Wars, A Fragile Cease Fire - Praying for Wisdom

Reports are coming out now that Iran managed to move 400 kg of 60% enriched Uranium to a secured location just days before President Trump's strike on their three nuclear facilities. (https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/fears-over-irans-missing-400kg-of-uranium-enough-to-make-10-nukes-says-us-8746894)

President Trump vehemently disagrees with these reports and says, "Obliterated! We destroyed all those nuclear sites, without a doubt." (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-hegseth-seethe-fake-news-media-doubting-us-strikes-obliterated-iranian-nuclear-sites-scum)

Since Covid, the world has not stopped being bombarded with what is really, simply, bad news. We still have a pile of unanswered questions about Covid. There was the infamous 2020 Stolen Election. We have more questions than answers around what actually transpired on the fateful January 6th. 4-years of President Biden and the most radical anti-family, anti-America policies being passed than ever in the history of our nation. Russian invades Ukraine. October 7th 2023, a fleet of terrorists came into Israel and slaughtered some 1,200 Israeli's most of whom were civilians, and kidnapped more than 200. President Trump was almost assassinated!? Israel went to war. Ukraine and Israel remain at war. We have had natural disasters, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc. And then, as if we would get a reprieve, miraculously President Trump was re-elected!

But there is no reprieve - in fact the turmoil around the world has only seemed to increase. Russia shows no sign of stopping their slow-grinding war in Ukraine. Trump is at a NATO summit right now to discuss what to do with Russia and Ukraine.

Will the cease fire agreement hold up or is this merely a pause for all parties to regroup for the next round of fighting. President Trump would adamantly insist, both parties must lay down their weapons and stop the fighting. But as he said today, these two nations have been fighting for so long, perhaps its simply impossible!? You could see the grieving in his demeanor as he face the reporters on his way to the NATO summit.

I recently wrote an article about war and Where does God fit into War and Strife Among the Nations?

Russia invaded a sovereign nation. That is a fact. Israel was attacked by regimes who have been propped up with Iranian funds, training and arms: Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthi's, etc. North Korea and China both put boots on the ground in Russia's Ukraine war. Is it just for the nations to turn a blind eye and allow Russia to have their way in Ukraine? Is it a good and wise plan for America to allow our Middle East allies, Israel at the helm, to fend for themselves and try dismantle the Iranian powers while we sit this one out. Tucker Carlson and others would vehemently say, "Yes! Sit these wars out! For the sake of the survival of the world, do not get involved with these wars so far from our borders!" And perhaps they are right? But who is able to prove what is the right way in a world that has become so small and so complex!?

In my opinion, we are in the midst of a war of dissenting visions: China has a vision for the world, the EU has a vision for the world, we have a vision for the future of world - Russia, UK, others too have their own ideas for how the world should function. The problem we are facing is that these visions, these competing visions for the future of the nations of the world are so drastically different, strong and powerful men are losing patience trying to make compromise and even a modicum of unity, happen.

Russia, in their eyes, said to the western, especially NATO-world, "We are fed up with what is happening in NATO and Ukraine. Decades are passing without resolution and so, we war."

Israel is grieving. And no one is writing about this. A very very few are brave enough to point out this simple fact, Israel was just attacked in ways no modern nation has seen since 9/11 or since their own Nazi-Holocaust. Israel is simply done hearing Iran threaten to wipe them off the map.

These are the stated facts of what is transpiring around the world. Where America, the EU, the UK, India, China, etc. fit into this story is all being written right before our very eyes. And it could all devolve into a years long, World War III. I am raising children in this world. My youngest is 19 months old, he is a boy. My wife was joking around about having more children until recently. I fear these things happening around the world, have made her to feel unsafe.

Tucker and many of these opposing America entering foreign wars have so many wonderful and even beautiful things to say. And... Their opponents just might be speaking the truth? What if no one was willing to stand against Hitler and his Nazi-regime!? History now tends to judge men like Neville Chamberlain as having missed his opportunity to stop Hitler before WW2 began. Who is equipped to judge such matters?

Humility, Pause, Boldness, Courage, Wisdom and Prayer are the character-attribute that will win the day. Empathy! Try to understand even where your enemy is coming from. And pray. Pray like you have never prayed before! So that God can give us these moment by moment answers into how we can influence and sway the various souls engaged in the conflict.

God doesn't want death. He is the living God, whose Spirit is a Quickening and Life-Giving Spirit! The Bible declares, "God is love". And when pure evil threatens to destroy God's people? What are the people of God to do? (And both Israel and Iran think that they are God's people. Both Russia and Ukraine think that they are God's people.) In Closing, I want to write to my fellow Americans. I wish many journalists, influencers and politicians would read this. This is no time for political-war, strife and unending bickering amongst our fellow Americans. We are nearing the edge of a precipice that none of us truly want to fall into. This is not the time to continually attack your President, your Governors and leaders and political foes. And for the record, I said a lot of this while Biden was President too. But now, we need to come together as a nation like never before. Put our differences aside and pray for our President, our leaders, Congress, etc. Pray that they have the wisdom and grace to lead us and the nations away from a Global and many-years-long War.

Perhaps it is time to stand up to Russia so that they stop bullying the smaller and weaker nations at their borders? Or perhaps Russia has been mistreated for so long that the western-world should give them this win? I dont know.

Perhaps the world should rally behind Israel! FOR ONCE! Perhaps the nations should let them push back their enemies, who have been terrorizing this tiny nation, even since it's inception! Perhaps if the nations looked with honest eyes at the realities of Israel's war they would at a minimum keep quiet and let that government protect it's people from nations and regimes and terrorist organizations who have been hostile to them for some 30, 40 and even 50 years!

God will make a way. Even if there are only a few nations interested in what God is truly saying... God will make a way... And maybe that way is a little war to fend off Global Disaster? Whatever is revealed to be God's plan - it's going to be the best plan that anyone on earth could come up with...

Prayerfully yours,

Robert Anthony
