Psalms 16:11 > God will “Show me the path of life: in His presence is fullness of joy…” Titus 2:13-14, We are now “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ [Prince of Peace]; who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity
-
Genesis 3:15 > God speaking to Satan in the Garden of Eden: “And I will put enmity [conflict] between you and the woman [who gave birth to Jesus Christ, Son of God], and between your seed [the future AntiChrist] and her seed [Jesus Christ, Son of God]; He [Jesus, Son of God] shall bruise your head, and you [Satan] shall bruise His heel.” This is the very first Bible prophecy in the Holy Bible.
-
John 3:16 > “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son [Jesus Christ, Son of God and Prince of Peace], that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” This is a fulfillment of Genesis 3:15. Jesus Christ is the true Prince of Peace and He will someday bring everlasting peace to all nations on earth. He will “bruise” the “head” of Satan and make Satan powerless on earth forever.
-
Genesis 12:2-3 > God’s everlasting covenant with Abraham. “I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great;… I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you [Abraham, Father of Israel] all the families of the earth [in all nations on earth] shall be blessed.” This great everlasting covenant, from our Heavenly Father, will be accomplished through Jesus Christ, Son of God and Prince of Peace. He is the true Messiah of Israel and today our Lord Jesus Christ now has all power in heaven and on earth.
-
Matthew 28:18 > Jesus said, “All power is given unto me [by my Heavenly Father] in heaven and in earth.”
-
I Corinthians 15:24 > “Then comes the end [of Satan’s kingdom on earth], when He [Jesus Christ, Prince of Peace] delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He [our Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God] puts an end to all [of Satan’s evil] rule and all authority and power.”
-
Luke 1:79 > There is only one who has the power to give peace to all nations, Jesus Christ, Prince of Peace. As promised Jesus will “… guide our feet into the way of peace.” – Everlasting peace on earth!
-
Isaiah 9:6 gives us Bible prophecy, which was fulfilled at the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God and “Prince of Peace”: “For unto us a child is born [Jesus Christ], unto us a son is given [Son of God]: and the government [of all nations] shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
-
Luke 2:13-14 > At the birth of Jesus Christ, Son of God, “…suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and ON EARTH PEACE, good will toward men.” Baby Jesus was officially pronounced as Prince of Peace – the one who would someday bring peace to all nations on earth. Can you say “Hallelujah” along with all of heaven’s holy and powerful angels?
-
John 3:17 > “For God sent not his Son [Jesus Christ] into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” God loves us and wants to give us peace, joy and everlasting happiness.
-
I John 3:8 > “He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God [Jesus Christ] was manifested [sent to earth to redeem us from sin], that He might destroy the works of the devil.” What exactly are God’s plans, according to His Word, for bringing everlasting peace on earth?
-
Revelation 3:10 > Jesus, Prince of Peace, said, “Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation [7-years of Great Tribulation, as described in the Book of Revelation], which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.” Through the future Rapture of the Church, all true Christians will, “in the twinkling of an eye”, be “caught up” to “meet the Lord in the air” – as taught in I Thessalonians 4:17 – “…and so shall we ever be with the Lord [Jesus Christ].”
-
Luke 21:36 > Jesus taught us to “Watch…and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass [during the future 7-years of Great Tribulation], and to stand before the Son of man [Jesus Christ, Son of God]” – in His kingdom.
-
Matthew 10:34 > Jesus, Prince of Peace, said, “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.” In the days of Noah, God sent a flood to destroy all sin and sinners on earth. Jesus knew that once again the sin-issue on earth must be destroyed and defeated – prior to having true and everlasting peace on earth in all nations. His “sword” of judgment will be used in “the days of vengeance” [Luke 21:22 and Romans 12:19] to destroy all evil and initiate world peace.
-
Matthew 24:21 > Jesus Christ, Prince of Peace, knows the future – everything! Concerning the future 7-year Great Tribulation, He said, “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.” The world has never seen devastation such as will be seen when God will pours out His anger and “vengeance” on the future kingdom of the antichrist. The antichrist and all evil will be defeated by Jesus Christ, Prince of Peace, at His 2nd Coming at the future Battle of Armageddon – following the 7-years of Great Tribulation [Revelation 16:16].
-
All of heaven’s army (saints and angels) will return to earth with Jesus Christ, Prince of Peace, to defeat the army of the antichrist [Revelation 19:14]; at that time the antichrist and false prophet will be sent to the Lake of Fire. Revelation 19:20 confirms, “These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.” Additionally, Satan himself will be powerless on earth for 1,000 years. Revelation 20:1-3 confirms, “And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the Bottomless Pit and [he had] a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years should be fulfilled.” Earth cannot have lasting peace with the presence of Satan.
-
Jesus and all of the heavenly saints will ride literal white, heavenly horses. Revelation 19:16 describes the Prince of Peace, “And He [Jesus, Son of God] hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”
-
Immediately following the Battle of Armageddon, our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, the Son of God, will initiate and launch the Whirlwind Judgment of the Nations on earth. God says, in Isaiah 13:11, “And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity.” Jesus called it the separation of the “sheep” (righteous people on earth) and the “goats” (evil people on earth). In Matthew 25:32, Jesus teaches, “And before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats…” [Some Bible references for the futuristic Whirlwind Judgment of the Nations: Jeremiah 25:31-33; Jeremiah 30:23; Isaiah 66:15-16; and, Psalms 58:9]. This judgment from God is used by God to determine who will be worthy to enter into the 1,000 millennium of PEACE with our Lord Jesus Christ, King of kings, and Prince of Peace.
-
PEACE on EARTH at last! Following the future Battle of Armageddon and God’s Whirlwind Judgment of the Nations, Daniel 7:18 says, “But the saints of the most High [God, our Heavenly Father] shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.” Jesus will reign as Prince of Peace over all nations on earth. Revelation 2:27 teaches, “He [Jesus, Prince of Peace] shall rule them [all nations on earth] with a rod of iron.” In Revelation 2:26, Jesus promises His church, “And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end [of the evil on earth], to him will I give power over the nations…” [Also, see Daniel 7:27]
-
Israel will be restored and will be the head of all nations – as promised in God’s Covenant to Abraham. Read the prophecy, which God showed Ezekiel (chapter 37) in a cemetery filled with the bones of the people of Israel. In Ezekiel 37:14, God promised Israel that He would, “…put my Spirit in you and you shall live, and I shall place you in your own land.” [also, see Matthew 24:31 and Isaiah 11:12 where God will send His angels at the sounding of a “trumpet” and will gather Israel from all nations on earth where they have been scattered for many years]
-
God will build a literal highway from Egypt; to Israel; and, onward into Syria. Why? What is the purpose of this highway? Isaiah 11:16 teaches, “And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he [Israel] came up out of the land of Egypt [from slavery when God delivered them]. Isaiah 19:23 continues, “In that day [of the Prince of Peace, Messiah of Israel, Jesus Christ] shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.” Yes, these nations will be friends at that time.

Can you envision all nations on earth living in a perfect environment of peace with absolutely no warfare anywhere on earth? Today, many 100's are killed every week in many nations in constant conflict of war. Nations such as Iran have vowed to destroy Israel and all Jews. We could list many wars in the past 100 years and the names of many 1,000's who died in wars around the world. Why does the God of Abraham allow such warfare on this earth that He has created for His glory? The answer is in the Holy Bible. The God of Abraham is a "God of Peace" and He has promised a specific time in which all nations will have peace and happiness. Not all news is depressing! There is the good news of the Kingdom of God. In Luke 9:60, Jesus said, "Go, Preach the Kingdom of God" -- good news of God's plans for the future. May we all keep our faith in God and His Word. All that He has spoken in His Word "shall come to pass" in God's own appointed time. If you'll read our book, "Peace on Earth, Millennium of King Jesus", we know that the many Bible scriptures in the book will open your understanding and give you much encouragement. May our Heavenly Father and King Jesus, Son of God, give you everlasting peace. Shalom...

Peace/Shalom To All
It is such a great honor to have such a great board of directors and officers with the Peace on Earth IEA outreach ministry. And, we are all thankful for the dedicated ministry representatives who train pastors and churches monthly in our many scheduled conferences in Africa and India. Jesus said, "Go preach the kingdom of God" in Luke 9:60. If you'll read our book, filled with inspirational Bible prophecy, you will see how God will someday set up His kingdom on earth and His will shall be accomplished on earth "as it is in heaven". We do not charge any pastors or people for attending our conferences. This is a "Faith in God" outreach ministry and we thank God that more than 300 decisions for Christ have been reported, on the average, every week, for the past three years. To God be all praise, glory and honor. Please keep the ministry in your prayers and pray about supporting our very dedicated team of representatives.
