The God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob
Defeated multitudes;
As long as His people obeyed
Enemies were crushed, subdued;
Great fear filled many nations
Even though they possessed might;
They knew Israel worshiped the God
Large armies could not fight.
When Joshua led fierce battles
He saw God's mighty hand;
Outnumbered by the thousands
God's nation, a fearless band.
What purpose served, those holy wars?
Does God back wars today?
Israel's wars, recorded
To proclaim God's Holy Name.
Wars today, quite different
Hate filled; land, power, greed;
Nuclear bombs, mass genocide
Inhumane, indeed.
Demonic, wicked, dangerous
Most think he is not real;
This wicked one deceives, misleads
Consumes man's thoughts, conceals.
God's son warned many listeners;
'He has no hold on me..'
Rebel, slanderer, Satan;
Open eyes - you'll clearly see.
The good news is all wars will end
God's Son, the Christ, commands;
The final battle will be fought
This war of wars will end.
Flesh cannot defeat God's army
Angelic forces, led by the King
Installed, a perfect Kingdom,
Survivors will praise and sing
Weapons, bombs, tanks - useless!
True peace on earth, restored;
Survival depends on actions now
True knowledge, take in more.
