Bring Back Peace and Love

Bring back peace and love (Behind the song)

It is true that there was a generation years ago that was one said to be one of peace and love. It  has not morphed into an increase of peace and love, for the world is in worse condition now in that area than it was 60 years ago. Unfortunately, there are a lot of barriers to peace and love. As the song says , “Tear down these walls, crash through these hardened stones, break through these hearts”. There are so many hardened viewpoints that put walls between us. Peace and love cannot survive and grow in that environment. So we need to bring back peace and love to stay but which peace and love. How far back must we go to find a genuine peace and love when the history of the world for the last 6000 years has been filled with wars , hate and indifference. At the beginning of that time 6000 years ago where was peace and love then? The answer, “Further, Jehovah God planted a garden in Eʹden, toward the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed”.–Genesis 2:8. “Further, God blessed them, and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many, fill the earth and subdue it”,  Genesis 1:28.  “After that God saw everything he had made, and look! it was very good”. Genesis 1:31. Things started out on the right foot with peace and love, it could be called really GOOD.  But those free willed persons made a choice that did not remain in that good condition. Does that mean that the standard of peace and love was foiled by mere whims of humanity at that early time. Absolutely not!  As the song says ‘Let everyone see your smile, sweetness, heart and kindness’. All those pleasant qualities will be manifest especially when these words are fulfilled by the leader of Christianity , “Truly I tell you today, you will be with me in Paradise”.- Luke 23:43. That Paradise filled with peace and love is symbolically portrayed with the following,  “And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, flowing out from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of its main street. On both sides of the river were trees of life producing 12 crops of fruit, yielding their fruit each month. And the leaves of the trees were for the healing of the nations.  And there will no longer be any curse.”– Revelation 22:1-3
