Peace, Peace; there is no Peace!

Is it Peace in our time, peace through superior firepower, peaceful coexistence, peace of the grave, or is peace the wrong goal?
The man Jeshua talked and walked a life of peace.
He was brutally executed to keep and make the peace.
To keep the peace in Jerusalem and to make peace between God and man! 'For without the shedding of blood there can be no redemption.'
We can not be bought from the slavery to sin and the world view, without Jeshua's gift of his blood sacrifice. God alone can make that pure lamb for the atonement for the sin of the human race, or there would be occasion of boasting.
Peace, peace when there is no peace.
Peace was not the goal! - Freedom from the sin nature that produces the malicious heart with hatred for all that does not fit that hatred filled world view. The goal of life is not to survive it, but to outlive life itself - 'sin is at the door but you are to conquer it'. It's a gift lest anyone boast that they had achieved it.
Mohammed understood it, at the lap of his wife, when he shared what he had seen on the mount. And they shared that with the Christian and Jewish leaders who gave their blessing on his mission; to share with the faithful the truth.
Funny how the origin of things get twisted in the present by corrupt power brokers seeking to profit without the expense of THEIR OWN BLOOD. Scarcely a good man would die for a friend - how much more so a holy man for a sinner - Jeshua was an unusual man... He died for a world full of sinners and called us no longer to be strangers to God, but friends. Those that would make themselves masters over others would do well to master their own nature, perhaps even cutoff that part of themselves that causes them to offend God... Their head? - No their arrogant pride! For they contrive evil in the name of good to execute bondage upon people; instead of setting captivity free. They make others three times as fit for the pit as they have become, their ultimate destiny... May their destiny come quickly upon them - like a thief in the night.
