War , by its nature , is unfocused , indiscriminate , and especially in our time when the technology is so murderous , inevitably involves the deaths of large numbers of people and the suffering of even more . But everything I have read says that the audience is profoundly affected by the scenes of suffering , the suffering of Iraqis , and the suffering of the parents of slain soldiers . The later episodes of The Bible Series feature the Israelites ’ escape from Egyptian slavery , struggles led by Joshua , Saul , David and Solomon to establish a homeland for the Israelites , and the suffering and redemption of the Jews as told by the prophets Elijah , Isaiah and Jeremiah . The house in which he resided was so filled with the poor and the suffering , that room could hardly be found amidst the crowd for his visitors . War will lead to additional deaths and the suffering of many people in the U.S. and abroad .
