There will never be any lasting peace until Jesus Christ returns. The LORD will return to the earth at some point in the future to rule and reign for 1,000 years. We read about this in Isaiah 60 and Revelation 20, as well as several other places in the Bible. Personally, I do not believe that Christ’s 1,000-year reign is metaphorical. I believe it to be true. Satan will be bound 1,000 years––the time of the Messianic rule (REVELATION 20:2). This will be a time in which the only rebellion against Jesus Christ will be in the soul of man. What an extraordinary time this will be—when peace on the earth will be present, while the human struggle will still exist. Not until the new heaven and the new earth will there be total peace (REVELATION 21). Joshua 10 explains the trouble Israel had when they came into the land of Canaan—the nations and kingdoms in that land did not care about God’s commands and created war everywhere.

Boundaries; Joshua 14-15
God sets boundaries for every country, city, family, and individual. But, in this world, we tend to think that we are the ones who set and define our own boundaries. We often tell ourselves that we are limited only by our imaginations. Problem is: that is wrong. There are limits or boundaries to ...

The Mercy of God; Deuteronomy 24-27
Moses restates the law of God that was first given between the LORD and Israel at Sinai, who had mostly died out in the years from that time, to the younger generation. Deuteronomy is a pastoral repetition of the Law to enable that generation to live obediently before God and to live out His purp...
