A boiling cauldron of hate from the beginning of time.
Do not be deceived, we are living in the last days.
You are correct about the total annihilation of the enemies of God by God.
Let us pray for the peace of Israel, for the middle east is front and center of end time Prophecies.

If someone plans to start a war that person should be removed from office Jesus said My kingdom is not of this world. If countries are fighting America should not take sides but try to stop the fighting. America should investigate what weapons of war they have and try to stop all nations from having weapons but since they may not be able to they should aid Israel with more weapons and if Israel starts to fight and make war they should remove their weapons and aid the other nations they should always help defend the country that is attacked by sending armies or allowing other countries in to investigate and report back to America and they investigate also. Or I suppose America should not get involved at all except to make sure all the other nations are making sure everyone is controlled and fairly able to defend themselves and report back to America. Not that people should fight back but to show it will have to and can if many people lives are at risk and they should only go after the terrorists

This actually seems to be a positive development to me. The Shia regime in Iraq, in the same week it welcomed the pope and made efforts to reconcile with Christians, gives intelligence relating to Shia terrorist groups. The Biden regime targets terrorists intent on destabilising the region. The Syrian government do not like it because these Hezbollah are their allies but it will get the message that America is back and it cannot just go back to being the terrorist-sponsoring state it was before the Arab Spring.

What this says to me is that active steps are now being taken by concerned parties across the Middle East to bring peace to the region. Terrorism and lawlessness are out and peace and reconciliation are in.

I would like to ask Christians to read Matthew 10:34
NIV 34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
KJV 34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

What is Jesus talking about here?

This means he does not support people living in sin that they can have peace if they live that way for all must give account and we must not seek to live in peace to accept another religion to deny christ to preserve our life. Also one should not even seek to kill his enemies to preserve his life but sometimes enemies need to be defeated as they pose a risk to all the public and not all are christian so we can not force what we teach on others

I am afraid Jesus Christ never gave His followers any commandments about how to run a kingdom or Country, so He, Jesus Christ, has nothing to do with man's politics and the lot.

Instead, Jesus Christ commanded His followers against the occupying of seats of authority, and the installing of themselves in leadership roles over their brothers(Matthew 20 vs 24-28). How can one who disobeys Jesus Christ be expected to do as Jesus Christ commands?

That passage does not say not to hold a seat of authority. It literally says a leader must serve others.

How do I Pray for the Peace of Israel, while simultaneously praying for the total annihilation of the enemies of God, when 2/3 of Israel Must, according to prophesy, be violently exterminated to accomplish that feat?

Are we to pray for "Peace through the Annihilation of 2/3 of Israel"?

So, what part of the passage sanctions politics/leadership as we know it?

24 The other ten followers heard this and were angry with the two brothers.
25 So Jesus called the followers together. He said, “You know that the rulers of the non-Jewish people love to show their power over the people. And their important leaders love to use all their authority over the people.
26 But it should not be that way with you. Whoever wants to be your leader must be your servant.
27 Whoever wants to be first must serve the rest of you like a slave.
28 Do as I did: The Son of Man did not come for people to serve him. He came to serve others and to give his life to save many people.”


It is possible for a man to, get into politics and not wield and use authority over the people?​

Where does it say that a Christian should not use authority? It doesn't. By your logic, a Christian shouldn't serve in any position at any job other than entry-level positions with no supervisory responsibilities.

The Shia regime in Iraq, in the same week it welcomed the pope and made efforts to reconcile with Christians, gives intelligence relating to Shia terrorist groups.
The intelligence didn't come from "The Shia regime". There was some very inconclusive intelligence from the Kurdish government (where the attack on the US base took place) which certainly didn't justify this attack 500 kilometers away in Syria.

The Biden regime targets terrorists intent on destabilising the region. The Syrian government do not like it because these Hezbollah are their allies
They're also allies of the Iraqi government and were instrumental in defeating ISIS and other Al Qaeda groups in Iraq and Syria.

but it will get the message that America is back and it cannot just go back to being the terrorist-sponsoring state it was before the Arab Spring.
"back"? When did America leave? And if there's a line of terrorist sponsoring states, Syria would be at the back of the line and the US at the front.

What this says to me is that active steps are now being taken by concerned parties across the Middle East to bring peace to the region. Terrorism and lawlessness are out and peace and reconciliation are in.
I don't see how this is for any greater good. Try explaining that to the families of those killed without trial or recourse, whose crime was to be mobilized against the existential threat posed to Iraq and Syria by NATO and Saudi backed jihadists.

The same group attacked US targets in Baghdad. The US Defence Secretary thanked the Iraqi government for the intelligence.

They're also allies of the Iraqi government and were instrumental in defeating ISIS and other Al Qaeda groups in Iraq and Syria.

They are a bunch of cutthroats and terrorists. Please don't tell me you sympathise with Hezbollah!

"back"? When did America leave? And if there's a line of terrorist sponsoring states, Syria would be at the back of the line and the US at the front.

America is now internationally engaged again and not just America First.

I don't see how this is for any greater good. Try explaining that to the families of those killed without trial or recourse, whose crime was to be mobilized against the existential threat posed to Iraq and Syria by NATO and Saudi backed jihadists.

They have committed more crimes and murders than those warranted by a defence against ISIS. Israel regards them as a threat to their national security

The NWO people or "The Great Reset" as they call it now would like war i guess. Covid fascism does not seem to work well enough. But i suppose they need the public to go along with war. So they and their country can be punished? So expect false flags and brainwashing on a new level.
