God bless America
It has been 4 years since President Reagan passed away. I recommend to watch a movie, "In the Face of Evil" with the subtitle 'Reagan's War in the World and Deed', which depicts the world history. This is an excellent documentary movie to watch during the July 4th holiday to remind ourselves that our fundamental core value is based on the belief that we are ultimately fighting spiritual warfare.
From a Christian perspective, we are fighting a spiritual warfare and I believe that God will win all battles even though He allows evil power to wage wars. I encountered a comment written by ex-military who fought in battles saying that he was forced to fight and to love the country; however, the fact is every military member sworn to defend the country when he or she joined military. Therefore, it is a duty to defend the country. Of course, it is different if military duty is forced as in some countries. However, it is the policy in United States that all military members sworn that they will defend the country when he or she joined military. As for me, I love USA and wanted to serve the country when I joined US Navy. The reason that I mention this is because it is the "July 4th US Independence Day" holiday.
We are one of the hardest working people in the world but many Americans are very materialistic; however, this is the basic driving force for most of human being desire, so called "Greed" for power and money. As a believer in God, we will ultimately be accountable for all our actions when the final time comes, Jesus Second Coming. God is the Ultimate Judge and holds keys to heaven and to hell.
I have encountered that some are lying and cheat to get money; but, God knows all our thoughts and intentions even counting very numbers of our hair and genetic cells which is almost infinite from human mind. Believing this, I believe that the religious wars are based on human misunderstanding of God's Will. We often force God into our little boxes as if we know exactly what God is planning to do. Our understanding is based on our spiritual understanding of God and even though the understanding is inspired by God through Holy Spirit who is powerful working Spirit of God, we will never be 100% sure that is the Will of God since we are limited in our understanding of scope of God who God really is. Of course, we believe that God reveals His Will through Abraham, Moses, Prophets, Bibles, etc.; but, yet, I believe that we really do now know Exactly What God is planning to do with 100% accuracy since all men and women have sinned against God and none is like Almighty God.
In conclusion, we need to seek the Will of God, not the power and greed. In my opinion, "2008 God's Final Witness" written by Ronald Weinland is false.
May the God's Will be accomplished. Praise the Lord!
Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.They will soar on wings like eagles; They will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31
