We have lost our humanity, Now what next?

 Let your light so shine before men,

that they may see your good works

and glorify your Father in heaven

  Matthew 5:16

For the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light

Reproofs of instruction are the way of life

Pr 6:23

 

For the sake of statistics, we have lost our humanity.

 

Never in my life would I have ever imagined living in a society so cold, so dry of emotion, so detached from the joy of life, so far from the true purpose of life-giving by the True God, our Creator.

 

“Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly,"” John 10:10

 

Instead, fear, anxiety, and depression surround us like a thick cloud. A hopeless suppressive lockdown with never-ending restrictions to freely go everywhere without a mask covering our face. The level of insecurity is so great that many run to and fro outdoors, walking, biking and in their vehicle, wearing a mask and some wearing gloves. The minute a sign of a fever or sneeze manifests, 14 days of quarantine is imposed. Elders are alone without family love, without the joy of seeing and touching their grandchildren. Businesses go bankrupt, family quarrels are on the rise, obesity is on the rise, and so is depression and suicide at a peak never seen in our lifetime. All the woes are covered up by the mainstream media. 

 

We have lost our Judea-Christian culture due to the religious assemblies’ restriction, we have lost our freedom of movement by being coerced to take the vaccine, we have lost our freedom to smile, to give a friendly touch, a hug to a needed human being. We avoid eye contact and go out of the sidewalk path when coming across someone who is not wearing a mask. 

 

WE HAVE LOST OUR HUMANITY.

 

All for the sake of statistics. Statistics of people tested positive for coronavirus. Tests for the number of citizens infected by the flu have never been done in the past. Only statistics on cases of deaths due to the flu are available. Coercing someone who has tested positive and who survived by his/her own immune system to take the vaccine is not only totally irrational but is against our Charter of Rights and Freedom.

What does it take to bribe our judicial system? What reward did our government officials of all levels of governance take to ensure that the elites of a small minority have their ways of creating a new world in disorder?

A vaccination center offers ice cream to children in exchange for a vaccine, with no parental consent required" 2,500 people received their first dose of the vaccine at the temporary center and could get ice cream as they left the center[1].

 

Coerce, bride, or blackmail are all ruses used by the wicked. What does God have to say about bribes?

“You shall not pervert justice; you shall not show partiality, nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous,” Deuteronomy 16:19

“A wicked man accepts a bribe behind the back to pervert the ways of justice,” Proverbs 17:23

“The king establishes the land by justice, but he who receives bribes overthrows it,” Proverbs 29:4

 

“Your princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; Everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless, nor does the cause of the widow come before them,” Isaiah 1:23

 

Remember that these words written to instruct Israel were written for our teaching. God intended for judges and leaders to rule over the people with a sense of duty and best interest to preserve order and justice.

“You shall appoint judges and officers in all your gates, which the Lord your God gives you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with just judgment. You shall not pervert justice; you shall not show partiality, nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous. You shall follow what is altogether just, that you may live and inherit the land which the Lord your God is giving you” Deuteronomy 16:18-20

We are so far, so far from God’s directions. We live in darkness, yet so many view darkness as light. We live in an ocean of lies and deceit. So many lost souls, and so many will end up in the gas chamber believing that it is a shower. This generation put all their trust in science and government institutions, putting all their trust in a pseudo-vaccine. 

This generation had not learned from the lesson of the past, the atrocities of WWI and WW2. It all started with a lie found in Darwin's famous book "On the Origin of Species" which was first published in 1859 and found its way to influencing Adolf Hitler; published in 1925, Mein Kampf shows Hitler's personal grievances and his ambitions for creating a New Order. Hitler also wrote The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a fabricated text whose purpose was to expose the Jewish plot to control the world, as an authentic document. The elites and cooperators’ top officials of our government don’t give a hoot about their citizens. Hypocrite they are.

There is no pandemic where millions upon millions have died from the flu. My perspective is that COVID-19 was intended to be a mass weaponized bioweapon disease projected to kill thousands of millions worldwide to easily implement the fourth kingdom on earth, as described in Daniel 7:23. 

https://youtu.be/9ccd3LMNMl8

But here's the mystery, God miraculously intervenes and reduces the COVID-19 threat to a simple flu virus.  Unpredicted. God's intervention caught the elites by surprise.  Even President Trump was surprised since he was originally warned of the threat's seriousness; he took immediate countermeasures such as closing the borders, stopping all flights from China and placing the health institutions on a high alert and emergency state. Later, Trump recognized that it was not the greatest threat ever but was pressured by the media to take action. Trump himself never took the vaccine, a sign to his citizens not to trust the media or the vaccine.

Many will view this opinion as far-fetched. If you read the Old Testament, you will notice how many times God intervened mysteriously and miraculously to protect Israel from its enemies. Yet, science doesn’t believe in miracles and will do everything to convince you to trust in them. Yet, King Nebuchadnezzar did not trust science and was ready to kill every charlatan, so-called magician, astrologer, sorcerer, and Chaldean (Daniel 2:12).

 

How many are willing to believe in the power of our God, the Creator?

“He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings the shadow of death to light,” Job 12:22

“I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, And crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them,” Isaiah 42:16

“Who among you fears the Lord? Who obeys the voice of His Servant? Who walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord And rely upon his God,” Isaiah 50:10

So sad, some Christians during the Second World War believed that the invasion of the Nazi troop in Europe was God's judgement and did nothing to save the persecuted Jews. Many, although, did risk their lives but ended up in the gas chamber themselves.

What are we to do? Believes in the All-Mighty God, that what we are to do by first accepting that we are in the darkest age that ever existed (Luke 17:26). That the life of our children depends on crying out to the Lord. Aren’t our children worth more than our pride?  Please take the time to read the whole chapter of Psalms 107. Aren’t the Church, the Bride of Christ our Lord, as precious as Israel? Whether He decides to rapture us out of trouble or decide to intervene for the sake OF THE LOST SOULS shouting "LAST CALL" at the Alter of Calvary, please do your part and cry out to the Lord.

“Give us help from trouble,

For the help of man is useless.

Through God we will do valiantly,

For it is He who shall tread down our enemies,”

Psalm 108:12-13

 

Now, the Church must rise above its calling:

"This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness," Ephesians 4:17-19

The Church is called to be a light on the lampstand of Christ, the salt of the earth, to preserve life beyond the door of the church's building.

Pandemic is a lie and the blue sky above is water

 

The Blue Sky Above is Water

Just as Described in Gen 1:6

Statistics according to Health Canada show that 1% of those who get infected with COVID-19 die and that the majority of those who succumb to the disease are those over +- 80 years old and/or those who have an immune system deficiency. Wasn't that the same group of people from all previous years thru the cyclical flu season? Taking statistics of the number of people infected and tested positive was never done in the past. Only statistics of those who died of the flu. These statistics are a ruse to deceive and create fear.

In this 21st century, knowledge is available at the fingertips. Therefore, how did most Canadian citizens believe that the lockdown of all social activities and the interruption of all small businesses are for the betterment of humanity? How did the Federal and provincial governments conclude that religion is a nonessential activity, therefore forbidding all assembly while mega stores and Liquor stores are still open? Is it a plot? When the truth is so out of reach, it is easy to be deceived.

Where did the population come up with the idea that the importance of a few is more significant than the majority? Why are we sacrificing our healthy social and productive economy to save a minority, the vulnerable, which in the past our government didn't give a hoot about? Could this be coming from Star Trek, when Captain Kirk told Spock that he risked his life and the life of his crew to save him "because the needs of the one . . . outweigh the needs of the many?"

It is not my intention to flood you with tons of statistics to show you how many families are suffering, how many entrepreneurs are losing their businesses, losing their homes, and filing bankruptcy, and that there are in Canada an average of 10 individuals per day who are committing suicide due to the COVID-pseudo-crisis. Now, fear stirred up by the media causes the loss of all our rights. We are accused of being selfish if we are unwilling to give up our freedom and suffer for the good of a few. REALLY? 

Pseudoscience vs. God's Word

The resurrection of Spock in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock was science fiction, while Jesus's resurrection was real. Science fiction is based on pseudoscience, the imagination. Still, from the biblical point of view, science fiction is built on a lie and a deception for the sole purpose of pulling people away from God the Creator. Discredit Genesis chapter one, and you eliminate God 'The Creator' from history. The Bible is then viewed as fiction and a novel.

"Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?" Luke 18:8b

"Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons" 1 Timothy 4:1, describing the great apostasy from the truth to Gnosticism.

According to wikipedia.org, agnosticism is the view that the existence of God, of the divine or the supernatural, is unknown or unknowable. Another definition provided is the view that "human reason is incapable of providing sufficient rational grounds to justify either the belief that God exists or the belief that God does not exist."

Contrary to popular belief, faith is not about believing blindly. The evidence of God as the Creator is all around us. 

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen," Hebrews 11:1

Why is it taught to Christians that faith is the evidence of things not seen? Is it because humans, through time, forgot that God is the Creator and sustainer of all things? God sent prophets to Israel and Judah, reminding them that He is the true God who created all things.

"Thus says God the Lord, Who created the heavens and stretched them out, Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, Who gives breath to the people on it, And spirit to those who walk on it," Isaiah 42:5

"For behold, He who forms mountains, and creates the wind, Who declares to man what his thought is, and makes the morning darkness, Who treads the high places of the earth— The Lord God of hosts is His name," Amos 4:13

"For in those days, there will be tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, nor ever shall be," Mark 13:19

"and to make all see what the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ," Ephesians 3:9 is

Through these verses, God puts a lot of emphasis on reminding us that he is the Creator. YET, the most significant majority of pastors, ministers, and teachers explain that Genesis 1:6 has gone away at the great worldwide flood, that the gate of heaven opens and causes the ocean in the sky and the canopy to vanish, exposing the earth's atmosphere to the grand vacuum of space beyond., and concluded that it causes the end of longevity. Why do we believe the science that teaches that megatons of water are held on the sphere by a mysterious magical force called gravity that can't even stop a butterfly from gliding in the air? 

What is easier or harder to believe: Christ's resurrection or the blue sky above is water? While it is required to believe that Christ was resurrected to receive eternal life (Romans 10:9), it is not expected to think that the blue sky above is a dome made of water to receive eternal life.

Yet, to accept God as the Creator and believe in every word in Genesis chapter one is crucial to face all life challenges. Genesis 2:4 explicitly specifies that it is the true history of the beginning of time. 

"This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,"

Satan lies and deceives, but God creates delusion and confusion.

Is God the author of confusion toward the unbeliever and the unrighteous? Remember Genesis 11:9, when the Lord confused the language of all the earth, and how many times did God confuse Israel's enemies, such as what happens in the book of Joshua chapter 10? God is Not the author of confusion among and within the Church, the believers, toward those who love the truth. God reveals to those who love Him, Proverbs 8:17, John 14:21. Man and woman, from the beginning of time, took on themselves to accept the lies. The lie has become the truth, even among Christians, from generation to generation. 

"For this, they willfully forget that by the word of God, the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water," 2 Peter 3:5.

"and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason, God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness," 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12

So why is it that the 21st-century Church faith is so weak? Is it because of the believer's unbelief? Hmm… it is a kind of an oxymoron, isn't it? This statement does seem to say two opposite things. Let me explain: Although it takes only to believe that Jesus is God who died and resurrected to receive eternal life, most Christians pick and choose what to believe in the Bible, therefore succumbing quickly to temptations and discouragement in times of trouble. Yes, we are saved but are unfruitful. 

"But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind," James 1:6

Doubting: where does doubting start? I have my fair share of failing my grade 0n faith in my life. It starts from the beginning. Genesis 1:1. I wrote two commentaries about faith, yet I missed the point about the proper foundation of faith in both cases. They are still on my blog if you are interested in reading them. It is only in the year 2015 that I came to decide to believe in the whole bible as is, literally · word for word · line for line · letter for letter · to the letter · exactly · precisely · faithfully (2 Timothy 2:15, John 17:17,) and the most famous verse, 2 Timothy 3:16

"All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness"

While many profess their statement of belief in detail, my statement of belief is "the whole Bible." Does it mean that I understand everything written? No, far from it. It simply means that at this time, the entire truth has not been revealed to me yet or not given to understand. I also concluded that if a verse is difficult to accept, I ask myself: What lies do I not want to let go of? To my satisfaction, I have proven to myself that the Bible is true. I don't debate whether or not God exists or if he is the Creator. I testify that He Is.

Israel is Israel, not the Church; mystery Babylon is Babylon, Iraq, and not the United States of America or the Vatican; and the blue sky above is water.

Is it true that the evidence of God's presence and reality is all around us? Yes, it is. It is manifested through His creation. Through the Apostles' testimony, I chose to believe in Christ's resurrection (John 17:20, John 19:35); therefore, that makes me an elect, for I elect to accept their testimony as true (1 Peter 1:2). A choice to believe. Yet that choice has been reinforced by Gen 1:6. It is the truth, and it can be proven. Thank God and give glory to God for His mercy never failed, even for the cherry pickers.

God's righteousness through faith in Christ alone

"But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,  being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus," Romans 3:21-26.

So, here it is as simple as I can explain, not as a theologian but as the simple man I am. I received the love of the truth in my twenties, sought it, and made mistakes, but I kept growing in knowledge. I've listened to many teachers, read many commentaries, and written a lot until I finally decided to make an act of faith, literally believing God's Word. Mind you, it became more manageable after I studied Flat Earth by pure common sense and by accepting the bible as the trustworthy source of wisdom and understanding. I will leave only one link at the bottom to a video from an unknown source that YouTube took down. I then uploaded it on my YouTube channel. Do your own research.

When the going gets tough, I look above to the blue sky that reminds me of the glory of God. It is not hard to imagine God's throne with Jesus sitting on His right-hand side, sitting comfortably with His legs on a footstool made out of Jesus's enemies prepared by God my Father.

It is easy to imagine the rapture and when it will take place... the blue sky above will depart as the Red Sea departed to allow His people, Israel, to escape from the Egyptians. This time, the Church will escape, not from God's enemies but from God's wrath. The rapture will be visible; the whole world will see it. It is also easier to accept the description of the stars falling to the earth as in the book of Revelations. Genesis describes the stars, the moon, and the sun as being in the firmament between the water above and the water below. 

"And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind," Revelation 6:13

"Then the fourth angel sounded: And a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars so that a third of them were darkened. A third of the day did not shine, and likewise the night," Revelation 8:12

"Then God said, "Let there be a firmament amid the waters and let it divide the waters from the waters," Genesis 1:6

Once you accept the bible as the actual historical literal God's word, a great sense of security and freedom overwhelms you. You have been liberated from lies and deceptions.

"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work," 2 Timothy 3:16-17

To answer the question previously asked at the beginning of this article, "When the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?" Yes, He will because He promised He would send a helper to teach us the truth from the beginning of time (Genesis) to the end of time (Book of Revelation).

"However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come," John 16:13

Now, those of you who have read this article… you are blessed. It is God who led you to this article. You sought the truth; now you got it. You are now out of the ocean of lies and of deceptions. Give all glory to God.

PS. You are created in the image of God. God already picked you to be part of His family. It is like preparing two teams to play baseball. You have been selected from the beginning of time… and redeemed by the blood of Jesus. You have access to the throne of God. God smiles with joy when He sees you in His court each time you take the time to pray. Now, make the final step and believe that.

The Blue Sky Above is Water

Just as Described in Gen 1:6

So each time you feel discouraged, look at the blue sky because your redemption draws near and "boldly come to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need" Hebrews 4:16

Flat earth... what does the bible say about it?

Heliosorcery (2022) | Exposing the Occult Origins of Heliocentrism

“Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years,” Genesis 1:14

"When He prepared the heavens, I was there,
When He drew a circle on the face of the deep," Proverbs 8:27

The Elite knows the Earth is Flat.

Now that you have come to accept the truth about God being the Creator, it is time you get to know the purpose of your creation. It's more than just being created in the image of God. It is to be in fellowship with God.

Psalm 46

God's Help Is On Its Way

BOMBSHELL REPORT: Chinese Communist Party accused of working directly with US Federal agencies while formulating plans to indict Trump on multiple levels..

PAYING ATTENTION YET? pic.twitter.com/LvYN4WccRv

— Chuck Callesto (@ChuckCallesto) June 9, 2023

 

I have come to realize that China plotted to invade and conquer the USA as it conquered Canada and Europe. Canadian bank institutions are now in the hands of China. 

I invite you to read part of an article written by Conrad Black in the Canadian The Epoch Times ' Dec 3^rd, 2020 Opinion section:

"In a word, at little cost to itself, China, a country whose Party-state can enforce its will with no attention at all to the inconvenience of those whom it affects, may have gotten rid of its greatest rival in the world in President Trump and replaced him with a quavering former appeaser, reduced Western Europe to a gibbering flock of frightened geese, and has sent a message to Japan, India, South Korea, and its other neighbours that with a minor bacteriological indiscretion China can severely rattle any rival. It is one of the greatest triumphs of self-assertion in 3,500 years of Chinese history and is a geopolitical masterstroke."

"Should Trump (in fact) lose, it will be the responsibility of the feeble Biden administration and the shell-shocked occupants of what used to be called the chancelleries of Europe, to try to counter, if not punish, this Chinese thunderbolt. Let no one doubt that the entire Western world has suffered a crushing, though far from irreversible, defeat at the hands of the masters in Beijing."

I had come to recognize that the 'not so secret society has advertised years in advance what they plotted... and also brag about their achievement.  China has crowned itself victor and master of the nation Canada without a single gunshot fired.

Conrad Black sent a message... the election fraud was the plot to instate Joe Biden...

I believe that COVID-19 was a biological weapon... it was meant to cause a lot of casualties worldwide, and it has in some countries devastating results, such as Italy. But here's the mystery, God miraculously intervenes and reduces the COVID-19 threat to a simple flu virus in many parts of the world.  Unpredicted. It caught the elite by surprise.  Even President Trump was surprised since he was originally warned of the threat's seriousness; he took immediate countermeasures such as closing the borders, stopping all flights from China and placing the health institutions on a high alert and emergency state.

99% of those who catch the virus survive. The statistic shows that the death toll due to Covid-19 is no greater than the seasonal flu. But what about statistics on the number of people who caught the virus? Does that prove that Covid-19 is a worldwide threat? Never in past history have statistics been taken about the number of people who tested positive. We do not have statistics about those who caught a cold or the common flu. 

The Canadian communist collaborator's elites were also taken by surprise. Since the bioweapon failed, they had no choice but to continue to act as if it was the biggest threat. They decided to continue to invest billions into the lie. The Canadian Communist government has long been prepared for the coup, the new normal, and the economic reset (The Great Reset). A recession was plotted through mandatory lockdowns, to force businesses to go bankrupt. Yes. There were casualties; many small businesses closed and never reopened, and some owners, through emotional pressure, committed suicide. Yet, here again, Our Mighty God intervenes. The US economy is striving at a rate that causes investors' heads to spin.  The communist elites again were taken by surprise. In despair, they are implementing a second mandatory shutdown and then a third one by showing statistics of the number testing positive while the death toll continues to diminish.  All media is in full swing propagating daily statistics while the communist provincial government keeps imposing new restricted measures. The media propaganda is so effective that many fall victim to wearing masks, even outdoors. Since God’s truth is not in them, complying is their only act of defence.

Has God chosen President Trump to defeat America's greatest threat, China?  The coup d'état, through the biggest voting fraud, will be viewed in American history as the greatest defeat toward a republic system. Will the swamp ever be cleaned up? If it does, it will not be by man but by God alone? It might look hopeless and look defeated. History showed that it is then that God moved in... as He always did with Israel; what will God do with America? Why would God act this way?... so that American Christians realize that God alone did it. There will be a transformation within the churches. Traditional Church teachings of the truth will return. Why? For the last call to save souls. Get ready; it will get worse before it gets better. It started with the churches being judged and purified, followed by a renewal of the unbeliever's heart. They will be looking for answers but will find none. There will be a spiritual drought throughout the land. That is when they will cry out to the LORD, the ONE they reject. And God will answer.

Get ready to be busy.

Let me be very clear. I AM A STUDENT OF BIBLE PROPHECY. I am not a prophet. I do not hear God speak to me. I do not have visions or dreams. I ask for discernment… no more, no less. Therefore, take this article as my opinion, and if it coincides with the views of others, then so be it. All glory and honour belong to our Lord Jesus. I am not looking for attention, but only yours.

 

China is not the little horn. China doesn’t resemble The characteristics of the Antichrist

The Coming Of The Lawless One characteristics are (in my opinion):

·        Will come from a middle class – with no monarchy bloodline

·        Probably of a Baha’i faith follower or a strong advocate of its principals

·        He would have no personal use for religion but understood its political value

·        He would have enlisted in the military

·        He would rebuild a nation in chaos and prosper

·        He would subdue internal revolts

·        Consequently, abolish government and create new institutions benefiting his goal to reign all over the Middle East and then the world

·        Would sign a covenant with Israel and this covenant will permit Israel to return to their temple mountains and begin to sacrifice

·        Three and half years later, he would walk into the temple and name himself a god

·        He would war against the surrounding nations in the middle-east and subdue them

·        Rally the whole word to war against Jesus' return

 We are not there yet.

 

God is the Refuge of His People and Conqueror of the Nations

 

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song for Alamoth.

 

Psalm 46 

God is our refuge and strength,

A[a] very present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear,

Even though the earth be removed,

And though the mountains be carried into the [b]midst of the sea;

Though its waters roar and be troubled,

Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah

There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God,

The holy place of the [c]tabernacle of the Most High.

God is in the midst of her, she shall not be [d]moved;

God shall help her, just [e]at the break of dawn.

The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved;

He uttered His voice, the earth melted.

The Lord of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah

Come, behold the works of the Lord,

Who has made desolations in the earth?

He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;

He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;

He burns the chariot in the fire.

Be still, and know that I am God;

I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth!

The Lord of hosts is with us;

The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah
