There may never be peace in the Middle East until the Thousand Year Reign. Until then God longs to be YHWH Shaloam to Hezbollah, to the Jew, and all who will receive His Mercy and His Grace. This Peace, I truly do not understand. He is as Longfellow discovering that his son had been killed in the Civil War on Christmas Day. He is as those pictured in the Faith Hall of Fame of Hebrews 11. He is the Peace to be cast into prison, devoured by lions, be boiled in oil, or be sawn in half and still know that all is Well with your Soul. What is this mystery of YHWH Shaloam? Many of those who came to understand Him did not live to explain. Many of those who live among us and understand can not explain. But through women like Elizabeth Eliot we know that He is real. YHWH Shaloam we long to know You!
