Peaceful Millenium

We're all anticipating the year 2000 axed the turn of the centw and the millennium with Me year 2001. ANS strange as these new numbers seem, it is even more strange to imagine a world at peace at that time, beca lse war and c.oB.~i.Ct are AS old as the human race. Though we have forgotten the wars of be past, yet the conflict goes on anal hostory repeats itself in spite of our short-term memories. We don't have to refer to our history bookscs to know that peace is elusive. A misjudgment on the part of a nation or an individual could plunge mankind into another terrible war. Statesmen are endeavoring win mere pieces of paper to keep the peace. Yet, people despair of any lasting peace in such "hot spots" like Me Middle East. We are liviw in a world of anxiety and fear. Most men would have justice and goodness rule We world, but Key do not, because these ideals don't always rule our personal lives: "For there is not a just mall upon earth, that doetll good, and sinned not" (Ecclesiastes 7:20), words penned many years ago by King Solomon of Israel. There is a remedy; there is a way to peace, but it must come froIn God down to Inam God promised in Isaiah 9:6, 'For unto us a child is borne unto us a son is given...and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Fader, the Prince of Peace. " Men would be able to find personal peace because of Jesus' atonement for their sins, and thus peace win C;od. Someday the Messiah will return to earth to bnng world peace "behold, the days come, said the Lord, that...a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judanent and justice in the eaM." (Jeremiah 23:5 & 6) There will come a God-given millennoum. Bllt if we wish to give our children a legacy of peace, we must first possess it ourselves. It is possible Rough Sod to have due peace ourselves today. Those who know Him will have it forever.
