A TIME OF PEACE

Presently we are living in a tumultuous time. According to the World Population Review, twenty-three countries are currently engaged in wars. Daily, we hear of wars, and with things escalating between Russia and Ukraine, there are rumors of a possible World War III happening. Besides the wars, senseless killings are also taking place. The World Report on Violence and Health reports that over 1.6 million people lost their lives to violence last year.

These events can be very disheartening for the inhabitant of this earth; however, for believers, we have an assurance of a time of peace that we will enjoy on this earth during the millennial reign of Jesus. His reign is set to take place after the war of Armageddon, the placement of Satan in the bottomless pit, and the casting of the Antichrist and the False Prophet into the lake of fire. (These two will spend more time in the lake of fire than every other being).

Jesus’ headquarters will be in Jerusalem. Isaiah 2:3-4 states, “And many people shall go and say, come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of Jacob, and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths, for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks; nation shall not lift up their sword against nations, neither shall they learn war any more.”  Yes, the world will not be perfect, for the scriptures reveal that Jesus will be ruling with a rod of iron, but under His rule, we know justice will prevail.

After enduring all of the climate changes that are presently affecting the earth, plus the twenty-one judgments that occur during the tribulation, the earth will also welcome and experience rest, restoration, and peace during the millennial reign of Jesus.

I am sharing this information with you because of the stress and pressures that people are voicing. I want you to be encouraged and know that things will change for the better. There will be peace on this earth and no destruction, and if you are a believer, you will be experiencing it with our Lord and King. Oh, what a great time that will be; I am anxiously looking forward to it, and I pray you are doing the same.
