What happens when we love the lord?
I was looking at some world maps this morning… before and after the two world wars, and from the age of empires. Many of the wars and conquests over time have been fought in the name of the lord.
I think many in Europe finally got tired of non-stop wars, conquests and imperialism. Countries like Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany (Prussia) and others had large territories all over the world. They finally began giving those territories back to the natives. At one time Prussia/Germany (combo of Germans and Russians) was a huge country. After WWI, Russia moved in and claimed that and other Eastern European countries, and the Brits claimed the Ottoman territory. Then of course came the Cold War and later the collapse of the Soviet Union. And now, Russia wants ‘their territory’ back… just as the Germans wanted their territory back that was lost after the First World War.
The more things change, the more they stay the same…. All in the name of “the Lord.”
