A United World - Is it Possible?


Is there any hope that our world will ever be united? Frankly, yes! But the source of true unity is not man  or man-made religions.

"The Bible contains God's promise that the world will be unified but not by man's efforts. The Creator, who purposed that mankind would live in peace worldwide, will accomplish what man cannot. To some, all of that might seem far-fetched. Yet, God's purpose from the very beginning has been for mankind to live in peace and harmony. Many Scriptures in the Bible give evidence that bringing the human race into a unified condition is still God's purpose. Consider just a few examples:

"Come, you people, behold the activities of Jehovah, how he has set astonishing events on the earth. He is making wars to cease to the extremity of the earth. The bow he breaks apart and does cut the spear in pieces; the wagons he burns in the fire." - Psalm 46:8,9

"They will not do any harm or cause any ruin in all my holy mountain;  because the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters are covering the very sea." - Isaiah 11:9

"He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. And the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Jehovah himself has spoken it." - Isaiah 25:8

"There are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting according to his promise, and in these righteousness is to dwell." - 2 Peter 3:13

"He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." - Revelation 21:4

Can You Control Your Destiny?


What controls your future? Here are two opposing statements regarding this.

"Humans can no more be masters of their destiny than any other animal." - John Gray, evolutionist

"Man is not an animal, and is therefore always in control of his own destiny." - Shmuley Boteach, author of the book An Intelligent Person's Guide to Judaism


Many people believe that blind forces of nature control the destiny of the human family. Others thinks that  man is a creation of God equipped with the  ability to have control over his future.

Some feel that their future is controlled by powerful human forces. Others throughout history have felt helpless because they thought that supernatural forces controlled their destiny.

What about you? What do you believe? Has your destiny already been fixed by forces completely beyond your control?  Or is there some truth in Shakespeare's words, "Men at some time are masters of their fates"?

The link below gives an in-depth examination of this subject. Please follow and read on.
