President Obama gives justification for war in his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech

In his acceptance speech of the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway, United States President Obama gave a clear justification for war as he said that he is the commander-in-chief of a nation that is in the midst of two wars and that armed conflict is at times necessary. Obama said the reality and recognition of history with the imperfections of man and the limits of reason is why force is sometimes necessary because evil does exist in our world.

The president acknowledged that a non-violent movement could not have halted Hitler's army during the Holocaust and negotiations cannot convince al Qaeda's leaders to lay down their weapons.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

US President Obama's justification for war in his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech is stating the obvious as it relates to the future as described in Bible prophecy.

For the man who describes himself as the commander-in-chief of two wars, President Obama's justification for war in his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech revealed reality in today's world. President Obama's illustration of Adolf Hitler's horrific Holocaust and the armed struggle being led by the Islamic terrorist group al Qaeda are excellent examples of situations that demand an armed battle to defeat evil. Couple the use of these two illustrations with the president's referring to "war" 35 times and "peace" 29 times in his speech and you have a message to the world that speaks of a future scenario that can be found in Bible prophecy.

Daniel 9:27 speaks of a period of peace in the future brought about through the work of a one world dictator, the Antichrist, who brings this peace to the world, howbeit, it will be a short lived pseudo-peace. Jesus Christ, in Matthew 24:16, says the future holds a terrible time of wars and rumors of wars. Joel, the ancient Jewish prophet, reveals the truth of the world's largest militant militia ever formed made up of the nations of the Arab and Islamic world (Joel 2:2). Another Jewish prophet tells of a coming Holocaust of Jewish people when 2 out of every 3 Jews on Earth will be killed (Zechariah 3:8).

There, indeed, is a prophetic significance to President Obama's speech in Oslo, Norway - a speech that gave reference to events that will yet happen.

Bible prophecy will be fulfilled.
