What then is war? Hmm... A good question. Sun Tsu, one of the ancient Chinese military strategists opined: War is a deception. Reportedly Napoleon subcribed to the idea (we are told he kept Sun Tsu's book, The Art of War always close to him throughout the battles).
David a seasoned war-vetran seems to concur, for even as he praises the Lord, he prays, "Rescue me from the mighty waters, from the hands of foreiners..." What does "mighty waters" refer to? Tsunami that will hit LA/California sooner than later, as Bob Jones, the self-appointed prophet of St. Louis (or Atlanta?), prophesied? Wait! What about the "foreingers"? Who are they? Aliens infading the planet earth?
If Sun Tsu, Napoleon, or David is right, it has something, if not everything, to do with 'deception', for David further cries out, "Deliver me from [the foreiners] whose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are deceiptful..." Stop right there. What about their 'right' hands? Well, you figure it out.
So the world (cyber world or non-cyber world) is inundated with the mighty waters of untruths, no truths, half truths, straight lies, and all other sorts of lies. Flood, flood, flood. Thusnami, Tsunami, Tsuuunnnammiii... [Does the expression 'the great prostitute sitting on many waters' seem familiar?]
What then is a money saving and life saving idea? Well, it apepars that Japanese people who often get swamped by waves of tsunamies know it better, for according to the one of the Japanese saying, "The one who gets deceived is worse than the one who deceives." So when you are tempted to say, "The devil made me do it", you may wish to reconsider.
Jesus also has his own Money saving, Yea, Life saving idea: "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life." All three in one, and only one. John 14:6
But first thing first - way leading to the truth leading to life. Which way? This way: Pro 27:21; 17:3; Malachi 3:2, and then the link entitled "Refiner's Fire" [to come]. Have a nice day.
