Solomon
prayed in II Chronicles 6 and I Kings 8 that if God released war on the people
because of their sin, that when they repented, He would hear and answer. Throughout
the Bible, wars and judgments were released on a people who were walking in
disobedience against God and not turning to Him.
Acts
15:26-27 says that God “has determined the pre-appointed times and boundaries
of their dwellings, that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is
not far from each one of us.”
What
does it mean when the boundary lines of a nation are changed? The changing of
boundary lines of nations typically means war. And changing boundary lines
means that God is giving an opportunity for men to grope for Him and find Him.
God
answered Solomon’s prayer in II Chronicles and said, “If my people who are
called by my name will humble themselves and pray, turn from the wicked ways, I
will hear from heaven, and heal their land…”
The
answer to war and the changing of boundary lines is not a political solution or
a solution derived from man. The answer is for men to grope for God and find Him.
The answer is for men to call on His name and He will answer them, and heal
their land.
