I agree in that the day will come when we will finally have peace when the prince of peace will return and we will rule and reign with him but even before the new heaven and new earth the bible predicts we will have conflict. In a conflict someone is right and someone is wrong. The bible says the Satan will be released from the bottomless pit to once again decieve the peoples of the earth and that will lead to the final conflict of the battle of Gog and Magog. I would love it if everyone would do as Jesus said in the sermon on the mount but unfortunately as long as the devil is on the loose and people choose to follow his plan there will be no peace until the Lord brings an end to it all and slay the wicked with the brightness of his coming and with the sword of his mouth. I do very much appreciate your opinion David Id thanks for sharing your thoughts here.
