Calling us to war
Christians don't believe that we have anything to do with the events of the earth. Jesus said "Why don't you discern the signs of the times?" He loves this world, and remains faithful to lead us to the cross because He knows how much pain and suffering is happening and will continue to happen as armies of flesh and spirit clash. The world, as Isaiah said, is in gross darkness. That means that violence and murder are all around us and they will be increasing as the enemy wages war on the Father by waging war on humanity itself. Our children have lost some innocence because they witness violent and fearful things. Evil is what is giving power to the enemy and his legions, evil is what is giving strength to man's sin, they act like beasts with no conscience, bent on destruction, as we fight a war that the Father Himself declared. The Father did not join a war of man's making, He declared the war Himself.
Death is the hallmark of Satan. He thinks it is the most harmful thing he can accomplish, through suicide, through murder. He considers it power to murder us, because life, every life is precious to the One who made us. The enemy of the world is striving with all his strength to present to Jesus, as He returns, a mountain of corpses.
The Father describes Himself as leading an army. Those of us who love Him, above even our own self-interests, know that we must act by lifting up the light of the world, where the darkness is heaviest. And as a part of the armies of the Father, we will stand with Him whatever the cost may be. Don't count the cost; the cross is our standard, and He did not count the cost there. Be engaged with the Father, by every word He says, wherever He leads. Listen to Him, He speaks. In the sound of His voice are many trumpets blowing, calling us to war.
