"The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet." Romans 16:20Isn't that a shocking statement? How can He be called the God of PEACE if he will "crush" anything. Violence is contradictory to peace, is it not? Or is it? If we look forward in the Biblical timeline, we will see that Christ will reign for 1000 years on Earth. This will be an unparalleled time of peace. BUT, this will happen only as he violently takes captive the enemy of our souls.
God IS a god of peace, AND he will use war to secure it.
