Who Is Ultimately Responsible?
As Americans, we are most grateful to God that Jesus, as the King of Peace, has answered His Mother’s prayers, as the Queen of Peace and the Queen of Iraq; and, in His Mercy because Mary interceded, granted the United States an end to the major part of the conflict before the holy day of Easter.
Of course, while any U.S. soldier is sniped at or screamed at, one cannot be comfortable with the situation. The conflict may be over from our perspective here in our chairs at home as we watch TV, but it is NOT over for those who are still in the field and have to face an explosive and untrustworthy population.
As we watch Iraqi citizens for the first time taste the rights of freedom and demonstrate against America, our soldiers or whatever, we can easily see that peace in that nation is far from realized. Instead, the hotbed of islamic fanaticism and Arab pride is beginning to rear its once suppressed and ugly head.
The president and those who naturally are beaming with victory can certainly be elated that the goal of removing sad man insein and those who supported this evil demon has been achieved easily and beyond our wildest expectations.
But will it bring us to the next goal?
Peace in the Middle East.
We are not for or against George Bush. We know full well his background (as anyone who reads this web site knows).
It is not the president’s fault as to what he has inherited — hatred between the offspring of Abraham: Ishmael and Isaac; Arab and Jew.
Who is ultimately responsible for this?
Was it George Bush who banished Ishmael from Abraham’s camp?
Was it the UN that led the children of Israel out of Egypt?
Was it Tony Blair who told the Israelites that they were to take over the land of Canaan?
We all know the answers to these questions is most certainly not!
The answer is simple and it is biblically based — if you believe the Bible.
It is the Lord God who allowed Ishmael to be banished from the camp of Abraham.
It is the Lord God who gave the land of Israel to the descendants of Abraham.
It is the Lord God who came to His chosen people of Israel as their Messiah.
It is the Lord God who was rejected by the people of Israel.
Who is ultimately responsible for the conflict in Israel?
It is the Lord God.
Who is ultimately responsible for the continuation of this conflict?
It is the people of Israel.
Why?
Because it is they who have rejected their Messiah in the form of Jesus.
Who is ultimately responsible for the resolution of this conflict?
It is the Lord God.
How, then, can this conflict over Jerusalem and Israel be ultimately resolved?
George Bush cannot resolves this conflict; the U.S. military will not resolve this conflict; Tony Blair will not resolve this conflict; the UN will not resolve this conflict; John Paul II will not resolve this conflict; Palestinian terrorists will not resolve this conflict; the Israel Defense Forces will not resolve this conflict; Ariel Sharon will not resolve this conflict; Yassir Arafat will not resolve this conflict; a new Palestinian state will not resolve this conflict.
NO ONE HUMAN WILL EVER RESOLVE THIS CONFLICT.
The problem is many of the above-mentioned people think they CAN solve it!
But they are drastically wrong!
This conflict will only be resolved WHEN THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, IN THEIR GREAT NEED, CRY OUT AND RECOGNIZE THE ONE WHOM THEY HAVE PIERCED AND MOURN!
Then the Lord Jesus, who is their Lord and God, and the only One who can ultimately resolve this conflict, will take action.
For He is the Only One who can resolve this conflict.
And He will only resolve it if we — those who already claim to believe in Him — ask, beg, plead and implore through the Heart of His Mother, the Queen of Peace, that She call upon Him to hasten the day when He resolve this conflict.
For only the Queen of Israel, the Daughter of Sion and the Mother of Jerusalem can move the Hand of Christ to remove the blinders and make the children of Abraham — both Arab and Jew — recognize their true Lord and Savior.
If there is but one lesson from the war in Iraq, it is the importance of continuing to plead with Mary to intercede with Her Son for the sake of peace. And to intercede for Ishmael and Isaac, two brothers who refuse to recognize Jesus as their Savior.
O Jesus, King of All Nations, make Your Reign be recognized on Earth,
in honor of Your Mother, the Queen of All Nations, and the Queen of Peace!
