"He shall judge between the nations,
and impose terms on many peoples.
They shall beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into prunning hooks;
one nation shall not raise the sword against another,
nor shall they train for war again.
O house of Jacob, come,
let us walk in the light of the Lord!"
(Is 2:4-5)
Were I to envision the future, this is how it will be: instruments of death transformed into tools that give life; no more training for war, because there will be no more wars, instead, people will be learning to truly live.
I think this is everybody's dream, especially of our brothers and sisters whose only experience of life is to run from one place to another, just trying to save their lives and, if they are lucky enough, to have food, shelter, an education, work.
I think this is every person's dream. But we have to extend this dream beyond the limited circle of our friends and family, beyond ethnic and national boundaries. And, in order to do this, there is one condition: give back to the true God the Lordship and live our lives according to God's original plan.
