an end to wars ...

Dear Mr Gordon, what possible aid to humanity if God literally intervenes when we are responsible to correct the errors of the past?

How is God bringing and end to war? By continual education of humanity via the likes of Jesus and Baha'u'llah. True, it is a very slow process, we tried after WWI with the League of Nations, but those same negative forces reemerged and caused WWII. We then tried with the United Nations and though certain treaties were signed and global trade has somewhat laid a more sound foundation for peace, it seems that this too has not sufficiently created a lasting peace. It may be that a third cataclysm is not that far off and if there is another global conflict, then I would imagine that we might finally establish a new global contract that removes veto and a considerable amount of national authority so that a real global arbitrator of peace is established.

This is God bringing an end to wars. This is God breaking the bow and shattering the spear. It is done by the emergence of humans into a cohesive body with universal laws and protections.

God has provided the tools to establish peace and humans must use them to establish peace. There will never be a supernatural moment in which a giant hand reaches down and breaks some kids bow and arrows. We are the masters of our own future and those who wait for God to do something are no better than a hinderance to peace. God has already done something, but we have not taken it to heart. When we do, that will be God in action.

Eze 38:1 - And the word--> (Spirit) of the LORD came unto me, saying,
4. And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
9-10 - Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:

Rev 14:8 - And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Rev 18-10 - Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
