The Purpose and Sense of It
William S. Stoertz

Moscow, Russia

     Although the war in Yugoslavia continues, the 
purpose and sense of it has been clarified, or has 
become clear:
     1. We must live together and love one another, 
going beyond differences of race, religion, nationality 
or language.
     2. The fallen people in their miserable state of 
evil mind are an outrage to Heaven and earth.
     3. The depravity of men on earth causes anguish 
and contention even in heaven.
     4. Even the mighty forces of heaven and earth 
cannot change the ill will and ill doings of people 
against their will -- they will do them anyway.
     5. What goes around comes around, or in other 
words, "Here we go again," meaning that what had 
not been completely restored in the past will crop 
up again in the times of restitution of all things.
     6. Evil people tend to go back to their wicked 
ways, and the same patterns repeat. In the Bible, 
"A dog returns to his vomit."
     7. This is the Judgment Day.
     8. What people want, they will get, absolutely, 
inevitably, and by all means. If they are good, their 
good desire will be fulfilled ultimately. If they are 
evil, they will eventually attain the object of their 
evil desire.
     9. Let us build the Kingdom of Heaven, "right 
away!"
    10. All the different people of this world can 
never unite and never make peace except through 
the common Parents of all mankind, the Parents 
of Heaven and earth.
    11. In spite of her mistakes, America (the USA) 
is the nation of God, and having passed through 
the scathing fire of judgment herself, is now in the 
position to do God's will on the world level.
    12. God can and will even work through sinful 
people if and when they take the position of 
responsibility in His providence.

     I just wrote down the above as reflections upon 
the situation in Yugoslavia. Although the war is 
going on, the essence of it and the message of 
it has already become clear. We can continue, 
but actually we cannot prevent them from hating 
and fighting, if that's what they want to do.
     Meanwhile, Yugoslavia, and especially Kosovo, 
which was already a poor country, have become 
destroyed, for both sides. They should not see it 
as something that America or NATO did, but 
what they brought upon themselves by their 
mutual hatred. Then let this be a lesson for all 
those others who continue to hate each other, 
that that is not the way.
     At the same time, probably in the future, the 
big countries and the world simply will not intervene 
in these situations, because it is just a big mess, 
and nothing anyone does can resolve it, except 
they themselves.
     The United Nations will most certainly gain a 
greater role from now on, and individual nations 
including the USA will most likely defer to the 
UN for matters like this. The likely role of the USA 
and NATO in the future will be to help conduct 
international diplomacy as well as relief, and to 
help protect or enforce UN policies and mandates.
     But the UN needs an absolute moral center, 
standard, and principle. If it is done right, this can 
be the Constitution of the Heavenly Kingdom on 
Earth.
     Of course, you and I know: such a thing cannot 
be the doing of people, by putting their heads 
together!
     So let's get beyond Kosovo and move on to 
the real business and task at hand.
