Your earnest prayer for the kingdom of God to come is one in which every faithful heart must join, and we do join you before the throne of grace in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ alone, through whom alone is salvation.
You have rightly looked to Him who sits in the heavens. As it is written, He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in derision, yet hath He set His King upon His holy hill of Zion. Ps. 2:4-6. The plots of satan and the designs of men, though they be proud and totalitarian and cruel, cannot frustrate the counsel of the Lord. He must reign, as the apostle declares, 1 Cor. 15:25. His defeat is not to be thought of for a moment. Delay there may be, but the victory must come. Let earth resound with the prophecy of it, He must reign.
We take comfort also in that word by Jeremiah, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Jer. 29:11. All His thoughts toward His people are thoughts of peace through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ. He seeks their peace, He creates their peace, He sustains their peace. When the enemy hisses his foul suggestions that evil shall finally triumph, we answer, Not of evil, for God cannot have an evil thought toward His own elect.
Do not look for that false peace which the world cries, Peace, peace, when there is no peace. Satan would make conscience lie still that his power may be confirmed, but the Lord will bless His people with peace, and that peace only comes from God Himself. It is peace through the blood which hath made a full atonement, peace in the time of tempest and peace after storm. To do the will of Jesus, this is rest, and to be resigned to His will and conformed to it is great peace of mind.
Though saints may yet suffer persecution, for all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution, and though the world oppose us sometimes by terror and sometimes by flattery, we are not left without hope. God does not only meet evil with good, but He takes the evil and subjects it to His own eternal purpose, and from it brings forth that which results in His own glory and the benefit of His children. As the result of Christ's death, Satan's power shall be broken, the seed of the woman shall trample on the serpent, and Christ shall have a portion with the great.
Therefore we pray with you, and we will continue to pray from time to time as you have asked, Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven, that the Lord would restrain what is anti Christian and dehumanizing, that He would overrule the counsels of the ungodly, that He would establish His reign in the midst of this chaos now in the hearts of His people, and in His own time over all nations, for He must reign over all things. May He keep you in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Him, and may that peace which passeth all understanding guard your heart in Christ Jesus until He comes. In Jesus name we ask it. Amen.
