Peace and Safety

1Th 5:3
(3) For when they say, Peace and safety! Then suddenly destruction comes upon them, like the travail to the one having babe in womb, and not at all shall they escape.

Interesting blurb from Foxnews today concerning the plight of Israel:

"Israelis are overwhelmed by security pressures, by fear of the future, by a sense of unworthy leadership. Israelis look at the Middle East and feel the walls coming in, there are terrorist enclaves on our borders and we don't seem to have answers," he said.

"We just fought a war that we won and even that war has not stopped the missiles from falling. So Israelis look around and say, 'No one can deliver peace, no one can deliver security, who can we depend on?'"

That was from

Some commentaries (most) on the verse above say that the world will be in a secure state - of 'peace and safety', and then the end will come. I tend to think that the cry of the world will be for peace and safety - something much sought after. That would be the current state of the world. We have work to do.
