This document contains three excerpts discussing war, God's wrath, and human arrogance. The first excerpt lists the durations of major wars in US history as well as the ongoing War on Terror. The second excerpt states that while descriptions of God's judgment may be figurative, the meaning of God's wrath is clear. The third excerpt likens modern people to Pharaohs and Caesars, intent on controlling their own worlds despite not being the true masters of the universe, and says humans can either humble themselves before God or harden their hearts as Pharaoh did.
