Armistice: arma (weapons) sistere (come to a stop).
The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. An armistice was signed, ending the “Great War,” the “war to end all war.”
Only it didn’t. There have been more wars.
Matthew 24:6 (NIV)
You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
Armageddon (Revelation 16) will be the war that ends all war. When the Prince of Peace comes to establish his kingdom, weapons will come to a stop.
Even so, Lord Jesus, come.
And when you’ve got to have a war, bring the best…
Happy Birthday USMC! 243 years and going strong!
