WHY PEACE?

2:51 PM

IN CASE YOU HAVE WONDERED ...

The last word in Aaronic Benediction is peace. What’s in that peace?

The LORD bless you, and keep you; the LORD make His face shine on you, and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up His countenance on you, and give you PEACE.’”

Why is PEACE the last word in this blessing? What kind of peace was Aaron transmitting to people and blessed them with?

Every night we enter peace and every Sabbath and then the Lord’s Day, Sunday, in which we rejoice in the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus.

The first fruits of the Holy Spirit are: Love, Joy and Peace. From these three stems everything that is heavenly and blessed.

[Matthew 5:9] Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers” (what’s in it?) – “For they shall be called sons of God.” 

USE LOGIC

If only the peacemakers are called God’s sons then all warmongers and warlike people must then not be called sons of God, but what? Where do they go? What do they inherit? Who are they?

[Matthew 7:16-20] By their fruits we shall know them.

[John 14:27] “Peace I leave with you; MY PEACE I GIVE TO YOU; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.”

Are you fearful? Are you upset and restless? Is your life filled with strife and turmoil? Your family is divided. Are you sick and worrying? You go to church and you hear about being watchful because the devil, like a roaring lion is on the prowl and seeks to devour you. That does not create peace does it? They teach us to rebuke the devil and also watch for the fall of Lucifer with one third of the subordinate to him angels; and also to fight the good fight. Does God the Father look for soldiers to recruit because heaven is unstable; and His heavenly armies can’t do the job completely?

If heaven succumbs to rebellions and upheavals then where did Jesus get His kind of peace? He said, “My peace.” “Not as this world gives.” Is it possible that we use the earth-attached physical thinking with which we measure or interpret also heaven?

If heaven had, or will have more wars, then why those who die rest in peace in the ground (Sheol, Abraham's bosom, Paradise)?

Why did angels sing “Peace on earth” when Jesus was born in Bethlehem?
Why the feet of those who bring good tidings and proclaim PEACE are lovely? (Isaiah 52:7)

Why in Romans 8:14 Paul says that those who are led of the Spirit are called sons of God? And why in verse 19 the earth groans awaiting the appearance of the sons of God if the sons of God came to earth, had sex with women, produced giants and brought violence?

Someone taught us falsehood or we are crazy. THINK!

  1. The Perfect Love casts out all fear. Who is that perfect love?

    Jesus said in Matthew 5:45, "Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect." So He the Father must be the Perfect Love. God is Love, John said in the Gospels and Letters, but what kind of love?

    So who creates unrest and fear, which contains no peace?

    Also John said that [1 John 2:16] "In the world is the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world."

    So pride did not come from heaven did it. Can anything spiritual have self-identity? Can something spiritual seek own identity when all spirits, winds and flames (angels) have their identities in God the Father in the realm of no darkness and of no time? Pride comes from self.

    Hence, due to the nature of time, locale and the physical body, which moves within three dimensions, width, hight and depth pride originates in the material world where everything has its own identity.

    The spiritual world has only one dimension of the One.
