According to the Canadian Army Journal, a former president of the Norwegian Academy of Sciences, aided by historians from England, Egypt, Germany, and India, came up with some startling facts and figures. Since 3600 BC, the world has known only 292 years of peace. During that period, there have been 14,531 wars, large and small, in which 3,640,000,000 people have been killed. The monetary value of the destruction would pay for a golden belt around the world 97.2 miles in width and about thirty-three feet thick. Why can’t man ever achieve peace outside of Christ? Because there isn’t any peace outside of Christ!
Soli Deo gloria - to God alone be glory
