Question: Hi Brandon. I do hope all is well with you. From inspiration and knowledge revelation I would like your splendid answer on what is going on in the middle east. Is it God’s will that the Israeli’s butcher innocent women and children in Gaza, Yemen, Iran, Lebanon e Syria? God bless you.
Answer: Kakanwa,
Thanks so much for the kind words and it’s great to hear from you!
There’s nothing in Scripture that would indicate God wants any of that. God wants us to love Him and accept His Son. That’s the most basic tenant of Christianity, (John 3:16, Romans 10:9). So that’s God’s will for us, never forget that.
What we’re witnessing in the Middle East is a product of free will. It’s the product of man changing the world, it’s a power struggle for the maturing world order.
I feel your sorrow…
Everyday when I read the news, I also reference Middle Eastern news from Arab sources. Only to see more Gazans dead at the hand of the Israeli’s. It can be hard to rationalize these things, but you must remember, it’s free will of men, not necessarily what God wants.
In case you never read this study, give it a read. The concepts of free will are explained in it and much more.
For more on the Middle East, I recently wrote the following article that may help…
It’s clear to me, there is a big push by the West to completely take over and control the world. We live in very interesting and sad times. But hey, stay positive, and stay focused on God and your family. Do good where you can, and focus on the things you can control in life.
Blessings!
