Jesus Told His followers not to be troubled by Wars and Rumors of wars, as they are a sign that the end "is not yet".
Mathew 24:6
6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
I believe Him.
Jesus Commanded that none of this should trouble His followers.
I, for one, will abide by His command.
None of this Troubles me.
I only see a lot of hand wringing and fret expressed in this thread....If you are Troubled by any of this, you are directly acting against specific teachings of our Lord.
You are saying: "Sorry Jesus, I will not follow what you teach here."
Of course, any of you are certainly free to reject any of Jesus' teachings.
I, in contrast, will choose to follow them.
