"They Say "Peace, Peace" When There Is No Peace."
Reference: Jeremiah Chapter 6
There is no peace in the blood of the first Adam. It doesn't matter what the individual has or doesn't have, where they live, or what stage of life they are in. If the person is still living in the blood of the first Adam, they have no peace. They may greet each other with the word "shalom" or "salam," but inwardly there is no peace. They may sign peace treaties and design documents of peace among nations, but as long as the individual is in the blood of the first Adam, there is no peace. Because peace can only be found in the blood of the Second Adam, hence He is the Prince of Peace.
Let's read.
Jeremiah 6:1-8 "O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Beth–haccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction. [2] I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman. [3] The shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place. [4] Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out. [5] Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces. [6] For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her. [7] As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds. [8] Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited."
Whether in Jerusalem or Lesotho, where the Word of God is rejected, the individual is rejected. If it's a nation, the nation is rejected. Jerusalem rejected the Word of God. Israel has gone awhoring after other gods. They remained in the blood of the first Adam. God was pointing them to the ultimate second Adam, but they would not go His way. They would not go according to His Word, so they brought on themselves destruction. The absence of the Word of God is destruction. The Word of God is peace. Jesus Christ is this Word of God
We continue our reading.
Jeremiah 6:9-10 "Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets. [10] To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it."
A man or woman in the blood of the first Adam has an uncircumcised ear. It is a type of unbelief. They hear the Word, but they just don't believe it. The Word of God to them is a reproach. Jesus Christ is a reproach to the unbeliever.
We continue our reading.
Jeremiah 6:11-14 "Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days. [12] And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD. [13] For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. [14] They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace."
Peace was in the womb of Mary. Peace grew in the womb and was birthed out. He walked on earth.Isaiah introduced Him many years before His birth as the Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
There is no peace outside the blood of Prince of Peace.

Jeremiah 6:15-20 "Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD. [16] Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. [17] Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken. [18] Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them. [19] Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it. [20] To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me."
He is not looking for our sacrifice, our gift, our talent. He's looking for us to die out of the first Adam and resurrect in the second Adam through faith in His finished work on the cross.
We conclude our reading.
Jeremiah 6:21-30 "Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish. [22] Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth. [23] They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion. [24] We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail. [25] Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side. [26] O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us. [27] I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way. [28] They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters. [29] The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away. [30] Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them."
We reject the Word of God to our own destruction. The Word of God is life. Without the Word of God, there is no life. It's death.
Choose life. BELIEVE and confess Christ. The blood of God, as we reveal Him from the first Adam. There is peace only ,in Christ.!
