Today I prayed for all those who are in our armed forces, and for all the families of those who recently lost a loved one in Iraq or Afghanistan...
I asked the Lord that, whoever these people are, that He would help and comfort each one of them as they grieve. Justified or not, good or bad, war always brings pain and loss and many casualties.
Concerning the war in Iraq, as I prepare this journal entry, more than 400 of our American troops have lost their lives in Iraq. Many by combat, many by acts of terrorism to include mines and bombs. Some have also died as a result of tragic accidents.
I wrote some of my feelings about this conflict when it first began (April 2003). I primarily focused on the spiritual aspects of this particular war, as well as the fascinating Biblical history of what is now modern-day Iraq.
Now, as this war continues, I am convinced more than ever that there is a spiritual component to this conflict. It is not simply the American military - with the British and some other countries involved too - versus loyalists to Saddam Hussein, or various groups of terrorists. Yes, on the surface this is so. But I believe that, in the spiritual realm, there are forces far more diabolical that are at work. And these demonic forces are operating through wicked men who want to destroy both America and Israel.
