June 06, 2022 The Second Horseman of the Apocalypse
At one time we thought civilization had finally achieved world peace, that the days of constant warfare and conquering and death were behind us. Then WWI happened. Then we said that’s enough, that the bloodshed was too great, that we would never let such a thing take place ever again. Then there was WWII. And again we said, “the cost is too high. Civilized countries such as ourselves should never allow such a slaughter of life anymore. The days of one country invading another country to conquer it are finally behind us.” And then just earlier this year, Russia invaded Ukraine. When will wars and rumors of wars finally end? Well, if you read your Bible, you know the answer to that question: they won’t. In 1969, the great American philosopher Edwin Star posed this question; “war, war, what is it good for?” The answer is that it is absolutely good for somethin’, and you’ll find out what that is today on the Cross References Podcast.
