2 Chronicles 15:5-6
King James Version
5 And in those times there was no peace
to him that went out,
nor to him that came in,
but great vexations were upon
all the inhabitants of the countries.
6 And nation was destroyed of nation,
and city of city:
for God did vex them with all adversity.
How can nations have peace?
Why is there so much trouble?
You will find from these verses the reasons why.
And you will marvel that the solution had been there.
All along.
Nations can have peace.
Anytime GOD deems it.
Anytime we turn back to the LORD.
The Bible says so:
Deuteronomy 4:30-31
King James Version
30 When thou art in tribulation,
and all these things are come upon thee,
even in the latter days,
if thou turn to the Lord thy God,
and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
31 (For the Lord thy God is a merciful God;)
he will not forsake thee,
neither destroy thee,
nor forget the covenant of thy fathers
which he sware unto them.
Deuteronomy 30:1-3
King James Version
30 And it shall come to pass,
when all these things are come upon thee,
the blessing and the curse,
which I have set before thee,
and thou shalt call them to mind
among all the nations,
whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee,
2 And shalt return unto the Lord thy God,
and shalt obey his voice
according to all that I command thee this day,
thou and thy children,
with all thine heart,
and with all thy soul;
3 That then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity,
and have compassion upon thee,
and will return and gather thee from all the nations,
whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee.
1 Samuel 7:2-4
King James Version
2 And it came to pass,
while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim,
that the time was long;
for it was twenty years:
and all the house of Israel lamented after the Lord.
3 And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel,
saying,
If ye do return unto the Lord with all your hearts,
then put away the strange gods
and Ashtaroth from among you,
and prepare your hearts unto the Lord,
and serve him only:
and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
4 Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim
and Ashtaroth,
and served the Lord only.
2 Chronicles 15:3-4
King James Version
3 Now for a long season
Israel hath been without the true God,

did turn unto the Lord God of Israel,
and sought him,
he was found of them.
Nehemiah 1:8-9
King James Version
8 Remember, I beseech thee,
the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses,
saying,
If ye transgress,
I will scatter you abroad among the nations:
9 But if ye turn unto me,
and keep my commandments,
and do them;
though there were of you cast out
unto the uttermost part of the heaven,
yet will I gather them from thence,
and will bring them unto the place
that I have chosen to set my name there.

that the remnant of Israel,
and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob,
shall no more again stay upon him that smote them;
but shall stay upon the Lord,
the Holy One of Israel,
in truth.
21 The remnant shall return,
even the remnant of Jacob,
unto the mighty God.
22 For though thy people Israel
be as the sand of the sea,
yet a remnant of them shall return:
the consumption decreed
shall overflow with righteousness.
23 For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption,
even determined,
in the midst of all the land.
Isaiah 19:22-25
King James Version

and shall heal them.
23 In that day 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.
24 In that day shall Israel be the third
with Egypt and with Assyria,
even a blessing in the midst of the land:
25 Whom the Lord of hosts shall bless,
saying,
Blessed be Egypt my people,
and Assyria the work of my hands,
and Israel mine inheritance.

and he will have mercy upon him;
and to our God,
for he will abundantly pardon.
Isaiah 59:18-20
King James Version
18 According to their deeds,
accordingly he will repay,
fury to his adversaries,
recompence to his enemies;
to the islands he will repay recompence.
19 So shall they fear the name of the Lord
from the west,
and his glory from the rising of the sun.
When the enemy shall come in like a flood,
the Spirit of the Lord
shall lift up a standard against him.

and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob,
saith the Lord.

for I am merciful,
saith the Lord,
and I will not keep anger for ever.

under every green tree,

saith the Lord.

but return not thou unto them.
20 And I will make thee unto this people
a fenced brasen wall:
and they shall fight against thee,

saith the Lord God:
wherefore turn yourselves,
and live ye.

Man is a fool, thinking he can have peace without GOD.
How he has set aside GOD so!
GOD is peace.
Peace is GOD.
ALL come from GOD.
EVERYTHING belongs to GOD.
He has power over everything.
The prophets knew it.
For GOD spoke through them.
And how man tried to stifle that clean, clear, powerful voice.
Thus, the world is the way it is.
If you want peace now, then turn to GOD now.
