Jesus needs to hurry the hell up.
Well, to me, we are all certainly invited to pray the invitation for Jesus to come - Revelation 22:20 B

This is the beautiful thing about you that I love so much!
You are a true peacemaker! I would feel very much at home in your world.
The lamb and the lion laying down together, I understand, is a metaphor used to symbolize the conflicting creeds and beliefs and indicating that the day WILL come when they will live side by side in peace.
That day is up to us and how we mature and praise the good in each others Faiths and refrain from demonizing another religion because of the few.

Well actually I do agree that God's "plan" is for us to establish world peace or at least support building the foundations for such a peace in our families, communities and nations. Back in 1868 Baha'u'llah while a prisoner in Adrianople and Akka of the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire wrote Tablets to the world's then rulers and advised them to establish a world parliament and an international court of arbitration to resolve conflicts. There's a volume entitled "The Summons of the Lord of Hosts" on line at:

God is love, but God is not merely love. God is Holy, just, merciful ....
Jesus is the Prince of peace, but not necessarily ultimate peace for everyone.

Good Lord!
I don't have much to say about that video except that maybe he could have used another voice for it.
It is written that Jesus would cause division and I have had another inspiration.
Perhaps he said that we would know division. He causes us to see why there exists division.

Did you make this?
At any rate, this video is a perfect example of religion in all its "glory". I know many Christians, and most, if not all of them, would expressly dismiss this video as a malformed interpretation of the passages of The Bible used herein.
But wait... isn't this guy and his video "on their side"? How is it that it is so obvious that he's misrepresenting God's intentions, and yet they aren't? Don't they have to accept at least some "tomfoolery" from their fellow Christians? I mean, they believe in God, this guy believes in God... and yet this video in no way represents them? So, where does that put us with respect to weeding out "the truth" from all of the varied accounts and interpretations? Welcome to "square one" - I hope you find it comfortable, you're going to be here for quite a while.
When Jesus said 'the truth will set one free' Jesus was talking about ' religious truth ' as found in Scripture.
Jesus was referring to Scripture that 'thy word' (Scripture) is religious truth - John 17:17,3
So, 'what is biblically true' sets us free from what is non-biblical but just being taught as being Scripture.
Since the Bible is Not written ABC as a dictionary, then Bible research needs to be done systematically by subject or topic arrangement in order to see what the Bible really teaches. A comprehensive concordance puts the Bible in alphabetical order. The Bible has parallel or corresponding cross-reference verses and passages that helps us ' weed' out what is religiously false by showing the internal harmony among its many Bible writers.
What was Jesus' yoke (easy and light) but doing what Jesus did according to Luke 4:43 but to preach/teach.
Jesus was always neutral in the affairs of the world and so where his apostles.
They did Not even get involved in the issues of the day between the Jews verses the Romans.
Their weapons were ' faith and love ' as mentioned at 1 Thessalonians 5:8. - 1 Peter 1:8; James 2:5
The ' yoke' Jesus gave his followers was to also preach and teach - Matthew 24:14; Matthew 28:18-20
So, No matter what goes on in the world, there is No need for a genuine 'wheat' Christian to literally fight.
That would be wonderful if we/us could make that ' day ' happen.
King Solomon observed that man dominates man to man's hurt or man's injury - Ecclesiastes 8:9
First, to me, we can be that symbolic lamb/lion being at peace side-by-side with each other and toward each other.
But, ultimately the biblical ' day ' is a ' thousand-year day ' when Jesus, as Prince of Peace, ushers in global Peace on Earth among only people of goodwill.

Why didn't your god create world peace from the very beginning?

I believe the dawn of that day has begun and signs are appearing now of an age of tolerance and peace.
According to BKs ,Peace could be achieved , if we realize that each of us is a soul whose original nature is peaceful. We recognize the original qualities of soul to be virtuous .So peace , isn't something we go looking for outside ,it is within us , just need to peel off the outer layers of body consciousness's.
As long and as much is the attachment to body and bodily possession , there is going to be restlessness and no peace.
It is soul consciousness which could bring back Peace and Happiness.
