Peace - The Meaning of
Peace . In English, the word "peace" conjures up a passive picture, one showing an absence of civil disturbance or hostilities, or a personality free from internal and external strife. The biblical concept of

Shâlôm (שָׁלֹם, Strong's #7965), “peace; completeness; welfare; health. ” The root is a common Semitic root with the meaning “peace” in Akkadian, Ugaritic, Phoenician, Aramaic, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic. In Israel today, people greet the newcomer and each other with the words mah shlomka, (“what is your
Peace,” “how are you doing,”) and they ask about the “peace” (“well-being”) of one’s family. The first two occurrences in Genesis already indicate the changes in meaning: “And thou shalt go to thy fathers in
Peace ; thou shalt be buried in a good old age” (
Peace …” ( Peace”) in Peace”]'>[3], in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me” (cf. The relationship is one of harmony and wholeness, which is the opposite of the state of strife and war: “I am for
Peace: but when I speak, they are for war” (

Peace (2) - PEACE. The word frequently occurs in the Gospels in the idiomatic phrase ‘to hold one’s
Peace,’ i. ), and in the NT ἡσυχάζω, σιγάω, and σιωπάω, when used in the sense of holding one’s
Peace, appear to be employed without any real discrimination. In the ordinary sense of rest or tranquillity, in antithesis to strife and war, ‘peace’ (εἰρήνη) is found, e. שִׁלֹום, which primarily denoted a state of wellbeing, safety, and blessedness, of which, however,
Peace in the common acceptation of the term would be one of the most important conditions. It is in this way that we are to understand expressions like ‘Now lettest thou thy servant depart in
Peace’ (
Luke 2:29), ‘his goods are in
Peace’ (
Luke 11:21), ‘the things which belong unto thy
Peace’ (
Luke 19:42). This also is the connotation of ‘Peace!’ when used as a form of salutation (
Matthew 10:12-13 =
Luke 10:5-6;
Luke 24:36, John 20:19;
John 20:21;
John 20:26); though, as employed by our Lord, and by His disciples according to His instructions, the salutation is weighted with the larger Messianic meaning (see below). ...
(1)
Peace was a distinctive feature of Christ’s mission. —In prophetic anticipation the coming of the Messiah was to inaugurate a reign of
Peace (
Isaiah 9:7, Psalms 72:3;
Psalms 72:7), and He Himself was to be ‘the Prince of
Peace’ (
Isaiah 9:6). In the Gospel story of His birth, the promise of
Peace heralds His advent (
Luke 1:79), and ‘on earth
Peace’ is sung by the angels on the night in which He is born (
Luke 2:14). His earthly ministry was a ministry and message of
Peace. ‘Have
Peace one with another’ was one of His injunctions (
Mark 9:50), while of those who not merely live in
Peace, but are
Peace-makers (εἰρηνοποιοί), He said that they shall be called sons of God (
Luke 2:34-352). ‘Peace’ was the salutation which both the Twelve and the Seventy were bidden to use when sent forth on their respective missions (
Matthew 10:12 f. And in all these cases it seems evident that ‘Peace be unto you!’ and ‘Go in
Peace!’ are not merely conventional forms of salutation or farewell, but refer to the blessings guaranteed by Jesus as the Christ of God. ...
And yet there is a sense in which Jesus came ‘not to send
Peace, but a sword’ (
Matthew 10:34, cf. For there is a false
Peace (
Jeremiah 6:14;
Jeremiah 8:11); and with that He could have nothing to do. Yet, for all that,
Peace was the purpose of His mission, even though it had to be attained by sending forth a sword—sharp and twoedged, as the seer saw it (
Revelation 1:16)—a sword which will ultimately secure the victory of the good in the conflict with evil, and bring in the
Peace that rests on righteousness (cf. ...
(2)
Peace was a quality of Christ’s character. —The words ‘Peace I leave with you; my
Peace I give unto you’ (
John 14:27) strike one of the fundamental notes of His personal being as that is revealed to us in the Gospels. Men have been known to make bequests when they had nothing to leave; but
Peace was a blessing which Jesus had power to bestow, because it was His own peculiar possession. At the very centre of His earthly life, amidst all its vicissitudes, there always lies a profound
Peace, which is quite different from impassivity, for it is something vital and flowing like a strong calm river (cf. It was, without doubt, the magnetism of this
Peace-possessing and
Peace-diffusing strength of Jesus that drew troubled hearts around Him; and it was the consciousness of having it and being able to bestow it that inspired that most characteristic invitation, ‘Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest’ (1618650208_5). ...
This personal
Peace of Jesus must be distinguished, of course, from the
Peace of outward circumstances. When He said, ‘My
Peace I give unto you,’ He was just about to go forth to Gethsemane and the judgment-hall and the cross. But the
Peace He was conscious of lay deeper than all trials and sufferings, for it came from the assurance of a perfect union in thought and heart and will with His Father in heaven (
John 14:11;
John 14:20;
John 14:31). Christ’s
Peace was like that of a white water-lily—tossed to and fro by the surface waves of the lake, but unshaken from its place because its roots are buried deep in the soil beneath (cf. All through His earthly life He realized, as no other human being ever could, the full meaning of the prophet’s word, ‘Thou wilt keep him in perfect
Peace whose mind is stayed on thee’ (
Isaiah 26:3). ...
(3)
Peace is a characteristic blessing of the gospel of Christ. Paul as ‘the gospel of
Peace’ (
Ephesians 6:15), and St. Peter in the Acts speaks of those who publish the message of salvation as ‘preaching good tidings of
Peace by Jesus Christ’ (
Acts 10:36). ‘Peace,’ indeed, becomes, like grace, a virtual summary for gospel blessings, and so in the benedictory salutations of nearly every Apostolic writer it is combined with ‘grace’ as the distinctive gift of ‘God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ’ (
Romans 1:7, 1 Corinthians 1:3, 2 Corinthians 1:2, Galatians 1:3, Ephesians 1:2, Philippians 1:2, Colossians 1:2, 1 Thessalonians 1:1, 2 Thessalonians 1:2, 1 Timothy 1:2, Titus 1:4, Philemon 1:3, 1 Peter 1:2, 2 Peter 1:2, 2 John 1:3, Judges 1:2). Paul, however, who works out most fully the place of
Peace in the Christian gospel and its immediate relation to Christ Himself. With him ‘peace’ has two distinct meanings, corresponding to two different facts of Christian experience. (a) First, there is an objective
Peace—the
Peace of reconciliation with God through our Lord Jesus Christ—which follows as the result of being justified by faith (
Romans 5:1 ,
Ephesians 2:14-17; cf. (b) Next, there is a subjective
Peace—the
Peace of conscious fellowship with God—which results from a living union with Christ the Saviour. This subjective
Peace finds its ground in the objective
Peace of reconciliation, but it is clearly distinguished from it. The other is ‘peace with God’ (
Romans 5:1); this is ‘the
Peace of God which passeth all understanding’ (
Philippians 4:7). This inward
Peace is one of the fruits of the Spirit (
Galatians 5:22), it forms part of our joy in believing (
Romans 15:13), it is a power that guards our hearts and thoughts in Christ Jesus (
Philippians 4:7). And it is of this
Peace, as a glad sense of sonship and trust wrought in the soul by Jesus Christ, that the Apostle is thinking when he writes: ‘The Lord of
Peace himself give you
Peace at all times, in all ways’ (
2 Thessalonians 3:16). ‘Peace’; Weiss, Bib. Newbolt, Penitence and

Jehovah's assurance of "peace" confirmed His previous announcement that Gideon would conquer Midian and deliver Israel

Peace - In the original languages of the Bible, the word ‘peace’ had a meaning far wider and richer than that which people commonly associate with the word today. In the Old Testament,
Peace (Heb. The New Testament, though using the Greek word for ‘peace’, retained the breadth of ideas found in the Old Testament and so gave the word a richer meaning. ...
Wide-ranging blessings...
According to the Hebrews’ understanding,
Peace was a state of well-being that included good health, prosperity, contentment, security and harmonious relationships (
Psalms 29:11;
Psalms 37:37;
Psalms 85:8-9;
Isaiah 26:1-4;
Isaiah 32:17-18;
Isaiah 60:17;
Lamentations 3:17;
Zechariah 6:13;
Zechariah 8:12;
Luke 11:21;
1 Corinthians 14:33;
Ephesians 4:3). A prayer for God’s
Peace upon a person, nation or church was a prayer for the wide-ranging blessing of God (
Numbers 6:26;
Psalms 122:6;
Luke 2:14;
Romans 15:33). The greeting of ‘Peace!’ with which people greeted each other was both an enquiry after and a wish for a person’s well-being (
Judges 6:23;
Judges 18:6;
Judges 19:20;
1 Samuel 25:6;
1 Samuel 25:35;
Matthew 10:13;
John 20:21;
1 Corinthians 1:3;
Ephesians 1:2;
Ephesians 6:23;
1 Peter 1:2;
1 Peter 5:14). ...
Since
Peace was often linked with the blessing of God, it became linked also with God’s salvation (
Isaiah 26:11-13;
Luke 1:79;
Luke 19:42;
Acts 10:36;
Romans 5:1;
Romans 16:20). But there could be no salvation, no
Peace, for the wicked (
Isaiah 48:22). After the years of exile in Babylon, however, the good news of
Peace would prepare a repentant people for salvation from captivity and return to their homeland (
Isaiah 52:7-10; cf. ...
Peace with God through Jesus Christ...
No matter what expressions of salvation people of Old Testament times experienced, the fulness of salvation awaited the coming of Jesus Christ, the Prince of
Peace (
Isaiah 9:6;
Luke 1:79). The
Peace he brought is an everlasting
Peace (
Luke 2:14John 14:27 16:
33Isaiah 9:7;
Isaiah 65:17-25;
Revelation 21:1-5;
Revelation 21:22-24). ...
This complete restoration to
Peace, fulness, wholeness and well-being is possible only because Jesus, by his death, dealt with the cause of the world’s trouble, sin. He bore God’s judgment on sin, so that the divine hostility against sin might be removed and repentant sinners might have
Peace with God (
Isaiah 53:5-6;
Romans 5:1-2;
Colossians 1:20-22; see PROPITIATION). ...
When people, through God’s grace, have
Peace with God, they also have
Peace with one another. ...
Christians preach this gospel of
Peace to others (
Matthew 10:13;
John 20:21;
Acts 10:36;
Ephesians 6:15), though they realize that at times it may cause division; for while some will gladly accept it, others will violently oppose it (
Matthew 10:34-36). In spite of this, Christians must do all they can to help people in general to live together
Peacefully (
Matthew 5:9;
Romans 12:18;
Hebrews 12:14). ...
Not only do Christians have
Peace with God through Christ, they also have the
Peace of God through Christ. That
Peace does not mean that they will have a trouble-free life
Peace, Spiritual - ...
Old Testament The concept of spiritual
Peace is most often represented by the Hebrew root slm and its derivatives, the most familiar being by the noun shalom . ) The Law, the Prophets, and the Writings of the Old Testament each bear testimony that such
Peace is the gift of God, for God alone can give
Peace in all its fullness (
Leviticus 26:6 ;
1 Chronicles 12:18 ;
1 Chronicles 22:9 ;
Isaiah 57:1-260 ;
Isaiah 26:12 ;
Isaiah 52:7 ;
Ezekiel 34:25 ;
Ezekiel 37:26 ;
Zechariah 6:13 ;
Malachi 2:5-6 ;
Job 22:21 ;
Job 25:2 ;
Psalm 4:8 ;
Psalm 29:11 ;
Psalm 37:37 ;
Psalm 85:8 ;
Psalm 122:6-8 ;
Psalm 147:14 ;
Proverbs 3:17 ). Spiritual
Peace may be equated with salvation (
Isaiah 52:7 ;
Nahum 1:15 ). It is available to all who trust in God (
Isaiah 26:3 ) and love His law (
Psalm 119:165 —note that in
Psalm 119:166-168 this love is clearly understood to mean obedience!) This
Peace is clearly identified with a righteous life apart from which no one is able to find true
Peace (
Isaiah 32:17 ;
Isaiah 48:22 ; 1618650208_5 ). Thus
Peace and righteousness are often linked in the Old Testament (
Psalm 72:7 ;
Psalm 85:10 ;
Isaiah 9:7 ;
Isaiah 32:17 ;
Isaiah 48:18 ;
Isaiah 60:17 ), as are
Peace and justice (
Isaiah 59:8 ). To be at
Peace is to be upright (
Malachi 2:6 ), to be faithful (
2 Samuel 20:19 ), to be an upholder of the truth (
Esther 9:30 ;
Zechariah 8:19 ), and to practice justice (
Isaiah 59:8 ;
Zechariah 8:16 ). Throughout the Old Testament spiritual
Peace is realized in relationship. ...
New Testament The Greek word eirene corresponds to the Hebrew shalom expressing the idea of
Peace, well-being, restoration, reconciliation with God, and salvation in the fullest sense. God is “the God of
Peace” (
Romans 15:33 ;
Philippians 4:9 ;
1 Thessalonians 5:23 ;
Hebrews 13:20 ). The Gospel is “the good news of
Peace” (
Ephesians 6:15 ;
Acts 10:36 ) because it announces the reconciliation of believers to God and to one another (
Ephesians 2:12-18 ). God has made this
Peace a reality in Jesus Christ, who is “our
Peace. In Him we discover that ultimate
Peace which only God can give (
John 14:27 ). This
Peace is experienced as an inner spiritual
Peace by the individual believer (
Philippians 4:7 ;
Colossians 3:15 ;
Romans 15:13 ). Such
Peace is a fruit of the Spirit (
Galatians 5:22 ) that forms part of the “whole armor of God” (
Ephesians 6:11 ,
Ephesians 6:11,6:13 ), enabling the Christian to withstand the attacks of the forces of evil. Thus, the New Testament gives more attention to the understanding of spiritual
Peace as an inner experience of the individual believer than does the Old Testament. In both the Old and the New Testament, spiritual
Peace is realized in being rightly related—rightly related to God and rightly related to one another

Thank Offering, - The
Peace offerings, unlike other sacrifices, were not ordained to be offered in fixed and regular course. The only constantly-recurring
Peace offering appears to have been that of the two firstling lambs at Pentecost. (
Leviticus 23:19 ) The general principle of the
Peace offering seems to have been that it should be entirely spontaneous, offered as occasion should arise, from the feeling of the sacrificer himself. (
Leviticus 19:5 ) On the first institution, (
Leviticus 7:11-17 )
Peace offerings are divided into "offerings of thanksgiving" and "vows or freewill offerings;" of which latter class the offering by a Nazarite on the completion of his vow is the most remarkable. (
Numbers 6:14 ) We find accordingly
Peace offerings offered for the people on a great scale at periods of unusual solemnity or rejoicing. In two cases only -- (
Judges 20:26 ;
2 Samuel 24:26 ) --peace offerings are mentioned se offered with burnt offerings at a time of national sorrow and fasting

Peace - ’ Besides the noun the following forms of the root occur in the writings of the Apostolic Age: εἰρηνεύειν, ‘to keep the
Peace’ (never transitive, ‘to reconcile’) (
Mark 9:50, Romans 12:18, 2 Corinthians 13:11, 1 Thessalonians 5:13); εἰρηνοποιός, ‘peacemaker’ (
Matthew 5:9), on which see below; εἰρηνοποιεῖν, ‘to make
Peace’ (
Colossians 1:20), εἰρηνικός, ‘peaceable’ (
James 3:17); for the meaning in
Hebrews 12:11 see below. The root שלס covers a wide range of ideas, many of which have nothing to do with war and
Peace. From this it must be explained that ‘peace’ in the OT has frequently a positive content, and that it is applied in many connexions to which it could scarcely have been transferred from its military use. Nor is the meaning of ‘prosperity’ the product of the experience that political
Peace is indispensable to economic welfare. The Hiphil and Hophal forms of the verb are largely denominatives from the noun in its specialized meaning ‘peace,’ but they, also signify ‘to give execution to a plan or purpose’-again the idea of integration (
Deuteronomy 20:12, Job 5:23;
Job 23:14, Isaiah 44:26;
Isaiah 44:28). The political notion of
Peace itself goes back to the same idea, inasmuch as two parties become a unit in their relations towards outsiders or in mutual intercourse.
Peace is not always the sequel of war; it may be in the form of alliance, the preventative of war (
1 Samuel 7:14). The
Peace which God gives or maintains for His people is ‘integrity,’ ‘soundness,’ ‘prosperity’ in the widest sense (
Isaiah 45:7, Jeremiah 29:7). Even when ‘peace’ occurs in antithesis to war the associations are not purely negative.
Peace as a religious bonum applies to the sphere of nature as well as of politics, and the former as well as the latter plays an important part in eschatological prophecy (
Hosea 2:20 ff. The idea of
Peace in relation to God Himself, in distinction from
Peace in other relations, given or guaranteed by God, seems to occur in the OT only in
Psalms 85:8 (but cf.
Peace is the antithesis to the warfare that exists between God and the sinner. As this warfare (‘enmity’) is an objective state and not a mere figure for hostile disposition towards God on man’s part, so the
Peace is an objectively established and maintained footing, on which God and the believer associate together. Paul has with doctrinal precision correlated the ideas of ‘enmity’ (
Romans 5:10;
Romans 11:28, Colossians 1:21), ‘reconciliation’ (
Romans 5:10-11;
Romans 11:15, 2 Corinthians 5:18-20, Colossians 1:21), and ‘peace’ (
Romans 5:1;
Romans 8:6;
Romans 14:17). Although the subjective, emotional experience of an inner state of
Peace is inseparable from this εἰρήνη πρὸς θεόν, yet the word itself does not in these contexts express it, but stands simply for the state of justification. This remains true, even if the correct reading in
Romans 5:1 is the subjunctive εἰρήνην ἔχωμεν, ‘let us have
Peace,’ for this cannot, any more than the καταλλάγητε τῷ θεῷ of
2 Corinthians 5:19, relate to the cultivation of a
Peaceful disposition towards God; it must refer in both cases to the subjective appropriation through faith of the objective
Peace which God establishes in Christ. In
Philippians 4:7, Colossians 3:15 Peace is represented as guarding the hearts and thoughts and ruling in the hearts. This must be understood of objective
Peace personified, and the result ascribed to this influence exercised by
Peace covers far more than a feeling of tranquillity. As applied to the fellowship between believers mutually,
Peace is a social conception, including the elements of harmony and organic co-operation (
Romans 14:19, 1 Corinthians 7:15;
1 Corinthians 14:33, Galatians 5:22, Ephesians 4:3 ,
Hebrews 12:14, James 3:18;
1 Peter 3:11, 2 Peter 3:14). In regard to
Ephesians 2:14-22 there is a difference of opinion among exegetes as to whether the reference of the
Peace embodied in Christ is to Jewish and Gentile believers mutually considered, or fundamentally to God, so as to include only as a corollary
Peace between the two component parts of the body of the Church. In
Ephesians 2:14-15 Peace denotes the fellowship between Jews and Gentiles, but in
Ephesians 2:17 (
Isaiah 57:19) the
Peace proclaimed by the gospel is the
Peace with God, and the same idea is implied in
Isaiah 57:16. ...
The other branch of the NT idea of religious
Peace ramifies from the main OT stem. Paul at least, by the consciousness of the
Peace of reconciliation existing with God, but its content is too rich and too positive to be exhausted by it. In this sense we find the word in the salutations at the beginning or close of the Epistles, usually associated with χάρις (
Romans 1:7, 1 Corinthians 1:3, 2 Corinthians 1:2;
2 Corinthians 13:11, Galatians 1:3;
Galatians 6:16, Ephesians 1:2;
Ephesians 6:23 ,
Philippians 1:2, Colossians 1:2, 1 Thessalonians 1:1, 2 Thessalonians 1:2;
2 Thessalonians 3:16, 1 Timothy 1:2, 2 Timothy 1:2, Titus 1:4, Philemon 1:3, 1 Peter 1:2;
1 Peter 5:14, 2 Peter 1:2, 2 John 1:3, 3 John 1:14, Revelation 1:4). The rich, positive content becomes apparent in such passages as the following:
Luke 1:79 (opposite ‘darkness’ and ‘shadow of death’)
Luke 2:14 (= the complete Messianic salvation, because ‘peace on earth’ is parallel to ‘glory in the highest,’ which has Messianic significance, and because the men who receive the
Peace are characterized as objects of the Divine εὐδοκία; cf. also
Luke 19:42),
John 14:27;
John 16:33, Acts 9:31;
Acts 10:36 (= the object of the gospel-proclamation),
Romans 2:10 (associated with δόξα and τιμή as the eschatological reward for working good)
Romans 14:17, Romans 15:13;
Romans 15:33, Romans 16:20 (the result of the conquest of Satan),
Galatians 6:16 (‘mercy and
Peace’),
Ephesians 2:17 (content of the gospel-message)
Ephesians 6:15 (‘the gospel of
Peace’),
Philippians 4:7, Colossians 3:15, 1 Thessalonians 5:3 (the opposite of eschatological peril = ἀσφαλεία),
Hebrews 7:2 (Christ, like Melchizedek, King of
Peace)
Hebrews 12:11 (the fruit of righteousness consisting in
Peace; cf. The general soteriological reference is also favoured by the fact that God is called ‘the God of
Peace’ (
Romans 15:33;
Romans 16:20, 1 Corinthians 14:33, 2 Corinthians 13:11, Philippians 4:9, Hebrews 13:20), as conversely the
Peace is also called ‘the
Peace of God’ (
Philippians 4:7). In the light of this wider, positive conception it becomes probable that the εἰρηνοποιοί of
Matthew 5:9 are not merely promoters of
Peace in the sense of reconcilers between man and man, but those who actively procure and produce
Peace (= salvation) for others. ...
It will be noticed that the prophetic picture of political
Peace among the nations is not reproduced in the NT. Pre-Christian Judaism, while making considerable use of the idea of
Peace, remains at bottom particularistic, whilst Christianity is thoroughly universalistic, although the programme of political
Peace is not explicitly enunciated in its writings. ...
The NT conception of
Peace offers no real point of contact with the Stoic ἀπάθεια and the Epicurean άταραξἰα (cf. The
Peace of the NT is not independence of outside conditions in the citadel of man’s subjectivity, but the fruit of an objective real salvation with God. Church, The Message of

Salutation - ...
In the Ancient Near East, a salutation covered a wide range of social practices: exchanging a greeting (“Hail”), asking politely about another's welfare, expressing personal regard, and the speaking of a parting blessing (“Go in
Peace”). Instead, Jesus endorsed a salutation when it signified the long-awaited presence of messianic “peace” (Hebrew, shalom ), that is the “peace” of the kingdom of God (
Luke 10:5-13 ;
Luke 19:42 ;
John 14:27 ;
John 20:21 ;
Mark 15:18 ; compare
Luke 2:14 ,
Luke 2:14,2:29 ). Paul never opened his letters with this greeting; instead, the apostle fused the Greek word for the typical Hebrew blessing, “Peace” (einrene), with the noun form of the Greek blessing, “Grace” (charis), to yield the distinctly Christian salutation: “Grace and
Peace” (charis kai eirene). By such a subtle change in the form of Greek letter writing, Paul was able to invoke the range of apostolic blessings found in Jesus: mercy from God (“grace”) and eternal well-being from God's presence (“peace”)

Peace - The
Peace and war of nations, or among houses or families, or kingdoms, are terms with which every one is familiar. But the Scripture sense of the word
Peace, and more especially the gospel signification of it, in respect to that
Peace believers have with God in Christ makes it well worth attention in a work of this kind. ...
It may not perhaps have struck an ordinary reader, that the word
Peace carries with it the idea that the breach then said to be made up presupposes that there had been a state of amity existing before the breach came in to interrupt it; and this is indeed the blessedness of the gospel. And there is another sweet thought connected with the gospel meaning of the word
Peace, namely, that all the overturns for a reconciliation began on the part of God, the injured party; and all the
Peace that follows becomes the sole result of his divine operation. "...
Such then is the Scripture sense of that
Peace of God and
Peace with God, in the blood and righteousness of God's dear Son, "which passeth all understanding, keeping the heart and mind, in Jesus Christ. "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth
Peace and good-will toward men. "How beautiful (said Isaiah) upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth

Peace of God which passeth all understanding will keep the Christian's heart and mind, through Jesus Christ. Such is the Christian's
Peace. When the Christian is somewhat grown, and has wandered for awhile along the tortuous course of a gracious experience, his
Peace will gather force like a flowing stream. Wait twenty or thirty years, till he has traversed yonder rich lowlands of fellowship with Christ in his sufferings, and conformity to his death, and you shall mark that the believer's rest will be like a river deep and broad, for he shall know the
Peace which was our Master's precious legacy; and he will cast all his care upon God, who careth for him. True

A God who every day learns something new, and who doth not know to-day what will happen to-morrow? A God who cannot tell whether
Peace will be concluded or war continue to ravage the world; whether
Peace will be received in a certain kingdom, or whether it will be banished; whether the right heir will succeed to the crown, or whether the crown will be set on the head of an usurper? For according to the different determinations of the wills of men, of king, or people, the prince will make

Offerings And Sacrifices - The Hebrew word normally translated "sacrifice" (zebah ) does not occur in Leviticus 1-
3 until 3:1 in the introduction to the "peace offering" section (see also vv. Thus, one can say that the
Peace offering was a particular kind of "offering" that was also a "sacrifice"—it involved an animal that was killed and then eaten as part of a communal meal. , the burnt, grain, drink, and
Peace offerings at the solitary altars), but the solitary altar system did not include sin and guilt offerings. "...
The first occurrence of the term "peace offering" (seblamim, NIV "fellowship offering") is in
Exodus 20:24 , where the Lord refers to it along with "burnt offerings" as part of the altar law: "Make an altar of earth for me and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings , your sheep and goats and your cattle. ...

Peace offerings on solitary earthen altars as well as on the altar in the tabernacle. , Mount Ebal) and offer burnt and
Peace offerings there as part of the initial covenant ceremony in the land (

Peace offerings in Leviticus 1-3 is a unified whole. ola ) and
Peace offerings (Heb. The burnt offering was a way of calling on the Lord to pay attention to the needs, requests, and entreaties of his worshipers either independently or in association with the
Peace offering. " The grain offering pericope in Leviticus 2 stands between the burnt and
Peace offering chapters ( Leviticus 1,3 , respectively). This is as it should be since the grain offering was a regular part of a burnt or
Peace offering along with a prescribed libation (
Numbers 15:1-15 ). It was specifically legislated that libations along with grain offerings should normally accompany any burnt or
Peace offering (
Numbers 15:1-5 ). ...

Reconciliation - The expressions "reconciliation" and "making
Peace" necessarily suppose a previous state of hostility between God and man, which is reciprocal. It is, indeed, a sad and humbling truth, and one which the Socinians in their discussions on the natural innocence of man are not willing to admit that by the infection of sin "the carnal mind is enmity to God," that human nature is malignantly hostile to God and to the control of his law; but this is far from expressing the whole of that relation of man in which, in Scripture, he is said to be at enmity with God, and so to need a reconciliation, the making of
Peace between God and him. It is this judicial variance and opposition between God and man which is referred to in the term reconciliation, and in the phrase "making
Peace," in the New Testament; and the hostility is, therefore, in its own nature, mutual. The latter, which belongs only to the converted, consists of the
Peace of God, and salvation from wrath,
Romans 5:9-10 . " Thus, says the Apostle, "he is our
Peace;" but in what manner is the
Peace effected? Not, in the first instance, by subduing the enmity of man's heart, but by removing the enmity of "the law. Paul properly treats of the
Peace made between Jews and Gentiles; for neither does it follow from this argument, that it was beside his purpose to mention the

Melchizedek - The original meaning was probably ‘My king is Zedek’; but the name is interpreted ideally in
Hebrews 7:2, where it is taken to mean ‘king of righteousness,’ and at the same time, because of Melchizedek’s rule over Salem (= ‘peace’), ‘king of
Peace. The typical hero, first righteous and therefore self-governed and blessed with the tranquillizing consciousness of the presence of God, appears to the writer as an anticipation of Him in whom alone righteousness and
Peace are completely realized both in His own person and life and in His gifts to men. He argues in favour of an identification of Melchizedek with the Logos, whose priesthood, however, is viewed as a symbol of the action of reason in bringing righteousness and

Christianity - Psalm 110 declared that His priesthood should be one "forever, after the order of Melchizeded" (the king of righteousness and king of

Peace, either made no reply, or expressed their astonishment at his impudence in using such freedom. The Jews in the days of our Lord seem to have generally observed the same custom; they would not address the usual compliment of, "Peace be with you," to either Heathens or publicans; the publicans of the Jewish nation would use it to their countrymen who were publicans, but not to Heathens, though the more rigid Jews refused to do it either to publicans or Heathens

Peace, is fitly the bride of Solomon, "the prince of
Peace. The significance of the name Solomon, "the

Song of Solomon 1:3), "thy name is as ointment poured forth, diffusing
Peace and love (
John 14:27); the same image as in Psalm 133. ...
Not until toward the close does the bride receive her name Shulamith (
Song of Solomon 6:13), "the
Peace receiver," and so the "prince's daughter" (
Song of Solomon 7:1; compare
Matthew 5:9). She explains her name (
Song of Solomon 8:10) as expressing "one that found

Peace" by condoning apostasy and subverting discipline after persecution had ceased
Reconciliation - the blessings of reconciliation are pardon,
Peace, friendship, confidence, holiness, and eternal life. In like manner, God's reconciling us to himself by the cross of Christ does not signify, as the Socinians contend, our being reconciled by conversion to a religious turn in our hearts to God, but is a reconciliation that results from God's graciously providing and accepting an atonement for us, that he might not inflict the punishment upon us which we deserved, and the law condemned us to; but might be at
Peace with us, and receive us into favour on Christ's account. Now as all the legal sacrifices of atonement, and the truly expiatory sacrifices of Christ, were offered not to the offenders, but to God, to reconcile him in them, what can reconciliation by the death, blood, or cross of Christ mean, but that the law and justice of God were thereby satisfied, and all obstructions, on his part, to
Peace and friendship toward sinners are removed, that he might not pursue his righteous demands upon them, according to the holy resentments of his nature and will, and the threatenings of his law for their sins; but might mercifully forgive them, and take them into a state of favour with himself, upon their receiving the atonement, or reconciliation (
Romans 5:11 , ) by faith, after the offence that sin had given him, and the breach it had made upon the original friendship between him and them?" ...

Peace," "like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest" (
Isaiah 57:20-21): so the dove, in its threefold embassy, represents respectively the first return of the soul to its rest, the loving hand of Jesus; its subsequent reception of the dovelike spirit, the earnest of the final inheritance (
Ephesians 1:13-14); and its actual entrance finally on the new heaven and new earth (Revelation 21), where there will be no need of the arklike church to separate between the world and God's people, between the saved and unsaved, where all shall be safe and blessed forever and the church shall be co-extensive with the world. ...

Peace offering. Shelem, from 'to be whole, complete,' to be at
Peace, in friendship with any one. Translated
Peace offering. ...
THE
Peace OFFERING. Its object was not to show how a sinner might get
Peace, nor to make atonement: it was rather the outcome of his having been blessed — the response of his heart to that blessing. The
Peace offering might be of the herd or of the flock, male or female. ...
The
Peace offering was accompanied by a meat offering, namely, unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil; together with leavened bread. That the
Peace offering typified communion is plain from the directions as to its disposal: part of it was accepted of God on the altar, called 'the food of the offering'; part was the food of the priest (Christ), and the priest's sons (Christians); and part was eaten by the offerer and his friends (the people, and perhaps also the Gentiles, who in the kingdom will 'rejoice with his people'). It is said of the
Peace offering that it 'pertains to Jehovah:' so all worship pertains to God: it is the fruit and expression of Christ in believers. In the burnt offering and the
Peace offering the offerer came as a worshipper, and by the imposition of hands became identified with the acceptability and acceptance of the victim: whereas in the sin offering the victim was identified with the sin of the offerer. Of the
Peace offerings, the breast was always a wave offering, and the right shoulder a heave offering, and were for the priests

Seventy (2) - ]'>[6] (3) In each case the burden of the message was ‘Peace’ and the ‘Kingdom of God. ’
Peace was and still is the favourite Eastern salutation; the Kingdom of God was the Jews’ highest aspiration.
Peace would include
Peace with God as well as with men,
Peace of conscience, the
Peace of discipleship to a perfect Master (
Matthew 11:28-30): the Kingdom of God would be, not a mere external, but an internal theocracy, the reign of God within as well as over men (
Matthew 12:28, Mark 4:26-27); and this Empire of God was
Peace
Arms - In
Peace even a king wore no sword (

The Roman soldier wore military sandals (caligoe whence the emperor Caligula took his name); so Christians, "your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of

Isaiah 26:3). To be at
Peace with God and ourselves we must ever war with Satan

Altar - ...
Moses was told that in all places where God recorded His name they should build an altar of wood or of stone and offer thereon sheep and oxen for burnt offerings and

Mediator - , "a go-between" (from mesos, "middle," and eimi, "to go"), is used in two ways in the NT, (a) "one who mediates" between two parties with a view to producing
Peace, as in
1 Timothy 2:5 , though more than mere "mediatorship" is in view, for the salvation of men necessitated that the Mediator should Himself posses the nature and attributes of Him towards whom He acts, and should likewise participate in the nature of those for whom He acts (sin apart); only by being possessed both of deity and humanity could He comprehend the claims of the one and the needs of the other; further, the claims and the needs could be met only by One who, Himself being proved sinless, would offer Himself an expiatory sacrifice on behalf of men; (b) "one who acts as a gurantee" so as to secure something which otherwise would not be obtained

Propitiation - For when sin had made a dreadful breach between God and man, Christ stood forth the propitiation, and made "peace by the blood of his cross?" This doctrine was beautifully shadowed forth in the Old Testament, and accomplished under the New. And Scripture is express in explaining both; for speaking of Christ as a propitiation, the apostle saith, that "having made
Peace by the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things to himself; by him, I say, (saith the apostle) whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven
Ambassage - A prince who has provoked to war a superior power will do well to send an ambassage to sue for
Peace—peace without honour
Humour - —Humour in its highest form is the sign of a mind at
Peace in itself, for which the contrasts and contradictions of life have ceased to jar, though they have not ceased to be; which accepts them as necessary and not without meaning and value, indeed as giving an added charm to life, because it looks at them from a point above them. His words are stamped as His own by their delicate ease, which implies sensibility to every real aspect of the matter in hand, a sense of mastery and
Peace. He, like all great teachers, speaks from the abundance of His heart (
Matthew 12:34), and a smile is felt in His words, as in the words of all who see contradiction without loss of inner
Peace
Victor, Bishop of Rome - 1) as having issued letters of
Peace in favour of its upholders, though afterwards persuaded by Praxeas to revoke his approval. " Lastly, he cites "the elders before Soter," chiefs of the Roman church, who had been at
Peace with those from other dioceses differing from them in the matter at issue; and especially Anicetus, who, though unable to persuade the blessed Polycarp to give up the custom which, "with John the disciple of our Lord, and the other apostles with whom John lived," he had always observed, and though himself not persuaded to renounce the custom of the elders in his own church, had still honourably accorded the Eucharist in the church to Polycarp, and parted from him in

Sacrifice - it is clear that the sin offering occupies the most important: place; the burnt offering comes next, and the meat offering or
Peace offering last of all. Yet, in actual order of time it has been seen that the patriarchal sacrifices partook much more of the nature of the
Peace offering and burnt offering, and that under the raw, by which was "the knowledge of sin," (
Romans 3:20 ) the sin offering was for the first time explicitly set forth. The meat offering, the
Peace or thank offering, the firstfruits, etc. The characteristic ceremony in the
Peace offering was the eating of the flesh by the sacrificer. The typical sense of the meat offering or
Peace offering is less connected the sacrifice of Christ himself than with those sacrifices of praise, thanksgiving, charity and devotion which we, as Christians, offer to God, and "with which he is well pleased," (
Hebrews 13:15,16 ) as with an odor of sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable to God
Flavius Valerius Constantinus - In 314 the treachery of Licinius in the East led Constantine to attack him at Cibalre, and later at Castra Jarba, but a

Peace), and in Requiem Masses or "miserere nobis" substitutes "dona eo

Esther - That she was raised up as an instrument in the hand of God to avert the destruction of the Jewish people, and to afford them protection and forward their wealth and

Bochim - ...
As there they entered into covenant with the Lord with the ritual act of self consecration, and so were assured of victory from the Lord, so here at Bochim (unknown geographically) the divine Angel makes known to them that by their making
Peace with the Canaanites, instead of rooting them out, they have broken the covenant and so must pay the penalty
Quench, Unquenchable - "The
Peace, order, and edification of the saints were evidence of the ministry of the Spirit among them,
1 Corinthians 14:26,32,33,40 , but if, through ignorance of His ways, or through failure to recognize, or refusal to submit to, them, or through impatience with the ignorance or self-will of others, the Spirit were quenched, these happy results would be absent

Peace and prosperity is indicated

So by loving concession shall we find
Peace and room at last (
Romans 12:18-21;
John 14:2;
Psalms 31:8;
Psalms 118:5)
Salt - ...
So Jesus, cf6 "have salt in yourselves, and have
Peace one with another" (
Mark 9:50); as no sacrifice to God, and no food to man, is acceptable without salt, so prayers offered without "peace" of heart toward fellow men are savourless; a warning to the disciples who had just been disputing with one another, and judging, fellow men who used Jesus' name though not following the disciples (
Mark 9:33-50)
Arbitration - The principle of arbitration is also an illustration of the grace of
Peaceableness. ‘Blessed are the
Peacemakers’ (
Matthew 5:9). This truth finds full expression in the Epistles, where
Peace, the fruit of the Spirit (
Galatians 5:22), and the concomitant of righteousness, is contrasted with the strife and envy of sin, and is noted as a mark of the kingdom of God, who is the God of
Peace
Naaman - But, if so, the prophet would hardly have dismissed him with a blessing, saying, "Go in
Peace,"
2 Kings 5:19 . To this the prophet returns no direct answer; making no other reply than, "Go in
Peace;" putting it, probably, upon his conscience to act as that should dictate, and not being willing to relieve him from this trial of his recent faith
Jerusalem - The signification of the name is somewhat uncertain: some give it as 'the foundation of
Peace;' others 'the possession of
Peace. ' Its history has, alas, been anything but that of
Peace; but
Haggai 2:9 remains to be fulfilled: "in this place will I give
Peace," doubtless referring to the meaning of 'Jerusalem. It is apparently symbolically called SALEM,'peace,' in
Psalm 76:2 ;* and ARIEL, 'the lion of God,' in
Isaiah 29:1,2,7 ; in
Isaiah 52:1 'the holy city,' as it is also in
Matthew 4:5 ;
Matthew 27:53 . ...
* On the TELLAMARNA TABLETS(see THE TELL AMARNA TABLETS under 'Egypt') Jerusalem occurs several times as u-ru-sa-lim , the probable signification of which is 'city of
Peace
Sacrifices - But this matter was made clearer afterwards in the separate appointment of sin-offerings and
Peace-offerings in the Mosaic system. The sacrifices then offered are called burnt-offerings and
Peace-offerings (
Exodus 24:5). These consisted of two great classes, Sin-offerings and
Peace-offerings.
Peace-offerings, on the other hand, may be taken to include the Passover, and all offerings of first-fruits and tithes and bloodless sacrifices. Thus Christ acknowledged the one class (sin-offering) when He bade the leper ‘offer for thy cleansing what Moses commanded’ (
Mark 1:44); and the other class (peace-offering) when He said, ‘Leave there thy gift before the altar’ (
Matthew 5:24). As we have seen, the sacrifices offered at the making of the covenant were
Peace-offerings. So in Hebrews, from the words ‘Let us come boldly’ (
1 John 4:16) to ‘Let us draw near’ (
Hebrews 10:22), the whole matter of our salvation is pictured under the form of access into the happy condition of being at
Peace with God (cf. They do not rest in the enjoyment of God’s favour in this world, as the Jewish worshippers rejoiced before God and feasted on their
Peace-offerings
Assurance - The Scriptural view is, that when sin is forgiven by the mercy of God through Christ, we are, by some means, assured of it, and
Peace and satisfaction of mind take the place of anxiety and fear. "Being justified by faith we have
Peace with God. ...
An assurance, therefore, that the sins which are felt to "be a burden intolerable" are forgiven, and that the ground of that apprehension of future punishment which causes the penitent to " bewail his manifold sins," is taken away by restoration to the favour of the offended God, must be allowed, or nothing would be more incongruous and impossible than the comfort, the
Peace the rejoicing of spirit, which in the Scriptures are attributed to believers

Romans 14:19 "the things which make for

Peace
Joannes, Bishop of Antioch - The pertinacity with which Nestorius continued to promulgate the tenets which had proved so ruinous to the
Peace of the church irritated John. John summoned Alexander of Hierapolis, Andrew of Samosata, Theodoret, and probably others, to Antioch and held a conference to draw up terms of
Peace. Each party was desirous of
Peace and disposed to concessions. 433, the act giving
Peace to the Christian world was signed and dispatched to Alexandria, where it was announced by Cyril in the cathedral on Apr. John wrote to Theodosius thanking him for the
Peace which his efforts had procured, and begged him to render it universal by restoring the deposed bishops. Isidore of Pelusium and other adherents of Cyril expressed a fear that he had made too large concessions; while John had given great offence to many of his warmest supporters, who accused him of truckling to powerful advocates of a hollow
Peace to secure his position as bishop. During the next two years John sought to force the bishops of his patriarchate to accept the terms of
Peace. The way towards
Peace had been smoothed by the death of Nestorius's successor, Maximian, Apr. Proclus's influence was exerted in favour of
Peace, and so successfully that all the remonstrant bishops, except Alexander of Hierapolis and five others, ultimately accepted the concordat and retained their sees. 54, 199) Theodosius wrote to the Oriental bishops that the church must not be disturbed by fresh controversy and that no one should presume to decide anything unfavourable to those who had died in the
Peace of the church (Baluz
War - The Israelites were not to destroy non-Canaanite cities unless the people refused Israel’s terms of
Peace. He preferred to work for
Peace (
Isaiah 9:6-7;
Micah 4:3-4;
Zechariah 9:9-10). ...
The Old Testament record...
In the early days of their settlement in Canaan, the Israelites enjoyed a fairly
Peaceful existence and saw no need for a regular army. Whatever the circumstances, Christians must, like their God, work to achieve justice and
Peace (cf.
Isaiah 2:4;
Isaiah 9:2-7;
Isaiah 11:1-9;
Matthew 5:6;
Matthew 5:9; see JUSTICE;
Peace)
Wise, Skilled - The advantages of “wisdom” are many: “For length of days, and long life, and
Peace, shall they add to thee. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
Peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law” (
Peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in Peace of them that make Peace” (James 3:17-18)
Genseric, King of the Vandals - 10, 435, a
Peace with Valentinian, undertaking to pay a tribute for the territories he had conquered, and to leave unmolested those still held by Valentinian, sending his son Hunneric as a hostage. Some of the most distinguished clergy and laity of these provinces petitioned the king to be allowed to live in
Peace under the Vandals. 441 a new
Peace was concluded, by which Valentinian retained the three Mauritanias and part of Numidia, and ceded the remainder of his African dominions to Genseric, who divided the Zeugitane or proconsular province, in which was Carthage, among the Vandals and kept the rest in his own possession. According to Victor's account, Armogast, one of the number, refused, and was tightly bound with cords, but they broke like a spider's web; and when he was hung head downwards by one foot, he seemed to sleep as
Peacefully as if in his bed. Genseric, however, in alarm, concluded
Peace with Majorian. After this victory Genseric regained Sardinia and Tripoli, where the Roman arms had met with success, and ravaged the Mediterranean coasts more cruelly than before, till a
Peace was concluded between him and the emperor Zeno
New Covenant - ...
In
Ezekiel 34:25 , God promises that he will gather his sheep Israel and place his servant David over them as their shepherd; then he will make a covenant of
Peace with them, so that Israel will live in the land in safety and prosperity. In
Ezekiel 37:24-28 , God promises that he will make a covenant of
Peace with a restored Israel under a Davidic king. This covenant of
Peace is also called an everlasting covenant. His covenant of
Peace will not be removed. ...
In the prophets the promises of restoration, the new possibility of obedience, and national forgiveness of sin occur frequently without being connected to the concepts of the new covenant, eternal covenant, or covenant of
Peace
Ephesians, Book of - ...
“Grace be to you, and
Peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ” (
Ephesians 1:2 ) is in all of Paul's epistles. It is always in that order, grace and
Peace.
Peace is the condition of the believer's heart after grace has done its work. They are in that order because there can be no
Peace in the heart until grace has done its work. In the cross He brought
Peace and provided access to God through the one Holy Spirit. As usual, Paul concluded his letter with a benediction, praying for
Peace, love, faith, and grace for his beloved readers. Live under God's benediction of

Peace and war, was of the first importance
Salt (2) - Among Eastern peoples, ‘to eat of his salt’ is a sign of enduring friendship and
Peace. (2) There is also a suggestion of its significance as a symbol of concord in the counsel, ‘Have salt in yourselves, and be at

Mark 9:33-37)

Since the account includes the role of a speaking serpent in an environment of perfect
Peace, beauty, and well-being for Adam and Eve, critical scholars have proposed that the account is a myth. Eve led Adam to join her, acting with hearts deviated from God's stipulated way of life, service, and
Peace. They were now no longer at
Peace in a wholesome, well-functioning relationship with God, nor with each other, for they were quick to shift blame. They experienced the horrible reality of death, which basically means to have torn apart what belongs together for the exercise and enjoyment of love,
Peace, goodness, contentment, and joy

Lukewarmness - To overcome such a state of mind, we should consider how offensive it is to God: how incongruous with the very idea and nature of true religion; how injurious to
Peace and felicity of mind; how ungrateful to Jesus Christ, whose whole life was labour for us and our salvation; how grievous to the Holy Spirit; how dreadful an example to those who have no religion; how unlike the saints of old, and even to our enemies in the worst of causes; how dangerous to our immortal souls, since it is indicative of our want of love to God, and exposes us to just condemnation,
Amos 6:1
Absalom - ABSALOM (‘father is
Peace’)
Dianius, Bishop of Caesarea - We see him, however, in these troubled times weak and undecided, led by his
Peaceful disposition to deprecate controversy, and by his feebleness to side with the strongest; destitute of strong theological convictions, and wanting the clearness of thought to appreciate subtleties of doctrine. After two years he recalled Basil, and declared that he had signed the creed of Rimini in the simplicity of his heart, hoping to restore

Theonas, Bishop of Alexandria - After some opening words on the duty of so using the
Peace which the church was then enjoying "by means of a kindly sovereign" that God might be glorified by genuinely Christian lives, Theonas urges Lucian to thank Him for a signal opportunity of thus promoting His cause by fidelity to "an emperor who was indeed not yet enrolled in the Christian ranks," but who might be favourably impressed in regard to Christianity by the loyalty of the Christians to whose care he had "entrusted his life
Ass - It is lowly as compared with the horse; it symbolizes
Peace, as the horse does war, and as such bore the meek and lowly yet divinely royal Savior, the Prince of
Peace, in His triumphal entrance into His own capital (
Zechariah 9:9); the young untamed colt bearing Him quietly marks His universal dominion over nature as well as spirit

Peace with the Samnites because of internal dissensions and difficulties near home. In 304 the Samnites asked for

Peace had been concluded with Hiero. By the terms of the
Peace Carthage had to evacuate Sicily and the neighbouring islands. The Romans at the close of the First Macedonian War (214-205) made
Peace with Philip, so that they might be left free to deal with Africa. It must not be supposed that there was complete
Peace in all these territories from the moment they were formally annexed. The first stage (88-84) was concluded by a
Peace, according to the terms of which Mithradates agreed to give up his conquests. The Second Mithradatic War was entirely due to the aggression of a Roman general Murena (83), and was with some difficulty concluded by a
Peace in the next year
David - But Saul's jealousy returned by a fresh victory David gained over the Philistines; who, finding the king was determined to seek his life, retired from court, and was dismissed in
Peace by Jonathan, after a solemn renewal of their friendship, to provide for his own safety. Being provoked by a churlish farmer, who evil treated and abused his messengers, he, in the warmth of his temper, swore he would destroy him and his family; but was immediately pacified by the address and prudence of a wife, of whom the wretch was unworthy: her he sent in
Peace and honour to her family, and blessed for her advice, and keeping him from avenging himself with his own hand. In the close of his life, and in the near prospect of death, to demonstrate his love of justice, he charged Solomon to punish with death Joab, for the base murder of two great men, whom he assassinated under the pretence of
Peace and friendship. The Hebrew nation owed the long
Peace of Solomon the son's reign to the bravery and wisdom of the father
Augustus (2) - ...
As this new era approached, signs were multiplying of a desire for
Peace on the part of ruler and ruled, though it is scarcely true that the actual year of the birth at Bethlehem was distinguished by the prevalence of universal
Peace. 13–9, belongs the famous ‘Altar of
Peace,’ whose actual site has been laid bare within very recent years (1903–1904) under the Via in Lucina, a little way off from the Corso, the old Flaminian Way. The very same year in which Augustus became Pontifex Maximus owing to the death of his former co-triumvir Lepidus, the Senate decreed the erection of an ‘Altar of
Peace,’ which at first was to have been set up in the Senate-house, but was afterwards placed on the edge of the Campus Martius. 13), ‘when
Peace throughout the whole dominions of the Roman people by land and sea had been obtained by victories,’ and ‘only twice before his birth since the foundation of the city,’ in all five times up to the Christian era. ...
The altar was a splendid tribute to
Peace, but it was a
Peace after many and bloody victories, reminding us of the saying, ‘where they make a desert they call it
Peace’ (Tac. Agricola, 30), and it was also a
Peace that was not to last. Yet there the altar stood on the field of Mars, as the reign of the ‘Prince of
Peace’ was ushered in, and became for ages thereafter a witness to the Pax Romana of the Augustan age
Leo Xiii, Pope - His reign may be fittingly entitled the "Era of

Acacius, Bishop of Beroea - On the rise of the Nestorian controversy Acacius endeavoured to act the part of a
Peacemaker, for which his age of more than 100 years, and the popular reverence which had gained for him the title of "the father and master of all bishops," well qualified him. ...
Acacius disapproved of Cyril's anathemas of Nestorius, which appeared to him to savour of Apollinarianism; but he spent his last days in promoting
Peace between the rival parties, taking part in the synod held at the emperor's instance in his own city of Beroea, A. He saw the

Peace He gives and of the judgment that follows in His steps. The lament over the city, the retort to the Pharisees’ objection, ‘If these should hold their
Peace,’ etc. The song is, ‘Peace in heaven and glory in the highest,’ a seeming adaptation of the ‘Hosanna,’ etc. The harmony between the two offices of the Messiah as king and priest is well described in
Zechariah 6:13 ‘and the counsel of

Peace (
John 5:23-240;
John 12:23, Luke 4:25-28, Mark 7:24, Matthew 8:10;

Yet, notwithstanding all this, He is represented in every Gospel as being peculiarly calm, sincere, humble, and self-forgetful, possessing a heart of singular purity, having not the slightest doubt of His own right relationship to God, trusting the inner witness perfectly, and constantly possessing a
Peace ‘deep as the unfathomed sea,’ which
Peace He believed He could impart to others. ‘Jesus’), though believing that Jesus never claimed to be the Messiah, at the same time acknowledges that ‘his most striking characteristic was his claim that spiritual
Peace and salvation were to be found in the mere acceptance of his leadership. it is not even remembered that Jesus ever promised ‘joy,’ or ‘peace,’ or ‘rest. the transforming principle is Jesus, who is ‘the Word’ and ‘the Life,’ and the result is ‘peace’ (

Peace to be had (
Jeremiah 6:14 ; 8:11 ; 14:3 ; 23:17 ; 28:2,11 ;
Ezekiel 13:10 ;
Micah 3:5 ), for their visions were drawn out of their own hearts (
Jeremiah 14:14 ; 23:16 ;
Ezekiel 13:2-3 ; 22:28 ). But the prophet who prophesies
Peace will be recognized as one truly sent by the Lord only if his prediction comes true" (vv
Josiah - His tenderness of heart (conscience) and his humbling himself before God with tears and rent garments brought God's promise through Huldah that he should be "gathered to his grave in
Peace," and "should not see the evil God was about to bring on" Jerusalem. It is true he fell in battle; but his remains were (and were the last) buried in his fathers' sepulchres "in
Peace," before seeing the enemy overthrow his capital (compare
Jeremiah 34:5;
Isaiah 57:1-2). Compare
Jeremiah 22:10 "weep not for the dead, neither bemoan him" (namely, Josiah slain at Megiddo or Magdolum in Herodotus); he is at

Enthusiasm - On the other hand, if the mind be enlightened, if the will which was perverse be renovated, detached from evil, and inclined to good; if the powers be roused to exertion for the promotion of the divine glory, and the good of men; if the natural corruptions of the heart be suppressed; if
Peace and joy arise from a view of the goodness of God, attended with a spiritual frame of mind, a heart devoted to God, and a holy, useful life: however this may be branded with the name of enthusiasm, it certainly is from God, because bare human efforts, unassisted by him, could never produce such effects as these
Visitation - Thus in
Luke 19:44 we may understand the ‘time of visitation’ as being either the time during which Jerusalem was being critically regarded by God, and neglected, through ignorance of this inspection, to display those features of national character which would have redeemed it in God’s eyes; or the time of spiritual opportunity, afforded by the presence of ‘God manifest in the flesh,’ in which it might have known and sought ‘the things which belonged unto its

Desolation - When Jeremiah and Ezekiel, who most frequently use the words, mention חָרִבָה or שַׁמָה, they always have one thing in their mind—the vision of a once
Peaceful and flourishing place which by fire and sword has been laid waste, and is left uninhabited. And to the bitter memory of bygone devastation we have to add the apprehension of what might at any time happen if the country were swept by the Romans, of whose methods their own historian wrote, ‘they make a solitude and call it

Joel 3:10 . This beautiful image the Prophet Isaiah has reversed, and applied to the establishment of that profound and lasting
Peace which is to bless the church of Christ in the latter days: "And they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more,"
Isaiah 2:4

Corinth - But Gallio, who was equally indifferent both to Judaism and Christianity, and finding that Paul had committed no breach of morality, or of the public

Peace to his children, and address them in the words, "Paul to the church of God, which is at Corinth
Death of Christ -
Romans 5:1 puts it, "since we have been justified through faith, we have
Peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, " which means that through him "we have now received reconciliation" (
Romans 5:11 ). " That reconciliation is a matter of his "making
Peace through his blood, shed on the cross" (
Colossians 1:20 ). This theme is developed in
John 11:7 , where it is made plain that
Peace with God and
Peace with one another through Christ belong together. "He himself is our
Peace, " breaking down "the dividing wall of hostility" between Jew and Gentile, "making
Peace, " and in one body reconciling both to God by the cross. In all the many ways listed, and more, the death of Christ is spoken of as the way of salvation, of our acceptance with God, of pardon and
Peace
Hormisdas, Bishop of Rome - Anastasius had to procure
Peace by assenting to 3 conditions, one being that he should summon a council at Heraclea, the pope being invited and free discussion allowed (Theophan. The Easterns had but to renounce their errors and accept the terms of reconciliation dictated by the apostolic see, and
Peace would be at once restored. He says, "Know therefore, most holy one, that, according to what I have written, agreeing in the truth with thee, I too, loving
Peace, renounce all the heretics repudiated by thee: for I hold the most holy churches of the elder and of the new Rome to be one; I define that see of the apostle Peter and this of the imperial city to be one see. "
Peace being thus concluded at Constantinople, a deputation was sent to Thessalonica, headed by bp. Hormisdas replied that he was anxious to believe in his innocence, and in his being the author of the
Peace now concluded, but expressed dissatisfaction that he "delayed even to follow those whom he ought to have led
Animals - Yet the exercise of dominion has been flawed by sin and the harmony and
Peace of creation have been shattered ( 1618650209_85-19 ). In
Genesis 1:29 only plants were given as food for people, and the picture of the garden in Genesis 2 is one of
Peace between animals and Adam. A colt symbolizes
Peace, and so Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a colt rather than a horse, which was associated with war. Murray, The Cosmic Covenant: Biblical Themes of Justice,
Peace and the Integrity of Creation
Fruit - Paul (
Ephesians 5:9), ‘is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,’ and the more familiar passage in

Peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, self-control. the seed which bears the fruit) of righteousness is sown in
Peace for them that make

Colossians 1:21 not the union of Jew and Gentile is in view, but the change wrought in the individual believer from alienation and enmity, on account of evil works, to "reconciliation" with God; in
Colossians 1:20 the word is used of the Divine purpose to "reconcile" through Christ "all things unto Himself . whether things upon the earth, or things in the heavens," the basis of the change being the
Peace effected "through the blood of His Cross
Jacob - When they grew up, Esau became a hunter, whereas Jacob was a
Peaceful man, dwelling in tents. He made a vow that if God would bless him and bring him back in

Peace, then, and subscribe, that you may be restored to your see. Wherefore Athanasius being removed from the communion of us all (I will not even receive his letters), I say that I have
Peace and communion with you and with all the Eastern bishops. most dear brethren, by this letter, written with a plain and simple mind, that I have
Peace with all of you, bishops of the Catholic church. And I desire you to make known to our brethren and fellow-bishops Epictetus and Auxentius that with them I have
Peace and ecclesiastical communion. Whoever may dissent from this our
Peace and concord, let him know that he is separated from our communion. We have
Peace with all the Eastern bishops, and I with you. The glory of restoring orthodoxy and
Peace to the church is mainly due, not to the bp
Priest (2) - (γ) The meaning of the title ‘king of Salem’ suggests the idea of
Peace. The order and connexion of righteousness and
Peace are noted in Hebrews. First comes righteousness as the basis of relation to God, and then
Peace as the outcome of righteousness. Righteousness without
Peace vindicates the Law and punishes sin,
Peace without righteousness ignores the Law and condones sin. Righteousness and
Peace when combined honour the Law while pardoning sin. Does it not betoken a lack of spiritual perception to demand that Christ should always be doing something? Why may we not be content with the thought that He is there, and that in His presence above is the secret of
Peace, the assurance of access, and the guarantee of permanent relation with God? It is just at this point that one essential difference between type and antitype is noticed
Middle Ages - The Dark Ages then would be the time of the barbarian, Islam, and northern invasions, causing eventually the downfall of the Roman Empire and the destruction of the ancient civilizations, the time of the growing ascendancy of Christianity occasionally favored by those in power, though more often hindered and even persecuted because of the ambition of worldly rulers to subordinate religion to the state and of their alliance with heretical Christians, such as the Arians in the West, the Iconoclasts in the East; the time also of the conversion, by Apostolic men like Patrick, Martin, Augustine, Boniface, of the barbarous invaders and other more

Body of Christ - The teachings are that: Christ, Head of the body, is to have the one permanent position of honor (
Colossians 1:18 ); when the body suffers, it is an extension of the sufferings of Christ, the Head (
Colossians 1:24 ); a puffed up (fleshy) mind has lost connection with the Head, Christ (

The hand when it is the right hand may indicate security and
Peace
Intercession of Christ - Christ appears before God with his own body; but whether he intercedes vocally or not cannot be known: though it is most probable, I think, that he does not: however, it is certain that he does not intercede in like manner as when on earth, with prostration of body, cries and tears, which would be quite inconsistent with his state of exaltation and glory; nor as supplicating an angry judge, for
Peace is made by the blood of the cross; nor as litigating a point in a court of judicature; but his intercession is carried on by showing himself as having done, as their surety, all that law and justice could require, by representing his blood and sacrifice as the ground of his people's acceptance with the Father,
Revelation 5:6

1 Corinthians 10:18
Feet - The sinner’s feet axe ‘swift to shed blood’ (
Romans 3:15), but the Christian’s are to be ‘sandalled’ with readiness to proclaim the gospel of
Peace (
Ephesians 6:15), and are made beautiful by that mission (
Romans 10:15)
Ammon, Ammonites, Children of Ammon - In the early days of Saul's reign they besieged Jabesh-gilead, and would only make

Peace be multiplied

Messiah - From this tribe would come a great leader who would rule the nations in a reign of
Peace, prosperity and enjoyment (
Genesis 49:9-12). The people of Israel therefore lived in the expectation of a time when all enemies would be destroyed and the ideal king would reign in a worldwide kingdom of

King - At limes this heavenly Kingship of Christ is represented as undisturbed by further conflict, and as
Peaceful sway over the powers which have been brought into subjection. , His reign is no
Peaceful sway, but a ceaseless conflict against the powers of darkness. It is questionable whether that reign is here regarded as one of uninterrupted
Peace and blessedness, or of continuous conflict against the powers of evil. ) thinks that the only original contribution made by the author of the Revelation in this picture of the millennium is the representation of the interregnum as a period of

Euphemius, Patriarch of Constantinople - His successor Gelasius immediately announced his elevation to the emperor Anastasius, but took no notice of Euphemius, who had written at once to express his congratulations, and his desire for
Peace and for the reunion of the churches. Theodoric had become master of Italy, and in 493 sent Faustus and Irenaeus to the emperor Anastasius to ask to
Peace. He asked Euphemius in confidence to beg the bishops at Constantinople (there were always bishops coming and going to and from the metropolis) to pray for
Peace and thus furnish him with an opportunity of entering on negotiations
Jerusalem - This name is in the original in the dual form, and means "possession of
Peace," or "foundation of
Peace. The name is there spelt Uru-Salim ("city of
Peace")
Justice - He seeks to make
Peace between them; having beard both sides, he declares who is right and who is wrong, and settles the form of satisfaction which the latter should make; but his judgment has no binding force, no power other than that of moral suasion; influence is brought to bear by the members of the famity of the one declared to be in the wrong, urging him to submit, the earlier régime thus coming into play, in a modified way; but if he is not to be prevailed upon, the issue is decided by the sword. One of the worst results, however, of this was that the motives of administering justice became different; in the old days, when the sheik, or the city elder, was called upon to decide an issue, he did it rather in the capacity of a friend who desired
Peace between two other friends than as a strictly legal official; his interest in the disputants, as being both of his own kin, or at all events both members of the same community to which he belonged, impelled him to do his utmost to make
Peace. It was otherwise when a stranger had to decide between two men of whom he knew nothing; he had no personal interest in them, nor would it have been his main endeavour to try to secure a lasting
Peace between the two, as had been the case in earlier days among the sheiks and city elders; the tie of kinship was absent
Sacrifice And Offering -
Peace offering (zebach shelamin ; well-being in NRSV; “shared” in REB; “fellowship” in NIV). The idea of thanksgiving was associated with the

Leviticus - Aaron's "holding his
Peace" under the stroke is a marvelous exhibition of grace; yet his not eating the sin offering in the holy place shows his keen paternal anguish which excused his violation of the letter of the law in Moses' judgment. Leviticus 1-3, contain the first Decalogue, namely, the burnt offering in three sections, the meat offering in four, and the
Peace offering in three
Blessing And Cursing - ...
Words of blessing also are used as a salutation or greeting, with an invocation of blessing as a stronger greeting than “peace” (shalom ,
Genesis 48:20 ). Aaron's benediction both proclaims and petitions the Lord's blessing: “The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee
Peace” (
Numbers 6:24-26 )
Roman Empire - The universal
Peace within the empire, so that Janus' temple was shut; the military roads constructed; piracy put clown; commerce uniting the various lands; Latin spread in the West as Greek in the East: these causes all combined in God's providential arrangements to prepare for a world-wide religion. Under all the outward appearance of unity,
Peace, and prosperity, moral death and stagnant corruption prevailed on all sides
Fruit of the Spirit - The fruit of the Holy Spirit's work in the life of the individual Christian, which is enumerated in
Galatians 5:22-23 , can be described as follows: an active love for God and one's fellowman; a rejoicing in all kinds of circumstances;
Peacefulness and serenity of character and
Peacemaking among people; patience and longsuffering with persons, some of whom may not be easy to get along with; kindness toward others; goodness that seeks to aid others; faithfulness and dependability in one's relationships with God and other people; gentleness and meekness in accepting God's will and in dealing with others; and the ability to keep oneself in check and under control in all kinds of circumstances. The Christian should use whatever gift or gifts he or she may have been given lovingly, joyfully,
Peacefully, patiently, kindly, and in keeping with the other fruit of the Spirit. The
Peace of God is something the Christian is expected to enjoy (
Philippians 4:7 ). The believer is commanded to continue living at
Peace with all people (
Romans 12:18 ) and to seek to be reconciled with those who consider themselves enemies (
Matthew 5:23-24 )
Refuge - As the man-slayer found in this city of refuge a blessed exchange, and a safe inclosure, both under one, so soul-murderers, when taking shelter in Christ, barter their sins for his righteousness, and find
Peace and safety in the blood of his cross. So Ramoth and Golan both read with an eye to Jesus, as they express exaltation and joy, may be supposed to imply the raising up of the depressed spirits of a sinner when fleeing to Christ for refuge, and finding him all he stands in need of, as well as that "joy and
Peace in belie ving, when abounding in hope through the power of the Holy Ghost
Water - “Water” of oppression or affliction is so designated because it is drunk in prison: “Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in
Peace” (
1 Kings 22:27). ” Rest and
Peace are figured by waters of rest, or quiet waters: “… He leadeth me beside the still waters” (
Heaven - Instead of the land of Canaan, we have heaven; for the earthly Jerusalem, we have the heavenly, the city of the living God; in place of the congregation of Israel after the flesh, we have the general assembly and church of the first-born, that is, all true believers "made perfect;" for just men in the imperfect state of the old dispensation, we have just men made perfect in evangelical knowledge and holiness; instead of Moses, the mediator of the old covenant, we have Jesus the Mediator of the new and everlasting covenant; and instead of the blood of slaughtered animals, which was sprinkled upon the Israelites, the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, to make a typical atonement, we have the blood of the Son of God, which was shed for the remission of the sins of the whole world; that blood which doth not, like the blood of Abel, call for vengeance but for mercy, which hath made
Peace between heaven and earth, effected the true and complete atonement for sin, and which therefore communicates
Peace to the conscience of every sinner that believes the Gospel
Merciful, Mercy - ...
"Wherever the words mercy and
Peace are found together they occur in that order, except in
Galatians 6:16 . Mercy is the act of God,
Peace is the resulting experience in the heart of man
Gospel - It is styled, "the Gospel of Christ," because he is the Author and great subject of it,
Romans 1:16 ; and "the Gospel of
Peace and salvation," because it publishes
Peace with God to the penitent and believing, gives, to such,
Peace of conscience and tranquillity of mind, and is the means of their salvation, present and eternal
Jeremiah - ...
Jeremiah wished for
Peace, but he knew there could be no
Peace as long as the people continued in their sin. The false prophets, on the other hand, assured the people of
Peace, knowing that messages that pleased the hearers brought good financial rewards (6:13; 8:11)

Peace, he arose, to enlighten the Gentiles, and to be the glory of his people Israel, he arose, as this Scripture represents him, as "the tight of the morning, when the sun ariseth, even a morning without clouds
Cluster - For as the grapes of Eshcol represented the fulness of Christ, and the blood of the grape became no unapt resemblance of Him who trod the wine press of the wrath of God, and whose blood, in cleansing the sinner, revives the soul in the assurance of pardon, mercy, and
Peace, by his cross, so the cypress, or the camphire, in the fragrancy of its clusters, becomes no less typical of His incense and merits, in whose righteousness alone the church is accepted
Hero - The messianic expectation included the hope that the Messiah would be “mighty”: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of

Nazareth - Here the Prince of

Leontius, Bishop of Antioch - Yet we may charitably think that the gentleness and love of
Peace which all attest were not mere hypocrisy, and may impute his toleration of heretics to no worse cause than insufficient appreciation of the serious issues involved
Macedonius ii, Patriarch of Constantinople - In 515 pope Hormisdas worked for the restitution of Macedonius, whom he considered unjustly deposed; it had been a stipulation in the treaty of
Peace between Vitalian and Anastasius that the patriarch and all the deposed bishops should be restored to their sees
Paulus i, Bishop of Constantinople - The orthodox party prevailed; Paulus was elected and consecrated by bishops who happened to be at Constantinople in the Church of
Peace, close to what was afterwards the Great Church of St
Trust -
2 Corinthians 12:9), and by prayer and supplication finds that God’s
Peace, far surpassing all understanding of men, keeps guard over his heart and thoughts in Christ Jesus (
Philippians 4:6-7). Christian joy and
Peace are effects of a power beyond ourselves. The full realization of the meaning of Christ’s promise of
Peace is not to be had at once. But if there is established the relation of such confidence in God that all our weaknesses, doubts, fears, and sins drive us to our sure Helper, the goal of perfect
Peace will surely be reached at last (cf
the Ten Virgins - The fruit of the Holy Spirit in God and in man, on earth and in heaven, is love, joy,
Peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness. Do not put off walking in the light till you feel your heart full of light and love and joy and
Peace and all such holy illumination. As soon as you begin to ask for the Spirit of love and joy and
Peace to be shed abroad in your heart, begin yourself to shed that Spirit abroad in all your life. Let all your words and deeds, let all your moods of mind, and all your affections of heart, be full of love and joy and
Peace, and He will not fail to work in you to will and to do of His good pleasure
Henoticon, the - Zeno readily gave credence to these charges, and when it was further represented that, if he recognized Peter Mongus, the deposed patriarch,
Peace would be restored, he wrote to Simplicius, stating his grounds for hesitating to sanction the appointment of John, and urging the restoration of Peter Mongus to put an end to the distractions of the church. The resulting
Peace was naturally more apparent than real and satisfied no one. Zeno and Acacius had "made a solitude and called it
Peace. This choice was fatal to the restoration of
Peace in the East on the terms of the "Henoticon
Feasts - The feast of tabernacles commemorates the establishment of God's people in the land of promise, their pleasant and
Peaceful home, after the 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, living in shifting tents. ...
Solomon (appropriately to his name, which means king of
Peace) also did so, for his reign was preeminently the period of
Peaceful possession when every man dwelt under his own vine and figtree (
1 Kings 4:25); immediately after that the last relic of wilderness life was abolished by the ark being taken from under curtains and deposited in the magnificent temple of stone in the seventh month (
2 Chronicles 5:3), the feast of tabernacles was celebrated on the 15th day, and on the 23rd Solomon sent the great congregation away glad in heart for the goodness that the Lord had showed unto David, Solomon, and Israel His people. The antitypical feast of tabernacles shall be under the antitypical Joshua, Jesus the Captain of our salvation, the antitypical Solomon, the Prince of
Peace (
Isaiah 9:6;
Revelation 7:9-17). That feast shall remind Israel of hardships now past, and of salvation and
Peace now realized on earth, so that "the voice of rejoicing and salvation shall be in the tabernacles of the righteous" (
Psalms 118:15)
Care - ...
Christ’s own life is the supreme example of perfect

Diligence, Diligent, Diligently - 2; it signifies "to hasten to do a thing, to exert oneself, endeavor, give diligence;" in
Galatians 2:10 , of remembering the poor, AV, "was forward," RV, "was zealous;" in

Beersheba - Called so from the oath of
Peace between Abraham and Abimelech, king of the Philistines (
Genesis 21:31), else from the seven (sheba' ) ewe lambs slain there: indeed sheba' , an oath, is from the custom of binding one's self by seven things, as Abraham made the seven ewe lambs a pledge of his covenant with Abimelech

Peace with God, through Jesus Christ our Lord
Abner - Received favorably and feasted by David, after his wife Michal was taken from Phaltiel and restored to him, Abner went forth from Hebron in
Peace. But Joab, by a message, brought him back from the well of Sirah, and, taking him aside to speak
Peaceably, murdered him, Abishai also being an accomplice, for the blood of Asahel (
Numbers 35:19;
2 Samuel 3:30;
2 Samuel 3:39), and on Joab's part also, as appears likely from Amasa's case, from fear of Abner's becoming a rival in the chief command (
2 Samuel 20:4-10)
Anglo-Saxon Church - The invaders set up a number of independent kingdoms, often at war with each other; they were evangelized, as the chances of
Peace or alliance might offer, in the following order: Kent (See of Canterbury founded 597; Rochester, 604); Essex (London, 604); Northumbria (including the district called Deira; York, 625); East Anglia (Dunwich, 630); Mercia (Lichfield, 656); Wessex (Winchester, 669); Sussex, the neighboring kingdom to Kent, was the last to be converted (Selsey, 708)
Fierceness - It is present in the Nazareth sermon in His OT illustrations of prophets not honoured in their own country (Luke 4); in His declaration of war with evil,—‘I am come to send fire on the earth’ (
Luke 12:49), and ‘I came not to send
Peace but a sword’ (
Matthew 10:34); it even finds expression in the very phrase γεννἠματα ἐχιδνῶν used by the Baptist (
Matthew 12:34)
Eating - (
Luke 15:2) How blessedly the apostle speaks on the subject: "The kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, and

Peace,"
Numbers 4:23
Roman Empire - Augustus divided the provinces into two classes -- (1) Imperial; (2) Senatorial; retaining in his own hands, for obvious reasons, those provinces where the presence of a large military force was necessary, and committing the
Peaceful and unarmed provinces to the senate. " (
Galatians 4:4 ) The general
Peace within the limits of the empire the formation of military roads, the suppression of piracy, the march of the legions, the voyages of the corn fleets, the general in crease of traffic, the spread of the Latin language in the West as Greek had already spread in the East, the external unity of the empire, offered facilities hitherto unknown for the spread of a world-wide religion

Peace ( Sermo ipsius Severiani de Pace, ib
Zechariah, Book of - With glorious promises for the
Peace and prosperity of Jerusalem, with the nations coming to seek Jehovah, the original Book of Zechariah closes. Zechariah loves, rather, to dwell upon
Peace and prosperity, upon sin removed, and the Divine spirit inflowing. This is followed by the prediction of the coming king of
Peace a beautiful lyric which breaks in sharply upon the context, and is followed by a prediction of successful resistance to the Greeks, and victory given through Jehovah
the Unprofitable Servant - He will not take rest nor
Peace of mind short of the most absolute perfection in his services, leaving no room for the rest and the
Peace that Christ offers, and Himself is, to all His true-hearted servants. Now what is that but making Christ of none effect as your High Priest? What is that but making Him die, and rise again, and intercede for you, in vain? "I have found," says this eminent theologian and evangelical preacher, "this mode of reasoning successful in enabling the mourner to detect the source of his causeless sorrows, and to recover that
Peace of mind which results from a simple and unhesitating reliance upon our great High Priest, for the pardon of all our sins, and for the acceptance of all our services
Micah, Theology of - In Micah it embraces the remnant's restoration from Babylon (4:9-10), the birth of the Messiah (5:2), and his universal and everlasting

Peace: "they will beat their swords into plowshares" (v. He will be their
Peace, protecting them from all their enemies, including Assyria, the very symbol of oppression (vv
King, Kingship - How was Israel to understand the relationship between their obligation to Yahweh, the divine King, on the one hand, and their obligation to the human king on the other? What was the role of the human king in ancient Israel, and to what extent was this role realized? What conditions gave rise to the idea of the coming of a future messianic king who would someday establish
Peace and justice in all the earth?...
It is important to understand the way in which the Old Testament presents the relationship between divine and human kingship. ...
This approach, however, does violence to the many positive biblical statements concerning God's design for the institution of kingship in the context of this sovereign plan for the redemption of his people, and ultimately for the uNIVersal triumph of
Peace and justice on the earth. During his reign wars will cease and
Peace and justice will be established in the earth (
Isaiah 2:1-5 ; 11:1-10 ;
Amos 9:11-15 )
Marriage - The
Peace of human society, in cutting off a principal source of contention, by assigning one or more women to one man, and protecting his exclusive right by sanctions of morality and law. A Christian state recognizes marriage as a branch of public morality, and a source of civil
Peace and strength. It is connected with the
Peace of society by assigning one woman to one man, and the state protects him, therefore, in her exclusive possession
Evangelize, Evangelism - Israel will know
Peace, good, and salvation (52:7). ...
The message Jesus proclaims is revelational (
Acts 10:36 ) and points to the arrival of endtime salvation in terms of the coming of God's reign or of
Peace (
Matthew 24:14 ;
Mark 1:14-15 ;
Luke 8:1 ;
Acts 10:36 ;
Ephesians 2:17 ; cf. The divine enablement in proclaiming the good news is a grace given; a spiritual gifting from the risen and exalted Lord, so much the work of Christ that Paul can say that the risen One himself comes and preaches
Peace to those who are afar off and to those who are near (
1Col 15:3-4 ; 3:2,8 ; 4:11 ; 6:19 ). Every member must have feet shod "with the readiness that comes from the gospel of
Peace" (
Ephesians 6:15 )
Thessalonica - As the
Peace of the city had been disturbed, the angry passions of the ‘wild beast’ aroused, and a dangerous state of public feeling created, they felt justified in binding over the Apostle’s friends-Jason and others-to keep the
Peace, and in the circumstances this could be done only if those friends advised the man who was the innocent cause of the disturbance to leave the town
Tears - In each of these cases it may be useful to notice that tears were turned into joy; for to the penitent woman Christ said, ‘Go in
Peace’; Mary’s grief was changed to adoring rapture when the risen Saviour pronounced her name; and to Peter, by a special revelation of grace, He granted the blessedness of the man whose transgression is forgiven and whose sin is covered. The sorrows which were about to swamp Jerusalem in a flood of woe wrung from His heart the agonizing cry, ‘If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto
Peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes’ (
Luke 19:42)
Timothy, the Second Epistle to - Hence, "mercy" is inserted between "grace" and "peace" in the pastoral epistles for the first time; in the former epistles he has" grace and
Peace" only
Simeon - Then he took him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said: "Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in
Peace, according to Thy word: for mine eyes have seen Thy salvation. They had no
Peace in their hearts, or in their tongues at Him, till they had eaten Him up and annihilated Him
Arians - Constantine attended in person, and strongly recommended
Peace and unanimity. Successive emperors took different sides, and thus was the
Peace of the church agitated for many years, and practical religion sacrificed alternately to the dogmas or the interests of one party or the other; and each was in turn excommunicated, fined, imprisoned, or banished
Reformation - Soon after the conclusion of the
Peace at Nuremburg, died John, elector of Saxony, who was succeeded by his son John Frederic, a prince of invincible fortitude and magnanimity, but whose reign was little better than one continued train of disappointments and calamities. This conference, however, was, for certain reasons, removed to the diet that was to be held at Ratisbon the same year, and in which the principal subject of deliberation was a memorial presented by a person unknown, containing a project of
Peace. The elector of Saxony and landgrave of Hesse, who were the chief supporters of the Protestant cause, upon this, took proper measures to prevent their being surprised and overwhelmed by a superior force; but, before the horrors of war commenced, the great reformer Luther died in
Peace at Ayselben, the place of his nativity, in 1546. During this interval, therefore, the emperor judged it necessary to fall upon some method of accommodating the religious differences, and maintaining
Peace until the council so long expected should be finally obtained. By this sudden and unforeseen accident, Charles was so much dispirited, that he was willing to make
Peace almost on any terms. To this
Peace Albert, marquis of Brandenburg, refused to subscribe; and continued the war against the Roman Catholics, committed such ravages in the empire, that a confederacy was at last formed against him. After various debates the following acts were passed on the twenty-fifth of September:...
That the Protestants who followed the confession of Augsburg should be for the future considered as entirely free from the jurisdiction of the Roman pontiff and from the authority and superintendence of the bishops; that they were left at perfect liberty to enact laws for themselves relating to their religious sentiments, discipline, and worship; that all the inhabitants of the German empire should be allowed to judge for themselves in religious matters, and to join themselves to that church whose doctrine and worship they thought the most pure and consonant to the spirit of true Christianity; and that all those who should injure or prosecute any person under religious pretences, and on account of their opinions, should be declared and proceeded against as public enemies of the empire, invaders of its liberty, and disturbers of its
Peace
Eusebius of Caesarea - For nearly half a century—a longer period than at any other time since its foundation—the church had enjoyed uninterrupted
Peace as regards attacks from without. ...
Not long after the restoration of
Peace (a. Among the earliest results of the
Peace was the erection of a magnificent basilica at Tyre under the direction of his friend Paulinus, the bishop. The explanations were so far satisfactory that for the sake of
Peace he subscribed to the creed. The final
Peace of the church seemed as far distant as ever. The stress which Eusebius lays on Constantine's desire to secure
Peace on this, as on all other occasions, suggests that that was a predominant idea in the writer's own mind, though perhaps not unmixed with other influences. But it would probably comprise any martyrdoms which occurred before the long
Peace that preceded the outbreak of the last persecution under Diocletian
Perfection (of Jesus) - And
Peace rests upon all He does. The mountain with its
Peace and quietness, its hours of prayer and still thought, was His place of transfiguration. But that did not touch the inward joy and
Peace of His faith. But
Peace, ‘subsisting at the heart of endless agitation,’ was His.
Peace breathes through it,
Peace ‘whose other names are rapture, power, clear sight, and love. ’ Only twice during that night was this
Peace greatly disturbed: in Gethsemane when He prayed, ‘Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me’ (
Priest - In Peace they ministered as judges and expounded the law to the people
Vine, Vineyard - As in the case of the olive, the culture of the vine needs a
Peaceful, settled population, as the plants require several years’ care before bearing fruit (
Zephaniah 1:13 ), and constant attention if they are to maintain their excellence; hence to sit under one’s ‘own vine and fig tree’ was a favourite image of
Peace (
1 Kings 4:25 ,
Micah 4:4 ,
Zechariah 3:10 )
Preparation, Prepare, Prepared - A — 1: ἑτοιμασία (Strong's #2091 — Noun Feminine — hetoimasia — het-oy-mas-ee'-ah ) denotes (a) "readiness," (b) "preparation;" it is found in
Ephesians 6:15 , of having the feet shod with the "preparation" of the Gospel of
Peace; it also has the meaning of firm footing (foundation), as in the Sept
Daniel - ...
He had a series of prophetic visions vouch-safed to him which opened up the prospect of a glorious future for the people of God, and must have imparted
Peace and gladness to his spirit in his old age as he waited on at his post till the "end of the days
Church of England - Wake, archbishop of Canterbury, formed a project of

Matthew 11:28)
Heraldry, Ecclesiastical - A large number of ecclesiastical coats of arms are based upon the figures and effigies of patron saints and the oval cartouche was often substituted by supposedly
Peace-loving ecclesiastics for the shield which is the ordinary vehicle of a coat of arms but is essentially a military institution
Sow (Verb) - The growth and the enterprise of the nation of Israel will bring

Refuge - "In almost every Indian nation," says Adair, "there are several
Peaceable towns which are called old, beloved, ancient, holy, or white towns: (white being their fixed emblem of
Peace, friendship, prosperity, happiness, purity, &c:) they seem to have been formerly towns of refuge; for it is not in the memory of their oldest people that ever human blood was shed in them, although they often force persons from thence, and put them to death elsewhere

Peace normally characterize both
Pentecost, Feast of - Two leavened loaves of wheaten flour were waved before the Lord; two yearling lambs were also waved as a
Peace-offering; seven lambs, one bullock, and two rams were offered as a burnt-offering, and one kid of the goats as a sin-offering (

Onesimus - How truly blessed doth the epistle open, after subscribing himself as the prisoner of the Lord, in praying that grace and

Peace with the emperor, binding them with an oath to do their best in his behalf and to return without delay to Italy

Peace, it is becoming for you as a church of God, to appoint a deacon to go thither as God’s ambassador, that he may congratulate them when they are assembled together, and may glorify the Name’ (Philad. He writes to Polycarp: ‘Seeing that the church which is in Antioch of Syria hath
Peace, as it hath been reported to me, through your prayers, I myself also have been the more comforted since God hath banished my care’ (vii. To the Smyrnaeans he is even more explicit: ‘It is meet that your church should appoint, for the honour of God, an ambassador of God that he may go as far as Syria and congratulate them because they are at
Peace, and have recovered their proper stature, and their proper bulk hath been restored to them’ (τὸ ἴδιον σωματεῖον; xi. If it were a question of a persecution limited to Antioch, it would not be very clear how
Peace could have restored its stature to the Church of Antioch, i. We are, then, led to suppose that it is not
Peace after persecution but
Peace after discord that is meant
Atonement -
Colossians 1:20 ‘having made
Peace through the blood of his cross’). Up to the Exodus, we have only the generic type of the burnt-offering; the Exodus itself gave birth to the Passover, in which blood sprinkled gave protection from destruction; at the ratification of the Covenant,
Peace-offerings appear with burnt-offerings (
Exodus 20:24 ;
Exodus 24:5 ); finally, the Levitical ritual provided a cultus in which the idea of atonement had a leading place. It is to be noted generally that the animal sacrifices were of four kinds the burnt-offering, the sin-offering, the guilt-offering (a species of sin-offering which included a money-compensation to the person injured), the
Peace-offering. The burnt-offering was wholly consumed; in the case of the
Peace-offering a feast was held with part of the flesh. ...
The design of all these sacrifices (even of the
Peace-offering, as features of the ritual show) was ‘to make atonement’ for the sin of the offerer, or of the congregation (
Leviticus 1:4 ;
Leviticus 4:20 ;
Leviticus 4:26 ;

Canaan - Sidon, Area, Arvad, and Zemara or Simra (
Genesis 15:19-21) originally were Canaanite; afterward they fell under the Phoenicians, who were immigrants into Syria from the shores of the Persian gulf,
Peaceable traffickers, skillful in navigation and the arts, and unwar-like except by sea. ...
With these the Israelites were on friendly terms; but with the Canaanites fierce and war-like, having chariots of iron, Israel was commanded never to be at
Peace, but utterly to root them out; not however the Arvadite. sent three letters to the Canaanites, before the Israelites invaded it, proposing three things: Let those who choose to fly, fly; let those who choose
Peace, enter into treaty; let those who choose war, take up arms. The Israelites, in approaching the cities of the seven doomed nations, were to offer
Peace on condition of their emigrating forever from their own country, or else renouncing idolatry, embracing the Noachian patriarchal religion, resigning their land and nationality, and becoming slaves. But "there was not a city that made
Peace with the children of Israel save the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon; all other they took in battle
Blessing (2) - ]'>[10] The characteristic word employed in greeting and farewell is ‘peace’ (Heb. ]'>[11] Thus the regular formula of greeting is ‘Peace be to thee’ (
Judges 6:23, Daniel 10:19), and, for farewell, ‘Go in
Peace’ (cf. ‘To greet’ is expressed in Hebrew by the phrase ‘to ask of a person concerning
Peace (welfare)’ (cf
Rome And the Roman Empire - These were
Peaceful provinces requiring no unusual military presence. Many ancient cults were revived, further accentuating the time-honored view that the
Peace and prosperity of the republic was dependent upon the proper observance of religious duty. The pax Romana (peace of Rome) which Augustus had inaugurated was preserved, providing easy, safe travel throughout the empire. ...
The success of the Roman Empire depended upon the ability of the legions to keep
Peace throughout the world
Priest, Priesthood - The ritual procedure itself involved splashing the blood of the burnt and
Peace offerings (v. There is a striking similarity between this ritual in Exodus 24 and the consecration of the Aaronic priests by putting some of the blood of the ordination
Peace offering on the right ear, thumb, and big toe of Aaron and his sons, and afterwards splashing some of it around on the altar (
Exodus 29:20 ;
Leviticus 8:23-24 ). ...
Finally, the cult granted the entire nation the privilege of eating at the Lord's table on regular occasions in accordance with the
Peace offering regulations in Leviticus 3,7:11-34
the Samaritan Who Shewed Mercy - ...
And now, my brethren, is it not a cause of the profoundest praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God that
Peace has come, and that there is not a man on the face of the whole earth that we any more wish to see wounded and half-dead? And must it not be a sweet thing to our King to think about on his bed, and to all his Royal House, that he has no enemy now to his throne and sceptre and crown in all the wide world. And that is so, because He, The Good Samaritan, is our
Peace, Who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us: having abolished in His flesh the enmity; for to make in Himself of twain one new man, so making
Peace
Thomas - "Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them,
Peace be unto you. For he thereby lost the first and best sight of his risen Master, and His first and best benediction of
Peace. "Then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said,
Peace be unto you
Nativity of Christ - Satiated with victory, the first emperors abandoned all thoughts of new conquests;
Peace, an unknown blessing, was enjoyed through all that vast empire; or if a slight war was waged on an outlying and barbarous frontier, far from disturbing the tranquillity, it scarcely drew the attention of mankind. The disciples of Christ, thus favoured by the union and
Peace of the Roman empire, executed their commission with great advantage
Providence - , establishing a regular police everywhere, and the universal
Peace which prevailed at the coming of the gospel of
Peace; the multiplication and settling of Jews in Egypt, Asia, Greece, Italy, and western Europe (Horace, Sat
Thessalonians, Epistles to the - The apostle commends them to the Lord of
Peace to give them
Peace always by all means, and that He might be with them
Solomon - He enjoyed a profound
Peace throughout his dominions; Judah and Israel lived in security; and his neighbours either paid him tribute, or were his allies; he ruled over all the countries and kingdoms from the Euphrates to the Nile, and his dominions extended even beyond the former; he had abundance of horses and chariots of war; he exceeded the orientals, and all the Egyptians, in wisdom and prudence; he was the wisest of mankind, and his reputation was spread through all nations. On this day the king caused to be sacrificed twenty-two thousand oxen, and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep for
Peace-offerings
Sadducees - It was not until His popularity seemed to threaten the
Peace of Jerusalem that the high priest, with the Sadducees at his back, was moved to decisive action
Delight - God's
Peace rests upon those in whom he delights (
Luke 2:14 ), and God works in those destined for salvation according to his good pleasure (
Philippians 2:13 )
Funeral, Rites - They made a funeral oration at the grave, after which they prayed; then turning the fear of the deceased towards heaven, they said, "Go in
Peace
Candlestick - In the second temple, namely, Zerubbabel's, a single candlestick was again placed (
Zechariah 4:2-6;
Zechariah 4:11), taken by Titus from the temple as restored by Herod, and carried in his triumph at Rome and deposited in the Temple of
Peace
Tithes - Jacob after his Bethel vision vowed a tenth of all that God gave him, should God be with and keep him, and give him bread and raiment, and bring him again to his father's house in
Peace (
Genesis 28:20-22)
Joy - God's kingdom is described as "righteousness,
Peace and joy" (
Romans 14:17 )
Rest - This rest of
Peaceful living was granted by God as the people looked to him alone and sought to keep his covenant. It is the sense of security and
Peace that flows from a right relation with God, the Father, through obedience to his Son, the Messiah, and membership in his kingdom
Fruit - ...
To aid Christians in their walk before the Lord, God-given wisdom is made available to them, wisdom whose "fruit is better than fine gold" (
Proverbs 8:19 ), and the Holy Spirit develops within Christians the fruit of "love, joy,
Peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control" (
Galatians 5:22-23 )
Fullness - Moses' reference to the "best gifts of the earth and its fullness" may anticipate spiritual blessings such as
Peace and joy, which come from God himself
Solitude - The abbot Allois sums up their teaching in his deeply suggestive word, ‘Except a man say in his heart, “I and God are alone in the world,” he cannot have
Peace’ (Verba Seniorum, ap
Basilius of Ancyra, Bishop of Ancyra - When he reproved Constantius for unduly favouring them, the emperor bid him hold his
Peace, and charged him with being himself the cause of the dissensions that were agitating the church (Theod
Lamp - He guides the feet in the way of
Peace
Mediator - The plan of salvation, therefore, by such a Mediator, is the most suitable to human beings that possibly could be; for here "Mercy and truth meet together, righteousness and
Peace kiss each other
Come Up, Ascend - Joseph told his brothers to “go up” to their father in
Peace (
Father - On the other hand, one of the Messiah’s enthronement names is “Eternal Father”: “… And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of
Peace” (
Micah, Book of - The people will be judged in righteousness; and there will be
Peace, safety, and plenty
Barrenness - Then did the wife forget her jealousy, and provoke, instead of resenting, the faithlessness of her husband,
Numbers 25:1-35 ;
Genesis 30:3 ;
Genesis 30:9 ; then did the mother forget a parent's part, and teach her own child treachery and deceit,
Genesis 25:23 ;
Genesis 27:13 ; then did daughters turn the instincts of nature backward, and deliberately work their own and their father's shame,
Genesis 19:31 ; then did the daughter-in-law veil her face, and court the incestuous bed,
Genesis 38:14 ; and to be childless, was to be a by- word,
Genesis 16:5 ;
Genesis 30:1 ; and to refuse to raise up seed to a brother, was to be spit upon,
Genesis 38:26 ;
Deuteronomy 25:9 ; and the prospect of the promise, like the fulfilment of it, did not send
Peace into families, but a sword; and three were set against two, and two against three,
Genesis 27:41 ; and the elder, who would be promoted unto honour, was set against the younger, whom God would promote,
Genesis 4:5 ;
Genesis 27:41 ; and national differences were engendered by it, as individuals grew into nations,
Genesis 19:37 ;
Genesis 26:35 ; and even the foulest of idolatries may be traced, perhaps, to this hallowed source; for the corruption of the best is the worst corruption of all, 1618650209_82
Veil - Pitts informs us that in Barbary the courtezan appears in public without her veil; and, in
Proverbs 7:13-14 , the harlot exposes herself in the same indecent manner: "So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face," a face uncovered and shameless, "said unto him, I have
Peace-offerings with me, this day have I paid my vows
War - ...
As the influence of Christianity diffuses itself in the world, war is becoming less excusable and less practicable; and a great advance may be observed from the customs and spirit of ancient barbarism towards the promised universal supremacy of the Prince of
Peace,
Psalm 46:9 Isaiah 2:4 Micah 4:3
Charge - To give directions to to instruct authoritatively as, the judge charged the grand jury to inquire respecting breaches of the
Peace
Sacrament of Penance - Penance also confers a claim to actual graces necessary to retain God's friendship; frequently, too, it gives
Peace of conscience and joy of spirit
Germany - Henry IV was at length obliged to go to Canossa to make
Peace with the pope whose opposition he dared not risk, and his attempt at schism was concluded by the Concordat of Worms in 1122, recognizing investiture as the right of the Church
Pisidia - ...
‘The newly-founded towns remained indeed unimportant, but still notably restricted the field of the free inhabitants of the mountains, and general
Peace must at length have made its triumphal entrance also here’ (T
Joshua the Son of Nun - ...
Joshua then attacked to the south, but the people of Gibeon saved themselves by tricking the Israelites into making a
Peace treaty with them
Arius, Followers of - Constantius summoned Athanasius to his presence, and after a friendly interview dismissed him, and wrote three letters, one to the bishops and clergy in Egypt, one to the laity, and one to the governors of provinces, explaining that it was his will that Athanasius should be allowed to return in
Peace to his flock. ...
Peace was thus restored for the moment, but it endured only so long as Constantius was occupied with foreign war and intestine strife. But permanent
Peace was impossible until the questions at issue had been fully threshed out. Before the death of Jovian (364), Acacias of Caesarea, who cannot be acquitted of being an unworthy intriguer or at best a time-server, came forward to make his
Peace by accepting the Nicene formula. The cause of genuine, practical Christianity suffered seriously under these divisions, intrigues, and acts of violence, and men of earnest and even indifferent minds were longing for
Peace
John, the Gospel by - He left them
Peace, and gave them His own
Peace. The Lord spoke these things to them that in Him they might have
Peace, whereas in the world they should have tribulation. He brought
Peace to them, assuring them that He was in very deed the same who had been pierced and nailed to the cross. He then gave them their commission: "As the Father sent me forth, I also send you," again pronouncing
Peace
Temple - the head of the Temple police (στρατηγὸς τοῦ ἱεροῦ) and the Sadducees (
Acts 4:1); and, if their freedom of speech was somewhat curtailed, this was not because of their attitude to the Temple and its services, which was evidently quite correct, but simply because they were said to be exciting the multitude and disturbing the
Peace. Paul as a profaner of the Temple, and the Romans arrested him as a disturber of the
Peace
Hospitality - God graciously received the alienated Israelites and met their needs, redeeming them from Egypt and feeding and clothing them in the wilderness (Exodus 16 ;
Deuteronomy 8:2-5 ), bringing them as sojourners into God's own land (
Leviticus 25:23 ), where God offered them health, long life,
Peace, and fertility (Deuteronomy 11 ). In a figurative sense, table fellowship is offered during meals of
Peace offerings and religious feasts where part of the sacrifice is offered to God and the rest is eaten by the sacrificer or community (
Leviticus 7:11-18 ;
23Psalm 23:5;
Proverbs 9:1-6 ;
Isaiah 25:6 )
Mediator, Mediation - They also use mediators to argue a case or to negotiate terms of
Peace with a hostile party, as Moses did with Pharaoh on behalf of Israel (
Exodus 6:28-12:32 ) and Joab did with David on behalf of Absalom (
2 Samuel 14:1-24 ). ...
Paul echoes the new covenant language of the Old Testament when he tells us that believers have
Peace with God (
Romans 5:1 ), have experienced the outpouring of God's love in their hearts through the Holy Spirit (
Romans 5:5 ), and have been reconciled to God (
Romans 5:10-11 ; cf
Euric, King of Toulouse - 369), to treat for
Peace. 7, for his invectives against the
Peace—"Pudeat vos hujus foederis, nec utilis nec decori!"), having vainly attempted to make favourable terms for the Catholics with Euric, was banished to Livia, near Narbonne (Sid
Sacrifice -
Peace-offerings: these were offered in the fulfillment of vows, to return thanks to God for benefits, (thank-offerings,) or to satisfy private devotion, (freewill-offerings. The
Peace offering signified expiation of sin, and thus reconciliation with God, and holy communion with him and with his people
Neighbour (2) - It is those whose whole lives make for
Peace—the
Peace that springs not from indifference but from love—who shall be called the children of God (
Matthew 5:9)
Theodoretus, Bishop of Cyrrhus - He was, however, precluded from accepting the terms of
Peace which John and others were increasingly inclined to acquiesce in, by the demand that he should anathematize the doctrine of Nestorius and Nestorius himself. ), the Orientals were divided into two great parties: the
Peace-seeking majority, with John of Antioch and the venerable Acacius at their head, ready to meet Cyril half-way; the violent party of irreconcilables, with Alexander of Hierapolis as their leader, opposed to all reconciliation as treason to the truth; while a third or middle party was led by Theodoret and Andrew of Samosata, anxious for
Peace, but on terms of their own. Though still holding back from reconciliation with Cyril, he was virtually the means of bringing about the long-desired
Peace. John, now hopeless of
Peace otherwise, applied to the secular power. " These accusations were accepted at court, and Dioscorus obtained an imperial edict (dated by Tillemont Mar 30, 449) that as a disturber of the
Peace of the church Theodoret should keep to his own diocese
Enoch - Took William Law to my heart and read in him for the thousandth time his two golden chapters showing, How all orders and all ranks of men and women of all ages are obliged to devote themselves to God; as, also, How great devotion to God fills our lives with the greatest
Peace and happiness that can be enjoyed in this world. To hold your
Peace when you are reproved is a direct and sure step toward God. And though his family, and his friends, and his enemies did not know so much as the very name of the fruit of the Spirit, they all ate and drank that fruit in Enoch's walk and conversation; for the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
Peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, and such like
Painting, Religious - The cloister offered an ideal atmosphere of
Peace and leisure for fostering artistic talent, and the illumination of Bible or missal led naturally, in the case of the gifted, to the decoration of church or monastery walls
Hittites - Rameses fought a great battle with them there, and afterwards made a treaty of
Peace with them (Breasted, op
Rome - The civil wars, which during the last century of its existence had almost destroyed it, had shown clearly that
Peace could be reached only under the rule of one man

Heart - when a person is judicially hardened, he makes use of indirect and unwarrantable methods to maintain that false
Peace which he thinks himself happy in the enjoyment of; but a believer, when complaining of the hardness of his heart, cannot be satisfied with any thing short of Christ,

Helladius, Bishop of Tarsus - When the rival leaders sought
Peace, Helladius kept aloof, and on the receipt of the six articles drawn up by John at a council at Antioch, which ultimately opened the way for reconcilation, he and Alexander of Hierapolis rejected the terms and all communion with Cyril
Blessedness (2) - The main qualities designated and praised are meekness, purity, tenderness of heart,
Peaceableness, faith, patience, contrition, qualities which have no sooner been named than we are reminded of such lists of the fruits of the Spirit as we find in
Galatians 5:22-23 or
Ephesians 4:30-32. As Titius puts it, ‘Over every saying of Jesus may be written the inscription, “Concerning the kingdom of God” ’ These sayings, then, reveal the nature of the kingdom in its twofold aspect as an inward, spiritual, present reality which exists, progresses, suffers, is in perpetual conflict; and, as a great future fulfilment, when conflict shall turn to
Peace, failure to victory, suffering to reward, and the inward desire and the outward attainment be one in the presence of perfected power

Peace
Theodotus, Martyr at Ancyra - They speak of the chapel erected to the memory of Theodotus, which could only have been done when
Peace was restored to the church
Eschatology - They argue that many prophecies regarding Israel—such as the rebuilding of the Jerusalem Temple, the rule of a Davidic king over a universal, earthly realm of
Peace—have not yet been fulfilled. In general sense, amillennialism can refer to everyone who interprets all language about a final, earthly realm of
Peace in a spiritual manner. More specifically, they expected God, first, to judge and defeat His enemies; second, to rescue His people and raise the righteous dead; and third, to inaugurate the “new Age” of life and
Peace through the Spirit. ...
Third, the early Christian community discovered that the “new Age” of life and
Peace had “already” begun among them through the outpouring of God's Spirit
Wisdom of Solomon - ‘Moreover this was not enough for them that they erred in the knowledge of God; but whereas they live in a great war of ignorance, they call such great evils
Peace’ (τὰ τοσαῦτα κακὰ εἰρήνην προσαγορεύουσιν). It is certain that the Greek word εἰρήνη is not a name for any idolatrous system; but the Hebrew phrase ‘to call
Peace to’ (-,
Judges 21:13; cf.
Deuteronomy 20:10) means not to designate by the name ‘peace,’ but to invite to
Peace, or offer friendship to; and this is what the phrase appears to signify in the passage cited, since the justification of the proposition in what follows is that the idolaters keep on perpetrating various atrocities
Vespasian - As a sign of universal
Peace the temple of Janus was closed, and the building of a Temple of
Peace begun. In 75 the Temple of
Peace, begun in 71, was completed and opened. In the same year Vologaesus adopted a hostile attitude to Rome, but was compelled to ask for
Peace
Absolution - ‘Jesus therefore said to them again,
Peace be unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you. ’ It is admitted that ‘perfect sorrow for sin without addition of external rite blots out the stains, and restores the
Peace of God in the soul’; yet this perfect sorrow involves in a well-instructed Catholic the intention of confessing and receiving the priest’s absolution when opportunity offers. Protestants truly penitent may indeed receive the
Peace of God, because this desire of confession may be regarded as implicit in them. Confession was not made compulsory: it was a free opportunity that might be used in ease of sins about which the penitent could not otherwise attain to
