Micah Chapter 4 - The True Source of Peace

Inscribed on the front of the United Nations building in New York is part of a verse from Micah chapter 4,

"They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." (Micah 4:3)

It reads as if the United Nations is the only hope for peace in the world.

However, the first part of the verse is omitted on the UN building. It says "And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off." The "He" of course is Jesus.

True and lasting peace to the world will only come from the reign of Christ in the last days.
