JEHOVAH-SHALOM

Jehovah-Shalom

Then Gideon built an altar there to the LORD and named it The LORD is Peace. [Jehovah-Shalom] {Jdg 6:24} The Lord displayed such patience with Gideon, waiting at Gideon's request as a proper sacrifice was prepared, and thrice more as Gideon further tested to be assured that the Lord was, in fact, the Lord!

Great patience has the Lord, and through His grace He wills that PEACE shall prevail, WISDOM and KINDNESS to be watchwords.

Behold, a son will be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to Israel in his days. -- The Queen of the South will rise up with this generation at the judgment and will condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here. -- For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. {1Ch 22:9, Mat 12:42}

The prophesy of the coming of the Lord begins in Genesis and flows all through the Old Testament and squarely into the New. The Word culminates in the Revelation of Jesus to the Apostle John. What was spoken of in Isaiah comes alive; Then my people will live in a peaceful habitation, And in secure dwellings and in undisturbed resting places;  (19)  And it will hail when the forest comes down, And the city will be utterly laid low. { Isa 9:6, Isa 32:18-19}

For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall. -- This One will be our peace. When the Assyrian invades our land, When he tramples on our citadels, Then we will raise against him Seven shepherds and eight leaders of men. {Eph 2:14, Mic 5:5} --These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful. {Rev 17:14}

Are you in this group? The called, the chosen, the faithful? God Bless you if you are. If you are not in this group, why not? There is no middle ground! Make a choice!

Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful. {Joh 14:27}
