Jesus Christ Did Not Come to Bring Peace on Earth

The division (concerning Jesus Christ, the Son of God) is life or death, light or darkness, heaven or hell, Christ or antichrist… and the choice is ours!
The Middle Wall of Partition
Apr 15
"For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us." (Ephesians 2:14) This middle wall of partition is a figure with important symbolic applications. The only specific Old Testament reference to a partition is to the wall shielding the Holy Place in the Temple of God as built by Solomon. "So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold." (1 Kings 6:21) This gold-covered wall separated the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies, where God met annually with the high priest at the Ark of the Covenant. Apparently the opening through the partition was covered with a thick veil, preventing others from entering or even seeing the Ark inside. But that veil was rent, and soon the wall itself torn down, when Christ died and rose again, forever opening the way to God for all who would come in faith through Him (Hebrews 10:19-20).
