Why No Peace on Earth?

When the angels announced the birth of Jesus to the shepherds, did they also promise peace on earth for all men? If so, why haven't we experienced peace since then? How do we explain the paradox that nearly all really great religious and political leaders have acknowledged the utter futility of war, while war is ongoing? Did early Christians fight in war? What did Christ teach us? Is the concept of righteous war in accordance with the Bible? Will we ever experience peace on earth?

Are you a Seventh Day Adventist?

[standingwatch]

@CrossCarrier1985 No we are not. Though, we observe the Sabbath (Friday evening to Saturday evening) we differ considerably from them. For more information about our beliefs you can check out this page on our web site: eternalgod. org/beliefs

You are right, man has failed to bring peace, it is God alone that can and will bring true and lasting peace to this world, may His kingdom come soon.

Some very pertinent questions in this SW that we need to ask ourselves! God's way is not complicated, like this world's systems.THOU SHALT NOT KILL. Very simple and straight forward. Hate comes from the mind, and then we act it out.That is why Jesus said it is a sin even when we THINK of hating our neighbor.War, and the false glamour TV makes of it, brings only pain.Ask all those soldiers who now suffer with physical and mental problems, such as post traumatic stress disorder.Thank you Mr Link!

@jonjonloulou Its actually 'thou shall not murder" killing is allowed. Israel was commanded to totally wipe out certain kinds, and they didnt and theyre still with us now.

Peace is coming, but not until Jesus' return. Man does not know the way of peace. It's only found through living God's way. Thank you for yet another timely program.

The weapons of death of today in wars will be turned into useful tools, like agriculture. What a time that will be! I see how important your message is. The only way the world will have peace is when Jesus Christ will return. God speed that day. Thank you for the timely message.

There is only one person that will be authorised to wage war. That is Jesus Christ who will come with the Holy Angels to Jerusalem and defeat the Armys that are going to destroy all of man kind from the face of the earth. Then from that time on God's people will not have to fight in wars . God will do that for his people. And soon therre will be no wars until Satan is released at the end of 1000 years of peace. Then he will be defeated again and banished forever.

@standingwatch It was the Sabbath observance that made me assume, hope I did not offend. Thank you for the videos and I will follow the link. Your videos often parallel my own beliefs.

Excellent program and very useful information. True peace can only come through Christ upon His return
