THE ELEVENTH HOUR

READ:

And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
-Isaiah 2:4

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Leviticus 25
Mark 1:23-45

World War I has been ranked by many as one of the deadliest conflicts human history. Millions lost their lives in the first global modern war. On November 11, 1918, a ceasefire was observed on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. During that historic moment, millions around the world observed the moments of silence while they reflected upon the war's terrible cost - the loss of life and suffering. It was hoped that "the Great War," as it was called, would truly be "the war that will end all wars."
Despite the many deadly military conflicts that have followed, the hope for lasting peace has not faded. And the Bible offers a hopeful and realistic promise that someday wars will finally end. When Christ returns, Isaiah's prophecy will come true: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore" (Isaiah 2:4). Then the eleventh hour will pass and the first hour of lasting peace is a new heaven and new earth will begin.
Until that day comes, those who follow Christ are to be people who represent the Prince of Peace in the way we conduct our lives and in the way we make a difference in our world. - Dennis Fisher
Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin?
The blood of Jesus whispers peace within.
Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown?
Jesus we know, and He is on the throne. - Bickersteth

Only in Christ can true peace be realised.
