Pity Is That Humans Do Not Want to Live in Harmony 可惜人类不愿和谐相处

(1) Pray for World Peace: The End is Still to Come:

Jesus says, “ 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. ” ; “ 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” (Matthew 24: 6-7, 35)

(2) Christianity Versus Honor the Governing Authorities of Different Nations:

"Paul is writing to Gentile believers in the ancient Rome time to obey God-ordained authority of the church rulers in Rome, and not talking the Roman secular and government authority in the world", accordingly:

Paul says, “ 1 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. 4 For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.” (Romans 13: 1-4)

(3) Christian Countries Should Act and Do the Ways to Please God, Not Nations Against Nations:

Therefore, Paul said, “ 17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, 18 because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval. 19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.” (Romans 14: 17-19)

(4) Prayer of Faith - Keep on Praying for World as Well as Regional Peace:

Therefore, James says, “ 17 Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise.” (James 5: 13)

(1) 祈求世界和平：末日未到：

耶稣说：“6 你会听到战争和战争的谣言，但要注意不要惊慌。这样的事情一定会发生，但结局还在后头。 7 民族对抗民族，王国对抗王国。各地会发生饥荒和地震。” ; “35天地都会过去，我的话却永远不会过去。” （马太福音 24：6-7, 35 节）

(2) 基督教与尊重不同国家的执政当局：

"保罗写信给古罗马时代的外邦信徒，以顺服神命定的罗马教会统治者的权威，而不是谈论罗马世俗和世界上的政府权威"，因此：

保罗说：“1 当权柄的，人人当顺服，因为没有权柄不是出于神所设立的。存在的权威是上帝设立的。 2因此，谁反抗权威，就是反抗上帝所设立的，这样做的人会自取审判。 3 因为统治者不惧怕行善的人，却惧怕行恶的人。你想摆脱对当权者的恐惧吗？然后做正确的事，你会受到表扬。 4 因为掌权者是上主为你谋福利的仆人。但如果你做错了，要害怕，因为统治者不会无缘无故地持剑。他们是上帝的仆人，是愤怒的代理人，惩罚不法者。” （罗马书 13：1-4 节）

(3) 基督教国家应该以取悦上帝的方式行事，而不是国家对抗国家：

因此，保罗说：“17 因为神的国不在乎吃喝，只在乎公义、平安和圣灵里的喜乐，18 因为凡这样事奉基督的，就是神所喜悦的，蒙人悦纳的。 19 因此，让我们尽一切努力，做能带来和平和相互造就的事。” （罗马书 14：17-19节 ）

(4) 信心祷告 - 继续为世界和地区和平祈祷：

因此，雅各说：“17 你们中间有人遇到困难吗？让他们祈祷。有人快乐吗？让他们唱赞美歌。” （雅各书 5:13 节）
