It is a time in the year when we get poignant reminders of what our forebears did to defeat hatred and racist genocide just over seventy years ago. Yet genocidal racist hatred is now perpetrated by our leaders if we live in certain countries. Those fighters against it and the subsequent trials of the perpetrators of hatred in the twentieth century missed going far enough and a remnant was left, like the Bible reminds us happened in Joshua’s time. Now attempts to complete the sacred duty are underway but thwarted by the spreading of the hatred, and now the putting off of the evil day could bring in a reign of terror and ominous mushroom clouds later. God is concerned about it as much as in Joshua’s time. Fear God and not men. Love God and love the children of God in the body of Christ even in countries the leaders tell us to hate. Give glory to God by confessing things were delayed and not completed when they should have been.
