What ever happened to “disturbing the peace”? Minneapolis protests make a lot of noise. What if they gave fines to anyone disturbing the peace? Horns honking, whistles blowing, banging on pans, cursing, and amplified bull horns does not sound peaceful. Regardless of the cause of the day, shouldn’t the police enforce noise ordinances? Our traditional laws and guidelines have been unenforced to such a degree that we really don’t have laws anymore. Lawlessness is threatening our peace. A simple noise ordinance enforced would go a long way in returning peace to our streets.
“Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.” Matthew 23:28 “And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.” Matthew 24:12
These are the words of Jesus. Virtue signaling is revealed by the lawlessness that is part of the package. Our constitution guarantees the right of peaceful assembly, but when you remove the peaceful part you step into lawlessness. Civil disobedience is accepted but submits to arrest and consequences. Today’s “protestors” are rebellious rioters and violators of the peace. But there is a further point here. Disturbing the peace is also an attack on the spiritual promises of peace given by God. He promises perfect peace.
“Open the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in. You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. Trust in Yehovah forever, For in YAH, Yehovah, is everlasting strength.” Isaiah 26:2-4
The phrase “perfect peace” in English is quite revealing in the original Hebrew. It is shalom, shalom! The word shalom is repeated. The English translators chose to render it as “perfect peace.” I like to think of it as shalom squared or shalom times shalom. Either way, it is an extraordinary peace. When our culture breaks down into lawlessness, many are disturbed and may even lose their peace out of fear and confusion. But our God promised us His perfect peace even in the storms of life. It is known by believers as a supernatural calm or peace even in hard times. Doreen and I experienced that peace when our house burned down in 2001.
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
I have my own paraphrase of peace that surpasses understanding. I call it peace that doesn’t make sense. When the circumstances justify losing it, but you have this inner calm, this knowing that God is with you no matter what. Logically you should freak out, but the Holy Spirit of God says: “It will be okay. I saw this coming, and I have a plan for you!” Hallelujah! I hope you have found this peace in the Messiah Yeshua.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and especially for our leaders to hear from God, have courage, and do the right thing regarding Iran.

(This post is quoted from an Israeli Analyst,
The attention of the nations is directed to Jerusalem more than ever. Yet Yehovah God sits enthroned in the heavens above man’s petty plans. Man sees wars, religion, economic trade, political controversy and just problems in general. But above this God has a purpose from before creation to raise up a people and a nation for His own name. He chose them for blessing, not only for themselves, but for the nations. The enemy has fought against His plan from the Garden of Eden. Will Satan win? Of course not! Through all this God has been calling and reaching out to humans to enter into relationship with Him. Therefore He will not give up. He will protect His investment. This is what He says in Scripture.













































Last Nation Standing
12 02 2026Prime Minister Netanyahu had a quick visit in DC yesterday and cancelled his return visit next week. He will now speak to AIPAC remotely. We are likely on cusp of the major defeat of Iran’s Islamic regime at the hands of America and Israel. This fits into God’s plan and His revealed purpose. My friend Ken Schulte shared this verse with me this morning. Consider its profound meaning.
“But do not fear, O My servant Jacob, and do not be dismayed, O Israel! For behold, I will save you from afar, and your offspring from the land of their captivity; Jacob shall return, have rest and be at ease; No one shall make him afraid. Do not fear, O Jacob My servant,” says Yehovah, “For I am with you; for I will make a complete end of all the nations to which I have driven you, But I will not make a complete end of you. I will rightly correct you, for I will not leave you wholly unpunished.” Jeremiah 46:27-28
God will make an end of the nations but not Israel, even though they will face correction. I don’t know about you, but I’m going to stand with God who stands with Israel. For some unknown reason I have had over 140 views this week of a post that I wrote in 2012 in which I quoted Amos 9. It goes right along with Jeremiah’s word.
“Behold, the days are coming,” says Yehovah, “When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows seed; the mountains shall drip with sweet wine, And all the hills shall flow with it. I will bring back the captives of My people Israel; They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them; They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them. I will plant them in their land, and no longer shall they be pulled up from the land I have given them,” Says Yehovah your God. Amos 9:14-15.
NO LONGER shall they be pulled up from the THEIR LAND that God gave them! Yes, they have been exiled and returned numerous times in history, but the time comes when they will never again be uprooted. All nations rise and fall but Israel is eternal! Israel is the real deal. Are they perfect? Of course not. That is why God says He will correct them rightly or justly. But they will stand! I especially like this ESV translation of Amos 9.
“I will plant them on their land, and they shall never again be uprooted out of the land that I have given them,” says Yehovah your God.” Amos 9:15 ESV
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
