THE BIBLE'S VIEWPOINT/VIOLENCE

Will violence ever end?

WHAT PEOPLE SAY  Violence has always been with us and always will be.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS  "Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more . . .But the meek will possess the earth, and they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace." (Psalm 37:10, 11) Yes, in order to save the meek and peaceable, God will do to lovers of violence what he did to ancient Nineveh. Thereafter, violence will never again mar the earth! -Psalm 72:7. 

Now, therefore, is the time to seek God's favor by cultivating a peaceful disposition. Says 2 Peter 3:9:  "Jehovah . . .is patient with you because he doe snot desire anyone to be destroyed but desires all to attain repentance."
