The conflicts in the earth are, at their root, a result of people groups believing there is some inherent right to the land.  Yet the earth is not man’s.  It is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof.   God placed man upon the earth to steward the earth on His behalf.  However, if we choose not to steward the land on behalf of the Lord then what?
