                                                                    World Concord

They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.
                                                                                           ~ Isaiah 2:4

  "Oh, that these happy times were come! At present the nations are heavily armed and are inventing weapons more and more terrible. Yet peace will prevail one day; yes, and so prevail that the instruments of destruction shall be beaten into other shapes and used for better purposes.
  How will this come about? Lasting peace will be established only by the reign of the Prince of Peace. He must teach the people by His Spirit, renew their hearts by His grace, and reign over them by His supreme power; and then will they cease to wound and kill.
  Let every reader of this book of promises offer special prayer today to the Lord and Giver of Peace, that He would speedily put an end to war and establish concord over the whole world." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
