God's holy days, as the divine masterplan of eternal abundant life, have been initially entrusted to a small group of individuals willing to surrender to a rigorous sanctification process that the rest of the world finds incomprehensible. As the time of Christ's return draws closer (symbolized by the Feast of Trumpets or Yom Teruah), vigilance, faithfulness, and rigid focus have become increasingly more important to God's called-out saints or first fruits. God want us to remove our focus from the temporal, hedonistic, selfish pursuits onto eternal, service-oriented things (ironically a kind of altruistic hedonism) far more pleasurable than physical pursuits. James 4:2-6 indicates that war results from selfish pursuits or spiritual unfaithfulness (spiritual harlotry) both on the personal and national level. Physical Israel has never learned to trust God for their protection, resulting in hatred of different nations. Only God's chosen saints have been given the needed comprehension to know how the world's rebellion against God will end. The natural mind (garden variety carnal human nature) cannot understand the plan of God. But the receipt of God's spirit and sanctification changes the way of life from self-centered to God centered (as God's laws are planted in the interior of the heart (Hebrews 8:10; 10:16; Jeremiah 31-31-33), enabling the keeping the law in thought, word, and deed (Matthew 5:17-20). As God's chosen saints, we now have our citizenship registered in heaven, as we are assigned role as ambassadors in a foreign land, awaiting the return of Christ, when we will join those who have previously died in Christ (I Thessalonians 4:14-18) to help our Warrior King subdue all the rebellious nations of the earth, putting an end to war forever (Micah 4:3).
