10For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue
from evil and his lips from deceitful speech. 11He must turn from evil
and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it. 12For the eyes of the
Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer,
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."  1 Peter
3:10-12


"The months are leading down to a final conflict. The scenery will
change.  For indeed peace is now something that is sought in the
world; but man does not seek peace. His primary instinct is to rule.
You find this in the kingdoms of this world. For they battle for land
and resources.  They search out for more weaponry.

All have been plagued by the economic upheaval that has come. For it
has toppled businesses, individuals, and nations alike. But in spite
of this, man still wars with his neighbor.  He wants what he does not
have. He desires more and more of the world's goods.

So, a time will come very soon, when the stage will be set for the
figure who sets himself up like me.  He will promise peace.  He will
promise much with the flattery of his tongue.  But woe to those who
fall under his spell.  Watch for him, for suddenly he will come upon
the scene.  But my people, I will give you great discernment of heart
to what is in him.

Even though the world does not have peace, you can find it by abiding
with me. Seek peace and pursue it. Let it rule in your hearts and
minds. "
