What the Bible says about Racial Strife
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Matthew 24:7 In Matthew 24:3, the disciples ask Jesus Christ: “Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” In the course of His answer, in verse 7, Jesus speaks of nation rising against nation. “Nation” is a translation of ethnos (Strong's #1484), which means “a tribe, nation, people, group.” We can understand Jesus' words to mean one ethnic group fighting another. It can describe national wars or cultural or racial strife. It is different from “kingdom against kingdom,” where our Savior uses the word basileia (Strong's #992), which means “the region or country governed by a king.” Over the past few years, cultural and racial strife has rocked this nation, especially its cities. We have seen the very foundations of our society attacked, and they are tottering. How much more additional stress can they take?
