"a cloud received him out of their sight" - Frictions between Christians and Muslims



Tokyo



Frictions between Christians and Muslims


Whatever has happened in the world, you have to calmly wait for the promised coming of Christ Jesus.

There were many acts of terrors, wars, and armed conflicts.  But they never settled definitely. One change in situations led to occurrence of another event.  And some people were sacrificed while a majority of others simply survived with some lessons that never taught them a final solution.

Due to accumulated amounts of evil deeds, contaminated desires, and committed crimes, a terror or any other terrible incident occurs at some interval of time in the world.

Having said so, this incident of the terror in Paris is really alarming.  The US was attacked in 2001, London was attacked in 2005, and now Paris is now experiencing terror in 2015.  Terrorists are all Islamic.  Apparently the focus of history is now on Islam.

Though you might not believe at all, a third world war-class tragedy can be triggered by this situation involving Muslims in a global scale.  For example, before WWI, nobody probably believed that the Judaist issue would trigger a world war after the then coming World War I.

Indeed after 2001, many Muslims have been killed in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Gaza, etc.  Even before 2001, European Muslims in the Balkans and the south of Russia were killed in a large number.

Something decisive, a third world war-class tragedy, seems to have already begun with Muslims.

And this movement might converge on Israel sooner or later.

But can it be realized that Israel ceases to be a threat to Muslims and the Islamic world advances economically to accommodate all the Muslims living and working in Europe to erase frictions between Christians and Muslims?    

The path to such a final state must be, however, full of tragic accidents like the one recently observed in Paris and still going on there.

Act 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Act 1:10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
Act 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
