I Rest My Case
(Of the past 3,400 years, humans have been entirely at peace for 208 of them, Or just 8% of the recorded history. Estimates for the total number killed in wars and genocides throughout all of human history range from 150 million to 1 billion.)
“A world without war” is not gonna happen….ever;
And, if you believe in Seers and Scriptures, ARMAGADDON is yet to come!
PEACE? Ahhh, Peace is…
A subliminal perception,
An utopian world
A boondoggle task, Unattainable;
A paradise, a heaven
Topic for fiction and scriptures
A phantasmagoria of tranquility and conflict,
An illusion
A mirage
A chimera.
Man is made in God’s image…
Godly, saintly and benevolent;
But know thou not?
Man is inherently
more beastly than the beast –
The epitome of all that’s evil.
Lurking in him is a tyrant,
A rapist, an arsonist,
A jihadi, a crusader, an inquisitor,
A marauder, a warmonger,
A killer, a ravager –
The very incarnation of the Devil!
Man is not meant to live in peace.
It simply is not in our DNA.
When God can command Joshua:
“However, you must not let any living thing survive among the cities of these people the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance. You must completely destroy them – the Hethite, Amorite, Canaanite, Perizzite, Hivite, and Jebusite ….” (Deut. 20:16-18)
“Now go and attack the Amalekites and completely destroy everything they have. Do not spare them. Kill men and women, infants and nursing babies, oxen and sheep, camels and donkeys.” (1 Sam 15:3)
I REST MY CASE.
