This is a phrase u've probably had. Take 4example: When prophet Isaiah foretold the birth of messiah, He ascribed to to him the title 'prince of peace' When the angels announced to the shephards that Christ was born, they sung above the plains of bethlehem Glory to God in the highest & on Earth peace good will toward men luke 2:14In mathew 10:34 Jesus says: 'dont think i came to bring peace on earth, i dint come to bring peace but a sword.' There's a seeming contradiction btwn the prophetic declaration & the words of messiah!? Not @ll.The gospel is amsg of peace which received &obeyed W'd spread peace, harmony &happiness throughout the Earth. Since the world at large is under the control of satan,when the msg of purity &holiness is presented, it reveals &condemns our habits &desires &we rise in rebellion against it.
