Now I am going to tell you a secret.. You have followed thus far and so I think earned your place in my innermost considerations. The secret is a secret because Daniel, an Israeli prophet in Babylon after the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians July 10, 586 BC, was told to "close up these words and seal the book until the time of the end" Daniel 12:4.
In short God was going to bring on Israel an apparent great 'evil'.. but in fact it was ultimately for their 'good' and ultimately ours! Some wars have to happen! So what's the connection? Just hold on a bit.. First we have to clear the table of some irrelevant junk.
What is this "war on terror" we are in? If we define 'we' as the secular democratic 'free' West, primarily acknowledged at the national government level.. 'we' have a real problem. First its not a war in which the enemy can be decisively engaged.. Second the reason the enemy cannot be engaged is because 'they' and 'we' are not of the same kind.. Its not that we are not able to kill some of them or even kill some of their leaders.. they are not the source.. nor are the preachers of extremism.. nor are the populous who passively support the preachers.. nor are the 'holy books' which may be read to succour such dangerous ideas and no its not the ideas either!
In other words all the armoury at the disposal of modern western secular governments including education, freedom, human rights, high tech military hardware etc.. are ultimately useless. Why? Because we have not just left God out of our civilisation but encouraged ourselves to 'play god'.
There is no common 'battlefield' upon which western secularism and the spiritual powers of darkness can engage. By evading the 'truth' about life, 'we' have lost the capability to understand the deepest truth.. about ourselves.. our own 'evil'. So what is real 'evil'.. Playing God.. assuming his place and authority over the universe.
You may need to think about that..
