War and PeaceLuke 12:49-57 Jesus came to cast fire upon the earth, And give true believers a second birth; In hopes that it were already inflamed, For the Holy Spirit has been proclaimed; He has a baptism to be baptized thence, For receiving eternal life to commence; For he is constrained until all is finish, As war breaks out from another skirmish; Did Jesus come to give peace worldwide? Rather division causing families to divide; For just one house will be divided by five, In struggles making it difficult to survive; Three against two and two against three, Bloodshed along family line will decree; They'll be divided with son against father, As well as the mother against the daughter; When you see a cloud rise out of the west, A shower will soon come in thought as best; And when you feel that a south wind blow, The temperature will be hotter you know.
