It is strange that modern minds think the Lord almighty should never use the sword to bring justice. Compare that to the world today where half the world currently supports a war in Eastern Europe, and the other half of the world supports the ‘other’ side. Western Christians primarily stand on one side, and Eastern usually support what we consider ’the enemy’… It all depends on the propaganda thrown our way, and our preconceived opinions, informed from the context we live in. Only the Lord knows where true fault lies, as only the Lord –Yahweh Almighty– can read the hearts and minds of everyone involved. Our current world rulers and their intentions are not hidden from ‘The LORD.’ Thankfully. That surely means only the Lord is able to know how to respond, what true justice looks like, and what is deserved. Such an informed being would also know when to grant mercy, and when true repentance has taken place.

The cenotaph memorial unveiled by King George V on 11th November 1920, stands as a lonely reminder in the middle of Whitehall Road of the great sacrifice and courage for those who fought for this land. Armistice day, or Veterans Day in America, is always held on the 11th of November. It draws Royalty, political leaders, veterans and families together in remembrance and minutes of silent contemplation. This year, a pro-Palestinian march is planed for armistice day, and that raises all sorts of questions, if we dare ask them…

Imagine if all tensions could be resolved, our insulters dealt with, and if justice prevailed. Imagine a judge who understands every word and deed (Proverbs 10:22, Romans 14:10-12), who knows the way to peace and freedom for all…

Response to the ‘Lady of Heaven’ film. Christ calls His church to a high order of behaviour. If taken seriously whole communities, societies, and societal struggles find transformation, healing and unity. It goes against human nature to easily forgive, maintain long-suffering, nurture patience, but as we interact with each other, these become the building blocks of healthy and wholesome relationships. Families and communities can find a way to both disagree, yet communicate maintaining the way of peace and kindness. Christ’s way truly transforms, heals and frees us from brokenness.
