Arthur Wellesley otherwise known as the Duke of Wellington, was one of England's greatest generals,said, 'War is a terrible evil'. As one writer wrote of him,'Military genus though he was, he had no illusions about the human cost of a battle,even when it was won.' After his most famous victory ,the battle of Waterloo, as he surveyed the awful carnage,he declared,' Next to a battle lost, the greatest misery is a battle gained'.Again one has said, 'that after Cain slew his brother Abel the world has been a slaughter house ', such is the sad history of humanity.There has never been a time in history when this world has been at peace,one of the most delusional statements ever made was after the first world war someone said,'It was the war to end all wars'. As a Christian I believe Jesus is coming again,I look forward to this great event,for it mean the end of wars,of killing ,of violence. Murder is not a mystery,it comes out of our sinful human nature,the driven necessity of humanity to kill continues unabated, and will do , until the Prince of peace comes back.The question is, will you be ready for that great day?, I hope so.
