Greg Laurie :
Some people say Christians are happy about war in the Middle East because we want to see Armageddon happen. Nothing could be further from the truth.
We want peace. In fact, the Bible specifically tells us to “pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” Our desire is not conflict, but that people across the region would experience freedom—especially the freedom to worship God.
We pray for the people of Israel and the people of Iran alike—that there would be a genuine spiritual awakening and that many would come to Christ.
After all, so much of the history of the Bible unfolded in that very part of the world, and Scripture tells us that Jesus Himself will one day return to the Mount of Olives.
Let’s all do what Scripture calls us to do: pray—for peace, for freedom, and for hearts to turn to God.
