A Thousand Years Of Peace!
"They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
and their spears into pruning hooks; nation
shall not lift up sword against nation, neither
shall they learn war anymore."
Isaiah 2: 4
During the height of the Cold War, the USSR gave
a statue to the United Nations. Ironically, it
was the
depiction of Isaiah 2:4. The bronze sculpture shows
a man bringing a hammer down on a sword, forming
it into a plow.
Even Soviet
Communists were yearning for the
global peace promised by Isaiah. Some believed
the United Nations could achieve it.
The wonderful vision of Isaiah will be fulfilled
but not until Christ establishes His Kingdom
on earth. Remember that when you hear
of
wars and rumors of wars on our little planet.
The world is filled with frustration. But remember:
It will not be like that forever. There is the coming
thousand-year Kingdom in which Christ will reign
and judge the nations. They shall learn of war no
more.
Praise the Lord! One day we’ll
experience the Coming Golden
Age here on earth.
"Much Scripture is devoted to stating the
untold blessing and glory poured out upon
the earth…in the kingdom…. National and
individual peace is the fruit of the Messiah’s
reign."
J. Dwight Pentecost
