Think not that I have come to send peace...

Will Jesus send peace?
When man’s failings just increase?
Receive His love please!

Think not that I have come to send peace on earth: I come not to send peace, but a sword.

Matthew 10:34

Considering the foregoing information on the dangers and deceptions of the new-age movement, with the simultaneous introduction of the Mark of the Beast system, with it's associated false peace. Also contemplating the agonising choice presented to the Multitudes in the Valley of Decision it would be appropriate to look at the ramifications of the outworking of God's plan of Salvation for Mankind, with the alternative plans of Satan to 'insomuch that, if it were possible, deceive the very elect'. Matthew 24:24

From a biblical perspective the family is the most essential unit upon which the stability of society depends. The moral landslide into the abyss of wretchedness, which typifies late twentieth/early twenty-first century living, is particularly due to the associated failure and breakdown in family relationships. Lack of adherence to moral values, unforgiveness, selfishness and a lack of trust, combine to undermine the foundation of society.

Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Exodus 20:12

God's heart and will is to see whole families living in love, peace and harmony!

"Any man with eyes in his head, whatever the ideas in his head, who looks at the world as it is today, must know that the whole social substance of marriage has changed . . . Numbers of normal people are getting married, thinking already that they may be divorced . . . The Church was right to refuse even the exception. The world has admitted the exception; and the exception has become the rule . . . The Catholic Church, standing almost alone, declared that it would in fact lead to an anarchical position; and the Catholic Church was right. "

A man's foes shall be they of his own household…….

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.

Revelation 6:2

For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
