Peace (Hebrew: shalom) means not only that there is no (more) war, but also that everything is good, great, and lacking nothing. It is the situation where the people will experience maximum well-being. God has already promised Israel these blessings when they were on their way to the Promised Land. Leviticus 26:6 reads: I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid.
But the condition for the blessing is: If you walk in my statutes and observe my commandments and do them
(Leviticus 26:3).
In the end, true peace is possible through Christ. This was already prophesied by Isaiah: he (Christ) is the Prince of Peace
(Isaiah 9:6). Therefore the angels sang peace on earth
at his birth (Luke 2:14). He brings about this peace through his suffering and death: upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace
(Isaiah 53:5). And Paul says about the work of the Messiah: making peace by the blood of his cross
(Colossians 1:20).
4 C'est lui qui ramènera la paix. Lorsque l'Assyrien viendra dans notre pays, Et qu'il pénétrera dans nos palais, Nous ferons lever contre lui sept pasteurs Et huit princes du peuple.
