Why the delay when so much hangs in the balance? Can they not see what is on the horizon and how the forces of destruction grow stronger? Has armed might brought peace? Has it subdued the enemy of destruction? Look at Iraq and what is happening. That is the lesson for you. Hold it before your eyes. Learn its lessons. Satan uses weapons of war for his own goals. He does not care who is wielding them as long as suffering and death are flourishing. This I have taught you time and again. Satan loves suffering, destruction and death. In this way, earth resembles his hell and the human race is changed into his image and likeness. Woe to the person who unleashes the forces of war! Blessed is the person of peace!

Learn this lesson also. Peace does not lie in the hands of man. Peace lies only in my hands. I am the Queen of Peace and my Son is the God of peace. Did he ever take up a weapon? Did he ever instruct his disciples to strike back? Did he believe that the Romans should be overturned? This was not his agenda. He was a man of peace who saw the true means of peace. This message has been rejected and now war is everywhere and arms, even nuclear arms, proliferate.

I will raise up an army, yes an army. My soldiers will have a totally different vision. They will seek peace. They will hunger and thirst for peace. They will see the causes of war long before any conflict begins. (It takes a spiritual heart to sense the injustices that lead to war.) They will fight these injustices. They will convene people to speak about the issues, not about how to wage war but how to prevent war. They will expose the arms dealers, those merchants of death, who count their profits even while their products deal destruction.

I do not say that peace is easy. I say this, “It is easier to fight your wars than to bring about my peace. It is easier to drop your bombs and send your drones, than it is to protect, to settle a people and to address the issues. I will raise up an army of soldiers of peace.
