad the earth, instead of blaming our neighbors for horror and terror caused by evil intentions. The "evil" man is not content, nor is he happy. The Christian, the Jewish, and the Muslim are to be happy together, but one people under God, and that is the human race. It is our culture that separates us. But it is love in the depths of the heart that will bring us together and allow us to except each other.

The first tidbit to learn in any true godly religious culture should be "to love thy neighbor as thyself". But since this is a difficult virtue for many, there must be a final reckoning to settle such differences among us. A reckoning can be defined as "a settling of accounts". At this heightened level, the line drawn has been passed, and obliterated. Meaning the boundaries cease to exist. And peace cannot ever be, nor can it prevail amongst the human race if ethics, and the descency of those principles are ignored and trampled upon. Hence therefore, someone must take a stand, take heed to the obvious, strategize, and pursue the unlikely mission towards happiness. And that is to fight for it.

Thus, I would like to share with you from the book of Psalm chapters 3 and 22. In chapter 3, Absalom is in hot pursuit of his father David, the King of Judah, and eventually he becomes the King of all of the house of Israel. With a promise from God that the throne would never leave his house. Therefore, Israel fights for their land until this very day. But Israel has always been in hot pursuit by an enemy very close to them because the patriarch Abraham allowed the glory to be split between 2 sons, by two women, when God originally promised him 1 son to carry his name and legacy. And so it is until this day, that Ishmael seeks to fight with his father's promised seed, Isaac. And Isaac has to live with his older brother because God made his mother Hagar, which was Sarah's handmaiden, a promise of making her child a great nation just as well. It is true that Abraham created his own problem, and now he must suffer in a fight to make it right.

Believe it or not, I have already touched on Psalms 22 in saying that God promised Hagar a great blessing as well. He promised her protection, as well as commanded her to be obedient unto God's words by going back to Sarah with her own child, and wait until she was releaved of her service as her handmaiden. Israel and the Muslim nations must take heed to God's word in order to be blessed. They both are allowed to worship in a temple of a Holy God together, but only as a blessing. But since there is only spite and no obedience, the blessing of peacefully worshiping together cannot be attained without a reckoning.

It is God's will that the meek shall inherit the earth with eating until they are satisfied, and praising His name as they seek and find Him "in" the time of trouble. For those who have found themselves in the middle of a war, this is the time to find the true and living God. How do you do this? Ask God to reveal Himself through this situation. God speacialises in any given situation. In fact, He has already showed up in this religious war. Assistance is being made available to help the many displaced and in need. Please do not be mad at God in this hour. Thank Him and appreciate Him for all of the help given by rescue missions for food, water, and medical aid. David prayed back to God in Psalm 22:8-10 that the laughers and scorners said he trusted in the Lord, now let his Lord help him since he delighted in Him so. And from there, David testified in the next two verses of what God's care and protection looked like. He says in prayer that when he was born, God made him dependent upon his mother's breast from her womb. In verse 11 he asks God to not be far from him, for he was in trouble, and there was none to help him. That he was surrounded by the bulls of Bashan in verse 12. King David went on to pray how weak he was and needed the help of God, quickly. And in return he would declare the name of the Lord in the midst of the congregation. And I must share with you this if nothing else. The King of Judah began to praise the God of Jacob before he completed his prayer, and commanded all those who feared (had reverence for) the Lord to praise Him! For King David was confident that God would bring him through again by the divine order of blessing the one that calls on His Holy name.

God wants the hearts of Israel (the Great Jewish Nation) and Ishmael (the Great Muslim Nation). But each side must take responsibility for the facts of the matter at hand, and for the only virtue that binds them, which is taking heed to the "divine" Words of God.
