Daily Lesson for Thursday 30th of October 2025
Although the main focus of this week’s lesson has constituted the divinely commanded and assisted wars of the Old Testament, we need to mention the presence of another equally significant theme of the Old Testament’s prophetic writings: the future vision of the peaceful Messianic era. The Messiah is depicted as the “Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6). He will usher in a kingdom dominated by peace, where the lion and the lamb will graze together (Isaiah 11:1-8), in which there will be no destruction or hurt (Isaiah 11:9), and where peace will rule (Isaiah 60:17) and flow like a river (Isaiah 66:12).

Consider the story of the feeding of the Syrian army at the initiative of Elisha. Instead of massacring them (2 Kings 6:22), he showcased to them the supreme ideal, peace, which has always been God’s desire for His people. It is interesting to observe that Elisha fully is aware of the superiority of the invisible army that surrounds the enemy (2 Kings 6:17). As much as God is involved in a cosmic conflict that also has affected our planet, the final goal of redemption is not a perpetual conflict or even an eternal subjugation of the enemy in a state of slavery but, instead, everlasting peace. As violence breeds violence (Matthew 26:52), peace engenders peace. The story concludes by stating that the “Syrians did not come again on raids into the land of Israel” (2 Kings 6:23, ESV).

Think about all the ways we can, by seeking to emulate Jesus, be agents of peace. What about your own life right now? In what ways, in whatever conflict you might be facing, could you be an agent of peace instead of conflict? |

Imagínate preparándote felizmente para ir a la iglesia. Mientras abrochas los botones de tu camisa, disfrutas de la sensación de tu camisa más ajustada moldeándose a tu cuerpo.

Gesù annuncia un tempo nuovo: un periodo di libertà, guarigione e speranza per tutti.
Le sue parole – “Oggi questa Scrittura si è compiuta” – segnano l’inizio di una rivoluzione spirituale e umana: il messaggio del Giubileo diventa realtà nella sua vita e nel suo ministero. In questo episodio scopriamo come Gesù non solo parla della libertà, ma la realizza concretamente: ridona dignità, guarisce le ferite, rialza chi è caduto e invita ognuno di noi a fare lo stesso. 🔔 Iscriviti al canale HopeMedia Italia per non perdere i prossimi episodi.
