IN THE STRUGGLE FOR WORLD PEACE In giving a dissertation upon world to rule – or to force his concept upon affairs of today, it is well to look back for others. Such attitudes exist in man’s a moment upon what has occurred in the experience today. Look for a moment affairs of nations of the earth, ever since upon those standards which have been records have been kept of man’s doings. proclaimed in the various lands! Also it would be well to look upon But we here, as individuals, have the promises along with the warnings accepted and do accept the tenets of the which have comprised the record of Nazarene, Jesus of Nazareth. His whole varied peoples, as they attempted to gospel was distilled in the message, present the moral, religious and secular “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with life.

PROPHECY & FREE WILL There is a dilemma concerning discussions on this subject and stated prophecy. Let us reason this out with an many times that we do indeed have free example. You are told by a renowned will and our thoughts of today create our clairvoyant that you will die in a car tomorrow. accident tomorrow. As the result of this Then perhaps a reason why the frightful prediction you stay in bed for prophecies of past events came about the whole day with the consequence that was because the participants in the you are still alive at the end of the day events were not consciously aware of the and the prophecy does not eventuate. prophecies and therefore were not in a Was the prophecy true or false? position to make choices which would Logic would tell you that the result in changing the predicted future. prophecy was false because the prophecy On the other hand if we were made did not come to pass. Yet one would aware of the prophecies and made efforts wonder what would have happened if you to avoid them this could thwart the had not consulted the clairvoyant or predicted fate. This use of our free will decided to ignore the prediction and would then account for the failure of drive in your car the next day. many prophecies to eventuate. If prophecies concerning future There arises from this another events always came true then despite any question: if we do indeed have free will efforts on your part to avoid your fate by and the future will depend on our use of staying at home the prediction would still this free will does God know the future – come about, perhaps by a car crashing is He omniscient?

This question was put to Perhaps the most renowned clairvoyant Cayce who gave this answer: on future events was Nostradamus “Having given free will, then, - (1503-1566) who foretold events for though having the foreknowledge, hundreds of years in the future up to this though being omnipotent and present time. omnipresent, - it is only when the soul Then this question must come to that is a portion of God chooses that God mind: do we have free will or are our knows the end thereof.” 5749 – 14 destinies pre-determined and we are An interpretation of this is that helpless to change these destinies?
