Signs of the Times
Where do we go from here?

lost and injured lives, damaged territories, and an inability to forgive one another for what has happened. It seems they can never settle what bothers them. The lull between skirmishes is used to rebuild and secure more powerful munitions so they can overwhelm their opponent during the next conflict.
HERE'S WHAT WE FEAR:
Our outlook is influenced by the prophetic statement, "There shall be wars and rumors of wars". Associated with that concept usually is the fear of a terrible conflagration, Armageddon, when a third of the population of the world will be killed with blood being pooled up to the bridles of horses resulting in the end of our
age as we know it. Everyone fears that one day a skirmish will break out between Israel and one of the factions of the Palestinians and the battle will escalate triggering the involvement of the rest of the Arabs across the region including Syria and Iran, threatening the extinction of Israel. To prevent this, Israel's allies, the United States, England and others, come to her aid. Then, the allies of the Arabs, Russia, China and others, come to their aid. The Super Powers have a direct clash with one another with each side being determined to win. All weaponry available to these opposing Nations is deployed and, when used, will ultimately devastate and destroy every thing on earth as we know it. This would be the battle of extinction. That's what we fear.
To this possibility every adult, youth and child living in the world today responds by shouting forth:
HERE'S WHAT WE NEED:
If a solution could be found for the crowded conditions of the Middle East, maybe the hatred could be subsided. Each side, the Jews vs. the Arabs, reacts to the other by accusing them of confiscating their land, their homes, their freedom and their safety. They thoroughly dislike one another and when conditions heat up, they come close to wishing they could exterminate and wipe their opponents off the map.
