yet almost every prophet and disciple and Jesus met a violent death.
...unless you are a moneychanger...
Jer 28:7 But listen now to the solemn words I speak to you in the presence of all these people.
Jer 28:8 The ancient prophets who preceded you and me spoke against many nations, always warning of war, disaster, and disease.
Jer 28:9 So a prophet who predicts peace must show he is right. Only when his predictions come true can we know that he is really from the LORD.”
I know this article is not “official” prophecy but in a way the article is a prophecy.
Our eyes and hears go to the word peace. We like it. The first verse most will remember is “peace on earth and good will toward men.”
But there is much move in that verse. Read it slowly and let ones lips move:
Luk 2:14 “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.”
Peace has a lot of different meanings. Most want peace on earth, not peace with God.
Thanks for making me think this morning.
The left-wing protesters, by and large, don’t believe in Christ. They are nihlists living in the relativist temporal order with no guide except for the next outrage to be whipped up by the media. Hypocrites, of the highest order, they feed on the ignorance of history of their gullible masses, who worship celebrity and fame, who follow them blindly into a pit.
Matthew 10:34 "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword."
Matthew 11:12 "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force."
You get the picture.
This whole notion of an effete Jesus who would never offend anybody and wouldn't kill a fly is not the Son of Man we find in the Bible. I'm not going to condemn someone who chooses to look up to Martin Luther King; it's a free country. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
