Episode 888: Preach ye upon the housetops

Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth:
I came not to send peace, but the sword.
[Matthew 10:34]

This is a verse with which the pacifist has had difficulty. However, until all unrighteousness is put down and suppressed, the Person of Christ will cause the enmity of Satan, and a battle will ensue.
I wish a little of this verse would get into the United Nations today and into the thinking of some liberal clergy. Christ did not come to bring peace at His first coming. Sin is still in the world; and, as long as it stays upon the earth, God says that there will be no peace for the wicked.
