“Jireh (*Yireh)-shalom” or “Jerusalem” was never an actual, physical, geographical city, but a Person; even both, The Provider & The Provision (Himself) 0f Peace! “And Abraham said, My son God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together (*Father and Son!),” and again, “For he is our peace, who hath made both (*natural Jew and natural Gentile) one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us (*between both, natural Jews and natural Gentiles)…” See how, if and when The Pure Gospel of The Lamb & His Finished Work is preached, all prejudice, bigotry, racism, animosity, hatred, hostility, war, and warfare… harbored within the wicked hearts of corrupt, vain, self-righteous men and women… is completely destroyed, annihilated?? But we don’t see that today, do we? Modern christianity has never heard The Pure Gospel of The Lamb & His Finished Work; much less, been possessed by The Gospel of The Cross of Christ. American churchianity worships the gifts, talents and abilities of men and women; along with “signs, wonders, healings and miracles”! But where is the love of our Father, dwelling in our hearts toward one another? In American churchianity, her myriad of false prophets and teachers corrupt the holy scriptures, and prophesy by Baal; worshiping money, “success” in the eyes of this present evil world, materialism, and the praise of men… or, to put it bluntly… “the American dream,” more like, “the American nightmare”. Yet dreams, nightmares, fiction, fantasies, fables have no substance; neither do most of us, anymore! “Eirene” is the Greek word used in the New Testament for “peace”; meaning, “to be one, oneness, to be joined, married, whole, wholeness, “whole-i-ness,” peace, quietness, tranquility, rest, to restore and make one again, whole again, complete, full, fullness.” “Eirene” implies “peace,” not only with God Himself; but also, with one another. The Lamb is our Peace!…
