In 1 Thessalonians 5, right after Apostle Paul had outlined the events of Christ's future return and gathering of His Church, he then pointed to a specific time on earth when the deceived will say, "Peace and safety":
1 Thess 5:1-7
5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
Do you recall our Lord Jesus foretold for the end that we'd hear of wars and rumors of wars, but to not be troubled, because the end is not yet? (see Mark 13:7).
What kind of time on earth would it be when all... wars have ended? and has it happened yet?
We know it has not happened yet, not ever. With WWI one of the popular sayings was, "the war to end all wars". It didn't. But it got globalist one-world government groups like the League of Nations going. World War II gave the U.N. more inertia towards a one-world government over the whole earth. Their system is still not complete yet, but they are still working towards it, don't be deceived about that, they will accomplish it, because God has already shown us in His Word. That's the "Peace and safety" Paul was speaking of.
When all wars have ended, it means only one... power in the world to create war will exist. It means all... nations and peoples being subservient under the one power, either willingly or unwillingly. With one who can work great signs and wonders and miracles like our Lord Jesus, could that contribute to the whole world working together to make that "Peace and safety" really happen? Yes. There are deceived Christian brethren that are on the plan for a "one world government", and are busily helping to bring it. Why? Because they see it as a good thing. I mean, no more war, everybody has work and food to eat, most disease is eradicated (miracles by false Christ, remember?), basically all our debts paid off, a chicken in every pot!
That is actually the kind of time the "Peace and safety" is about. In Rev.11 when God's two witnesses appear in Jerusalem, they are going to disrupt the world's peace and safety a bit, and when the two witnesses are killed, the world is going to send each other gifts as written there, having a party because the two witnesses that tormented them are dead. "Peace and safety" again, they think. Peace, peace and there is no peace, like the OT prophets said.
That short time of "Peace and safety" will end with the "sudden destruction" that's to occur on the "day of the Lord" according to Apostle Paul. In 2 Peter 3:10, Peter explained that God's consuming fire will burn man's works off the earth on that "day of the Lord".
So if you hear some of today's preachers preach how the coming tribulation period is going to be a time of all out chaos, total war, death and destruction, it won't be for those who will be saying, "Peace and safety', because that's exactly the kind of time they will think it is, a time when all wars have ended, so it's very safe and world peace has finally come. Would the coming of our Lord Jesus back to earth to reign over all nations create a time of true world peace on earth? Believe it or not, no; that because Zech.14 which shows us His return with the wicked still with us, some will still rebel and refuse to come up to Jerusalem from year to year to worship The King, The Lord of Hosts. So what kind of false one coming would make the deceived actually believe world peace and safety has come?
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
KJV
The deceived who will be saying the "Peace and safety" will be like someone who is drunk at night. That's an expression for someone who is so enthralled by the world peace and safety that they don't have a clue of the spiritual sleep they are in.
For the deceived things are going to be good in that time. For those in Christ, some of us will be delivered up to give a Testimony for Jesus.
