Beating weapons (swords) into Plowshares is not only something that will happen in the future according to the prophets of the Tanak (Isaiah 2 vs 4). It is something that is already happening in Israel with the rockets that are fired OVER the WALL in Gaza, towards Israel.
Can you imagine the fear of every day wondering and worrying when the next siren is about to go off because of an “In coming rocket”? Or having to have a bomb shelters in your town so you can survive! I cannot even think of it! My town has an old building that has been a school and there is a plaque on the front of the building saying it is a “fallout shelter”. (This is on the building. There is one at both front entrances)
We do not have rockets fired at us, so it is just a comfort knowing we have a shelter. This is not the case in Israel! The bomb shelters have play areas for children. That is how often the people in the community have to take shelter.
Here is a webpage that creates beauty out of horrible rockets.
