Bible Note: Eccl 3:1 There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven-- Eccl 3:2 A time to give birth and a time to die; A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted. Eccl 3:3 A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to tear down and a time to build up. Eccl 3:4 A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to mourn and a time to dance. Eccl 3:5 A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing. Eccl 3:6 A time to search and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep and a time to throw away. Eccl 3:7 A time to tear apart and a time to sew together; A time to be silent and a time to speak. Eccl 3:8 A time to love and a time to hate; A time for war and a time for peace. Eccl 3:16 Furthermore, I have seen under the sun that in the place of justice there is wickedness and in the place of righteousness there is wickedness. Eccl 3:17 I said to myself, "God will judge both the righteous man and the wicked man," for a time for every matter and for every deed is there. Dan 11:44 "But rumors from the East and from the North will disturb him, and he will go forth with great wrath to destroy and annihilate many. 2 Matt 24:6 "You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end. 3 Mark 13:7 "When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end. Commentary: Of course there is killing in time of war and the Lord talked about war saying it would take place. We are to love our enemies by praying that they become followers of Him then they are no longer enemies when they become followers of the Lord. |
