<strong>Sons</strong> <strong>To</strong> <strong>Glory</strong><br />

God’s truth, but was blinded to most of His grace. Therefore, the peace<br />

they desired was not yet possible because true peace requires the divine<br />

balance of understanding both Truth AND Grace. Just like a balanced<br />

diet is a pre-requisite to good health, having a BALANCED spiritual<br />

diet will be a key characteristic in those who will partake in the coming<br />

Age of Peace.<br />

Government & Peace<br />

Government and Peace are connected, because peace comes from order<br />

and order comes from government. This is why the millennial reign of<br />

Christ will be a reign of peace, because God’s order/government will<br />

be established. For example, when a region is at war with rebellion and<br />

disarray, we want to bring peace and order. This means going in and<br />

setting up some form of government that people are willing to submit<br />

to. The Kingdom of God is also a government. Unlike the<br />

governments of this current age, the Kingdom of God is a government<br />

that is pure, righteous and perfect, but it is only in effect where it is<br />

welcomed and received.<br />

Let’s compare the government of God to the current kingdoms of this<br />

world. Imagine all of the current nations of the world together at a<br />

United Nations meeting. Everyone at this meeting is concerned about<br />

one thing: what is best for me. They are all thinking, “What can I do<br />

here to benefit my nation which is of course the best nation.” They are<br />

willing to step on others in order to better themselves. Their motto is to<br />

look out for themselves because no one else will.<br />

Now imagine all of the nations of the world coming together at the<br />

Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem with the main objective to honor the<br />

Lord and focus on Him for an entire week. It would be like a huge<br />

family reunion where everyone is concerned about how they can bless<br />

and benefit others. I compare it to when my extended family goes out<br />

to dinner and everyone is fighting to pick up the bill because we want<br />

to be a blessing to our family members, and we are more concerned<br />

about what is best for them rather than what is best for ourselves.<br />
