Elijah, sir, you would enjoy more credibility if you
appealed to your listeners with an agenda that, in
reality, prioritizes the well-being of the people. You
can't deny that you are a war advocate; you believe,
Elijah, in quote "a decisive war." You said this
yourself, and we deserve an explanation. Whether
David, or Emmanuel, or Solomon, regardless of
your reference, patronizing Biblical characters to
justify war is not acceptable to people who, in
modern society, purely desire peace.
ELIJAH
I'll say again, Counselor Locke, Almighty God's
Israeli prophets labor to instruct the people with a
pure focus on Scripture itself. We are revealing to
all what is about to happen, not in advocacy of a
human agenda. David was a man of war because
the Philistines continuously attacked and challenged
Israel. Solomon began his reign with the elimination,
the killing of corrupt men who had sinned against
his father David. And Emmanuel, the Incarnate
Messiah of Israel, Zionism's king, is now to appear
to administer God's wrath. As in the Days of Noah
we advocate the fulfillment of Scripture; we are
revealing everything, belaboring the point that
Emmanuel's apocalyptic war is imminent in the
Middle East.
STEPHEN
Elijah, sir, you are in the habit of selectively using
particular verses to justify violence and war. I can
show you Biblical verses that support the argument
that war is not the answer. The peacemakers today
deserve more respect and deference than the
primitive, so-called Davidic warriors of yesteryear.
We have had enough of war; our goal now, I
certainly hope, is peace at all costs . . .
