Olive Branch in One Hand

olive branch in one hand weapon in the other hoping for peace with his brother eager to open his heart stepping with caution lest a new war he start ancestors who precede him sons who succeed him raised midst outbursts of fire triggered by scoundrels and liars... visions nightly torment his wife ~ grasp tight the olive branch of life

We pray all the time for Israel. The day will come, there will be peace. That is very sad that his wife has nightly tormenting visions. How horrible.

Lets hope there is Godly intervention and Peace wins over. Sadly the Bible says different but in the end Our Lord restores peace for Israel and it will finally end, the wars against Israel. I believe that our God is the only one that can stop and end the turmoil, hate, and war. He will protect Israel and destroy all enemies. Thanks for this truthful write Gershon...

Last verse, frightening! Some want for peace…some want to rile it. Praying for the peace of Jerusalem.

Hi Gershon I believe the weapon has the upper hand at the moment.
