When was the world not at war?

Answer 1

According to The Bible the first war started between two brothers. Cain and Abel.

The root of war is anger then murder, and up to this day it is still the same.

Cain attacked his brother and killed him.

The lesson to be learned is: people feel anger growing inside of themselves and get out of control. Our emotions take over the control .

Here is what Matthew 5: 24 has to say. "Make peace with your brother. 1 John 3: 11,12 reads " For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, not like Cain...etc.

So to answer your question: The world has always been at war, right from the beginning. The question is: Why is there so much war if everyone wants peace?

Here is what the Bible has to say: People should abandon weapons and " beat their swords into plowshares." Which means that they must transform their weapons into working tools. Read Isaiah 2: 4 in the Old Testament.

But more is required, because violence begins within a person's heart, as the example with Cain and Abel showed.

Matthew 15: 19 reads.

Out of the heart come wicked reasonsings: Murder, adulteries, sexual immorality etc..

We cannot look to human institutions for lasting peace and security. Psalms 146 : 3,4 has this to say. " Don't put your trust in human leaders; no human being can save us. When they die they return to dust; on that day all their plans come to an end.

So who should we put our trust in? According to Daniel 2: 44 The God of heaven will set up a kingdom ( a government ) that will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms. (humans' leadership and governments).

God's kingdom is going to undo all the harm that millenniums of human rule have done. It will provide a perfect health, peace and security, meaningful work, and a clean environment for all those who take their stand for God's government. God wants us to enjoy those blessings Read Isaiah 48: 18.

Here are a few Scriptures which are very encouraging. John 17:3 Isaiah 35:1; 65: 22,23.

Micah 6: 8 reads: " He ( God ) has told you, what is good. And what is Jehovah God requiring of you? Only to exercise justice, to cherish loyalty, and to walk in modesty with your God"!

To build a world with no war, we have to renew our personality by accepting God's requirements. 2 Peter 3: 13,14 reads. " But there are new heavens and a new earth that we are awating according to his ( God's ) promise, and in these righteousness is to dwell. Therefore, beloved ones, since you are awaiting these things, do your utmost to be found finally by him ( God ) spotless and unblemished and in peace. "

Psalms 37: 29 reads " The righteous will possess the earth and they will live forever on it. This is a prophecy made by the God that cannot lie.

Titus 1. 2 reads. " is based on a hope of the everlasting life that God, who cannot lie promised long ago.
