Join us on a profound exploration titled ‘The Holy Wars,’ where we delve into the Bible’s intricate narrative of conflict and conquest. Throughout the sacred texts, from the journeys of the Patriarchs to the Israelites’ arduous battles for the Promised Land, warfare is a recurring theme. The Bible portrays God not just as a divine presence but as a formidable warrior leading His people through the tumult of ancient warfare.
In our session on November 4th at 10:30 a.m. CT, we will examine the scriptural accounts of divine battles, where even God is depicted as a combatant fighting for justice and righteousness. We’ll discuss the enigmatic ancient sources referenced in the Bible, including one specifically titled with the word ‘war,’ and another, a lost work only known through brief scriptural excerpts—both connected by the common thread of conflict.
The quest for peace is a central pillar of the biblical vision, yet the scriptures do not shy away from the wars fought to forge a path to that peace. The biblical narrative does not offer an alternative route that avoids warfare; instead, it candidly acknowledges conflict as a part of the divine plan to reach a peaceful end.
Do not miss this opportunity to explore ‘The Holy Wars’ in our LIVESTREAM. Engage with the stories that have shaped centuries of belief, where every battle and every act of valor narrated brings us closer to understanding the Bible’s ultimate goal of peace amidst the echoes of war.
