You mentioned the war to end all wars.
Yes, Armageddon is the coming War to end all wars - Psalms 46:9
The 'sword-like executional words from Jesus' mouth' will rid the Earth of the wicked - Isaiah 11:3-4; Revelation 19:14-15
The figurative 'sheep' at Jesus' coming Glory Time will be kept safe - Matthew 25:37; Isaiah 26:20; Psalms 27:5,14.
Then, Jesus will have subjects/citizens from sea to sea...... - Psalms 72:8,12-14
I have already mentioned wwI as the war to end all wars
YoursTrue
Faith-confidence in what we hope for (Hebrews 11)
Just to clarify, when I said 'we'll see, maybe,' I was referring to Armageddon, if we live to see it. So every eye will see Jesus, that is of course, figurative. And we await that time to take its course to the finish. Some of us will be alive during that time, some will not be.
I hope I clarified my statement about this. Thanks for your point there.

Faith-confidence in what we hope for (Hebrews 11)
It's called prophecy. I like to keep things simple, if possible. (Although not everything is easy to understand, the Bible also says that.) So even from looking at the current state the world is in, when God created Adam and Eve, He knew for their betterment they need to listen to him. Eve was deceived but not by God. Adam was different. He knew he would die, he chose to go against God so he could die with Eve. He loved her so much. He knew she was going to die and he chose to die also. We are living in the awful result of this. Although there are wonderful things to enjoy in life, but no matter how wonderful some things are, we know we face death.
Prophecy is not history, prophecy is guess that can occasionally be construed as correct with the right amount of twisting facts.
Interesting how all god belivers seem to know the mind of their unknowable god.
We are living as the result of greed, a human trait, no god needed
Yes, the 'Great War' (wwI) was called by man as the war to end all wars.
wwII proved man wrong.
Proving man wrong does Not prove the Bible as wrong.
At the time of both world wars the international spreading of good news was Not yet global in scope - Matthew 24:14
Today we are now internationally at that ' final phase ' of Matthew 24:14; Acts of the Apostles 1:8
Ok so the war in Ukraine is the war to end all wars.
I suppose one could say that Adam was greedy thus mankind inherited Adam's greedy trait.
Adam deliberately chose suicide rather then live without Eve.
Besides greed, humans can choose between good fruit or bad fruit traits - Galatians 5:19-23
So, yes greed can be dangerous because a person can become greedy to the point of bringing ruin on oneself.
Ukraine is Not Armageddon. Armageddon is the war that is to end all wars - Psalms 46:9
Remember: before the outbreak of the great tribulation of Revelation 7:14 the powers in charge will be saying, " Peace and Security......" meaning things will look Rosy but leading people down that so-called Primrose Path.
- 1 Thessalonians 5:2-3
Or you vould say mammals are generally greedy and adam and eve are mythical figures created so give an explanation of life to ignorant people.
Ask Ukrainians who have had their lives torn apart.
Yes, like WW1 was the war to end all wars
Ukraine is Not a world war.
Armageddon takes in the whole world.
WW1 was Not the Bible's war to end all wars - Revelation 17:8-11 - The League of Nations then the United Nations.
Before Armageddon the war to end all wars - Psalms 46:9 - the political will surprisingly turn on the religious world.
Particularly intense against 'Christendom' (so-called Christian but mostly in name only) because she often plays false to God and Jesus.
There is no point in going on. I don't do god magic so im out of this conversation
Thank you for your reply.
To learn what the Bible teaches has nothing to with magic, God or otherwise, but adding to one's fund of knowledge.
At least now you know what to watch for, keep on the watch, to see if in harmony with current international events.
I too, whisper to my coffee, " Be strong !"
Right I'll watch out for the next war to end all wars
By mammals I think of animals 'who go by instinct' but with man it is man's heart involved - Genesis 8:21
Animal life in a sense ' fears ' us - Genesis 9:2. That can now serve as a protection for them.
Whether believed or not the Bible teaches a returning to peace between people and animals - Isaiah 65:25
Some animals could show humans a thing or two about how to live in harmony
Have you actually read the bible, the OT where it teaches death and genocide, rape and slavery?
First, take note of things even before the powers that be will be saying, "Peace and Security...." said before the outbreak of the coming great tribulation.
The world seems to be experiencing more-and-more flood-like obstacles, fire-like trials, problems too BIG to solve.
But oh how honey sweet is the message that there is coming ' healing ' for earth's nations - Revelation 22:2
I enjoy watching the antics of the squirrels in the back yard.
Years ago I had hung up what was supposed to be just a decorative out house.
Wow, did those feathered friends show interest in it but the opening needed to be enlarged. Go figure it !
Once the hole was widened that 'out house' has been in continuous use by the birds for years now.
For one thing, ancient Israel was never in the international slave-trade business.
A woman was considered as innocent when she screamed when being attacked by a rapist.
Remember: 'death' is the total complete asking price for sin, so the dead will be resurrected - Acts of the Apostles 24:15
Genocide extermination existed in Bible times and attempted genocide is found in the book of Ester. - Hitler later.
Abraham was concerned about Sodom and Gomorrah - Genesis 18:20-33 <- notice how God answered.
Sad to say but the cruel Canaanites where notorious for burning their children - 2 Kings 16:3; Jeremiah 7:31
However, when some Canaanites expressed wanting mercy they got it - Joshua 6:25; Joshua 9:3, 24-26.
