🕊️ When They Cry “Peace and Safety” — What Should the Church Do?

📖 1 Thessalonians 5:3 (KJV):

“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”

Now, look, that verse isn’t symbolic poetry — it’s a prophetic alert. It’s a Spiritual flare shot into the sky for every believer who’s paying attention.

🧭 Current Events Snapshot (as of July 2025):

• 🕊️ Middle East: The U.S. and its allies are actively negotiating what they're calling a "lasting framework of peace" between Israel and Arab neighbors. Major headlines whisper words like "historic," "unprecedented stability," and "diplomatic breakthrough."

  
  

• 💰 Economic Forecast: Conservative economic leaders are predicting a season of prosperity that could last 3 to 3½ years, hopefully a lot longer — sound familiar?

  
  

• 🇺🇸 America: Morally bruised, yet politically redirected. There's renewed optimism in the streets, but the battle for righteousness is far from over.

  
  

• 🗳️ Upcoming Election: Looms like a prophetic fork in the road. If re-elected, the former leadership will return to darkness, and the dam will break on the judgment withheld.

  
  

📡 What Does This Mean Prophetically?

• The Bible never told us to relax when peace breaks out — it told us to look up.

• False peace always precedes the unveiling of the Antichrist (Daniel 9:27, Revelation 6:1–2).

• A season of prosperity is often God's final call to repentance — not a stamp of approval (see Jeremiah 6:14 and Revelation 3:17–18).

  
  

So, is it wise to think Biblically and prophetically right now?

Not only is it wise — it’s mandatory for those of us who call ourselves children of the day and not of the night.

⚔️ What Should the Church Be Doing?

1. Look Up, Don’t Let Up

   Luke 21:28 — “And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

2. Preach with Urgency, Not Panic. This ain’t the time for sugar sermons and comfort Christianity. It’s time to preach repentance, readiness, and redemption.

3. Disciple the Next Generation The 18–25 crowd has to know this isn’t about gloom — it’s about glory. They're not being raised in just a new America — they're walking into the final pages of the Church Age.

4. Prepare for Two Outcomes

   • 🔥 If the Rapture comes soon, be ready and watching.

   • 💧 If revival breaks out first, be part of it and don’t miss it.

     
     

🕯️ Final Word from the Watch Wall:

“Peace” without Christ is like anesthesia before judgment.“Prosperity” without righteousness is the last meal before captivity. But to the Bride of Christ — these are not warnings of doom, but whispers of the Groom.

He’s not late. He’s not slack. He’s almost here.
