“And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you are not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.”
Matthew 24:6-8
There has been A LOT of talk about peace lately. The year 2025 opened with President Trump stating ‘My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker‘ during his inauguration speech. The newly elected Pope themed his first international trip ‘Blessed are the peacemakers‘ while in Turkey and Lebanon.
“Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.”
Matthew 5:9
In the Bible, there are the peacemakers spoken of by Jesus. But, there are also those who do not know the way of peace.
“Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths. The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goes therein shall not know peace.”
Isaiah 59:7-8
Let’s discern if these leaders are peacemakers serving God or going in ways that will never bring peace.
…“Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serves God and him that serves him not.”
Malachi 3:18

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.”
Matthew 24:6-8
