Current Wars In The Middle East

Q. How should we as Christians view the current war between USA and the middle east?
I’m supporting a soldier in the middle east by writing to her … then I hear people saying what about the innocents of war and why support men and women who are sent to murder and kill? Whats Gods view on all this? Isn’t this war part of end times prophecy?

A. The current middle east wars are only part of prophecy to the extent that wars are among the birth pangs Jesus spoke of in Matt. 24:6-8. Our men and women in uniform don’t make policy but are called upon to risk their lives by enforcing it.  They deserve our respect and support.
