Comments on: What is Truth? http://www.jesuschrist.co.uk/blog/what-is-truth/ Lifting the name of Jesus Christ and resourcing God's people for victorious living Sun, 25 Dec 2011 18:03:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: David Lee Martin http://www.jesuschrist.co.uk/blog/what-is-truth/comment-page-1/#comment-236 David Lee Martin Thu, 07 Jan 2010 08:15:30 +0000 http://www.jesuschrist.co.uk/?p=812#comment-236 Thanks so much for your comments. They are very well considered, and thought provoking. I agree with you that one day the world will be united under one banner and one ruler. The Scriptures talk clearly about this glorious day, when men will no longer learn war: <blockquote>Mic. 4:1-4 ¶ But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it. </blockquote> This will not be a manmade peace however, but a heaven sent Peace that will follow the return of Christ to the earth. Although this may sound far-fetched or fantastical, so did the idea of a Messiah, a healer and reconciler - yet He came and made atonement for men. As certain as the prophecies of His first coming (over 300) were fulfilled in detail. so it will be with the prophecies of His second coming. Thanks so much for your comments.

So, IF or WHEN…?
