5. Peace in 1st Century Judea
Acts 5.36-39
For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself
to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four
hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as
many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to
nought. After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the
days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him:
he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him,
were dispersed. And now I say unto you, Refrain from
these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this
work be of men, it will come to nought: but if it be of God,
ye cannot overthrow it

6. Peace in 1st Century Judea
Matthew 10.34-39
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came
not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a
man at variance against his father, and the daughter
against her mother, and the daughter in law against her
mother in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own
household. He that loveth father or mother more than me
is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter
more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not
his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He
that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life
for my sake shall find it.

your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 16.33
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye
might have peace. In the world ye shall have
tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome
the world.`

12. A Lack of Recognition!
Luke 19.41-44
 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and
wept over it, saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at
least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy
peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. For the
days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall
cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and
keep thee in on every side, and shall lay thee even with
the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall
not leave in thee one stone upon another; because
thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

13. Our Captain

salvation perfect through sufferings.

little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the
earth, and the sea, and the dry land; and I will
shake all nations, and the desire of all nations
shall come: and I will fill this house with glory,
saith the Lord of hosts. The silver is mine, and the
gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts. The glory of
this latter house shall be greater than of the
former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place
will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.

16. The Prophetic Word
Isaiah 52.7
 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him
that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that
bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth
salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
Nahum 1.15
 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth
good tidings, that publisheth peace!
O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for
the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is
utterly cut off.

17. Jesus – Leader, Peacemaker and
King
Psalm 72.6-8
 He shall come down like rain upon the mown
grass: as showers that water the earth. In his
days shall the righteous flourish; and
abundance of peace so long as the moon
endureth. He shall have dominion also from
sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of
the earth.

18. The Prophetic Word (cont.,)

David a prince among them; I the Lord have
spoken it. And I will make with them a covenant of
peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out
of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the
wilderness, and sleep in the woods. And I will
make them and the places round about my hill a
blessing; and I will cause the shower to come
down in his season; there shall be showers of
blessing.

with them; it shall be an everlasting
covenant with them: and I will place them,
and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary
in the midst of them for evermore.

20. Peace Reigns Supreme
Isaiah 9.7
Of the increase of his government and peace
there shall be no end, upon the throne of David,
and upon his kingdom,
to order it, and to establish it with judgment and
with justice from henceforth even for ever. The
zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
