Peace and Safety

I. The Illusion of Peace in the Last Days

Scripture repeatedly warns that the final generation will be marked by loud proclamations of peace while judgment quietly draws near. Human efforts to broker stability in the Middle East, especially concerning Israel, often mirror this biblical pattern. Political declarations, treaties, and global applause cannot produce the peace promised by God because true peace is not a policy but a Person.

  “While they are saying, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” 1 Thessalonians 5:3 (KJV)

Israel remains central in biblical prophecy because the land belongs to God by covenant, not by negotiation. Any attempt to divide or redefine what God has established invites judgment rather than blessing.

  “For the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.” Psalm 132:13 (KJV)

Modern headlines echo ancient warnings. When leaders promise peace without repentance, Scripture says the result is deception, not deliverance.

II. The True Prince of Peace Versus the False One

Jesus Christ is not merely a peacemaker. He is the Prince of Peace. Scripture contrasts Him with a coming deceiver who will offer a counterfeit peace that ultimately leads to destruction.

  “For he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week.” Daniel 9:27 (KJV)

This false covenant does not establish righteousness. It ushers in rebellion. The throne promised to David belongs only to Christ, and Scripture warns against an impostor who seeks authority without holiness.

  “And the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David.” Luke 1:32 (KJV)

Those not grounded in Christ will be swept away by deception. Only those anchored in Him will stand.

  “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them… the house fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.” Matthew 7:24–25 (KJV)

III. The Firm Foundation of the Bride

The true Church is not seeking comfort in the world’s riches or systems. She is preparing herself for her Bridegroom. Her peace is inward, cultivated through intimacy with Christ, not outward circumstances.

  “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.” John 14:27 (KJV)

This peace belongs only to those who truly know Him. It is not inherited culturally or politically. It is received through repentance and obedience.

  “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” Isaiah 26:3 (KJV)

The Bride is called to remain watchful, armored, and faithful while the spiritual battle intensifies.

  “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11 (KJV)

IV. The Harvest and the Sickle

Scripture describes a moment when mercy gives way to judgment and the harvest of the earth is reaped. This is not symbolic poetry. It is a real and appointed moment in God’s timeline.

  “Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” Revelation 14:15 (KJV)

Christ first came as the Lamb who was slain. He will return as the Lion of the tribe of Judah. His eyes will burn with righteousness, and His judgment will be swift.

  “And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.” Revelation 19:13 (KJV)

The same Jesus who offers salvation today will execute justice tomorrow.

V. Modern Events and Prophetic Alignment

The convergence of global unrest, Middle East instability, religious deception, and economic dependency systems points toward a world ripe for control and counterfeit peace. Technology enables surveillance, digital identity, and financial restriction in ways never before possible.

  “And he causeth all… to receive a mark… and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark.” Revelation 13:16–17 (KJV)

These realities do not require speculation. They require discernment. Scripture told us these days would come.

VI. A Call to Repentance

The call remains urgent and merciful. Repentance is not regret. It is a turning. The Lord calls His people now, before the door closes.

  “Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.”
  Isaiah 55:6 (KJV)

All have sinned.
  “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
  Romans 3:23 (KJV)

Sin brings death.
  “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
  Romans 6:23 (KJV)

Jesus paid the price.
  “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
  Romans 5:8 (KJV)

Confess and believe.
  “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
  Romans 10:9 (KJV)

VII. The Hope of the Faithful

For those who belong to Christ, the best is yet to come. The Bride will exchange armor for white garments. Struggle will give way to celebration. Faith will become sight.

  “Let us be glad and rejoice… for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.” Revelation 19:7 (KJV)

Conclusion

The world seeks peace without truth. God offers peace through truth. The difference is eternal.

False peace will collapse. Deception will be exposed. The King will return. Until that day, the call is clear: repent, remain faithful, stay armored, and keep your eyes on the Bridegroom.

The best truly waits for those who trust Him.

Forged Through The Fire

I. The Intimacy of the Bridegroom and His Bride The Lord is not seeking mere admiration; He desires intimacy. Those who worship in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24) are known not just for their public declarations, but for private devotion. The Bride's heart is fully His, not content to know about Him but driven to know Him. "Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee." (Song of Solomon 1:4, KJV) Her surrender is not theoretical. It is lived out daily through obedience and the sacrifice of self. In a time when the love of many has waxed cold (Matthew 24:12), she burns brightly. II. The Fragrance of Obedient Worship The Bride's worship is not limited to melody but manifests as obedience. Her crushed will releases fragrant oil, echoing Gethsemane where Christ said,  "Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done." (Luke 22:42, KJV...

The Rise of the Remnant: God’s Hidden Army for the Final Hour

I. The Hidden Ones: A Remnant Refined by Fire Throughout every generation, God has preserved a remnant, those who have not bowed to the idols of their time, who walk in righteousness amid corruption, and who carry His presence with purity and power. Elijah lamented that he stood alone for God, but the Lord revealed, “I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal” (1 Kings 19:18, KJV). Today, God’s hidden ones are emerging from seasons of obscurity and crushing. They are the forerunners, raised in secret places where their faith has been tested, refined, and purified. These men and women have endured the fires of betrayal, rejection, and spiritual warfare, yet like gold tried in the furnace, they now reflect the image of the Refiner (Malachi 3:2–3). They were trained in isolation, hidden from public view, so that when they emerge, it will not be by human promotion but by divine appointment. Their confidence is not in their strength but in the...

The Trumpet: A Call to True Repentance

I. The Sound of the Trumpet and the Awakening of the Church Scripture declares a day is coming when the trumpet of the Lord will sound, signaling the return of Jesus Christ. “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16 (KJV) This is a prophetic certainty. Yet, as Jesus warned, many will be unprepared when that moment arrives. “Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.” Matthew 25:1 (KJV) In this parable, five virgins were wise, having oil in their lamps, and five were foolish, neglecting their readiness. The oil represents the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit and an intimate relationship with Christ. When the Bridegroom came, only those prepared entered the wedding feast. This prophetic warning speaks directly to today’s Church. Many profess belief b...
