Micah 4:3-4 He shall judge between many peoples,
and shall arbitrate between strong nations far away;
they shall beat their swords into ploughshares,
and their spears into pruning-hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more;
but they shall all sit under their own vines and under their own fig trees,
and no one shall make them afraid;
for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken.
E'en so, Lord Jesus, quickly come!
Show us your justice between nations and peoples.
Help us to beat our swords into ploughshares, our Predator drones into fertilizer planes.
Show us how to put the swords away forever; teach us something other than war.
Give us each a vine and a fig tree, a safe place to eat and be satisfied, not looking over the hill to see whose fig tree looks bigger.
Banish fear forever.
E'en so, Lord Jesus, quickly come!
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
