Another Peace treaty

All the star players are at it again, another Mid East peace treaty. I don’t know how many peace attempts have been made, but we do know that this one will fail like all the others. All who follow Bible prophecy know there is only one peace treaty that will work, and that will only happen when Jesus Christ returns. There is another that will last about 3.5 years before all hell breaks loose, drawn up by a man who may be alive today, standing in the wings somewhere in what we call the old Roman Empire. This man is the Anti-Christ.

All man-made peace plans in the past have failed, and all man-made peace plans in the future will fail. The reason that all of them fail is that man cannot build a stable political order, a just social order, and an acceptable moral standard, because man himself is unstable, unjust and immoral. The following I found in a Dr. Noah W. Hutchings book, "Daniel The prophet".

As the old saying goes, "You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear." The whole is only a sum of all its parts. The Bible declares that all men have sinned and come short of the Glory of God, and there is none that doeth good, no not one. Therefore, to expect man of himself to establish a just and moral society on the earth is expecting the impossible. World War 1 was to make the world safe for democracy. It didn't. World War 2 was the war to end all wars. It wasn't. The United Nations was supposed to bring peace on earth. It hasn't. The Great Society was supposed to erase poverty. It didn't. The industrial revolution was to build a heaven on earth. It didn't. Science was going to catapult man into superhuman existence. It hasn't. And we could go on and on. The failure of man is due to his own sinful ineptitude, above which he cannot rise by himself. This is why God will send Jesus Christ back to save man for Himself.

Jesus Christ is not coming back to destroy the world; He is coming back to save the world from those who would destroy it (Revelation 11:18). He is coming back to replace all the rulers this world has ever known. He will be the King of Kings, and He will rule the nations with an absolute rule that will be just and righteous.
