Matthew 24:6
Again, do not try to make the Lord say anything he is not saying. We know that war has continued in spite of the first coming of Christ. From our perspective this is easy to understand, but for the disciples it might seem amazing that the propensity of the world for war would stay such even after the coming of the Messiah. This age has indeed been an age of war. Many of these wars have been great. Israel, Jerusalem, and the Jewish people have suffered in many of these conflicts. But, referring to their last question, Jesus made them to understand that many wars in many places would not be the harbinger of the end times. Perhaps the world wars would be a good example. To many, they may have seemed to be the end of the world, but they were not.
