A Vision Of World Peace Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 26, 2022

Isaiah has a vision of peace. This vision came from God. What Isaiah gives us here is totally different from "visualizing peace". We need to see what Isaiah saw. The vision of peace the prophet saw and foretold.

It is because of the atrocity of war and the devastation it brings. You may have seen the bumper sticker, “Visualize World Peace.” ...read more
