God gives us this promise at Micah 4:4--"But everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree, And no one shall make them afraid; For the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken."
Does this not give us hope for a better future?

I know it will.
Part of the reason is the "stuff written thousands of years ago" that prophesied "the reality of the present."
Consider 2 Timothy 3:1-5 - "But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away."
Since this has come to pass, I have no doubt that the prophecies for good also will!

The fig tree prophecy was explained by Jesus in Matthew chapter 24. (See the source below for a study on the Fig Tree Prophecy.) Basically it means that when Israel, represented by the fig tree, becomes a nation again the believer would know that the end times are at hand. It is not a time of peace but a time of great trouble.

I don't believe in coincidences, but it's interesting -- I read this same passage in Micah this morning! Then, the spirit directed me to read from Zechariah.
I think the world has a number of years to go before violence will end. Even if the Tribulation started today (which it couldn't, for various reasons), those dwelling on the earth would still have 7 years to go before Jesus' return.
Maranatha!

the difficulty is they'd't be dealt with. The deal that could please them might basically be one selection: What they % is the destruction of Israel (that's what Hamas needs, and extremely almost another Muslim on the face of the earth, quite lots). they do no longer % Israel to exist. this is the total purpose. The U.S. help of Israel is going hand in hand with the destruction of Israel, because of the fact without that, Israel does no longer exist. The purpose isn't inevitably changing all human beings to Islam, in spite of the undeniable fact that some communities use that as a rallying cry. yet, if Israel have been destroyed, and the Jews have been the two killed or flushed from the area, there does no longer be as huge of an argument between them and us. the difficulty that all human beings interior the international has with those communities are their strategies. somewhat of conversing peacefully, somewhat of sitting down at a table, agreeing, and keeping their supplies, there is often some enthusiast that then is going out, after the peace accords are made, and targets civilians and blows him or herself up, alongside with 20-50 civilians (adult males, females, and young ones), interior the call of Allah for the total reason of destroying Israel. they're coaching their toddlers hatred of the Jews, and in many techniques are lots worse than the Nazis ever have been. focused on civilians with rockets additionally qualifies Hezbollah as a terrorist team.

As long as there are religious freaks out there ,especially in the Middle East who use scripture as an excuse to kill people ..no ,violence and terrorism will not end.
Warped minds use a book that influences many and quote from a book read by many to further their own agenda as an end to their own diabolical schemes which inevitably is the end.

No.
The rest is all about his tree in heaven. That will be the safest place for hope when the world comes to an end.
Take care. Have a nice day.

War and violence have been around since man set foot on this Earth... it is the nature of the beast.... man will always have something to fight about, so I don't see the end of war, violence, terrorism anywhere in the future.

I don't think it will end so long as we are on earth, I think the peace will come when we reach Heaven. The war between good and evil has been going on since the beginning of time, therefore it will continue until the end of time.

I see what you are saying, but what about the tribulation it talks about in Revelations? Persecution, more terror, and many things that we haven't seen yet are going to occur. That is why Jesus tells us to stand firm, and not be shaken. We have a better future when this life ends, and that is about it.

I think that the verse gives us hope but I don't think that all the violence and terrorism will end soon, although I wish it would.
