Rest In Peace
We find the word “Terror” 44 times in the Bible.
Terror in the Greek means “phobos”.
We are living in a time where terror is all around us.
School shootings, shootings at the movies, at concerts, even at our perspective places of worship.
We call people who kill and do the senseless act of evil terrorist.
A terrorist is: a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
The enemy wants us to live in fear, trying to bully us by intimidation.
We have become afraid to leave our homes and through this terror we have become distracted and oppressed.
The writer to the church at Ephesus tells us:
Ephesians
In order to win any fight or battle, you need to know your enemy.
Our enemy is not each other.
As long as we bicker, argue, and gossip against one another, the real enemy is going unnoticed.
We are at war! Satan the devil hates us and wants to destroy us.
We must be aware of our enemy’s weapons and tactics, because our spiritual life depends on it.
He wants to rob us of our joy and our peace.
He is a liar and a thief.
One of the most valuable things he takes is the ability to hope and trust.
If he can cause you to lose hope and quit trusting, he’s won half the battle.
As God is speaking to his children in , he is assuring them of a glorious future.
Having endured much, the people of God will be restored like a ruined city rebuilt with the finest materials.
One of the greatest fears perhaps, is that our children won’t be protected.
That they are in constant danger and will somehow be left out of the protection of God.
He has promised to provide and protect not only you but your children.
He knows where they are and has promised to call them out.
He promise in verse 14 that in righteousness you shall be established and that you shalt be
God’s people are secure because all the powers of evil are under God’s control and He will defend his people.
The workman that forms “weapons against thee” (Is 54:17) is wholly in My power, therefore thou needest not fear, having Me on thy side.
“No weapon that is formed against thee (though ever so artfully formed by the smith that blows the coals, v. 16, though ever so skilfully managed by the waster that seeks to destroy) shall prosper; it shall not prove strong enough to do any harm to the people of God; it shall miss its mark, shall fall out of the hand or perhaps recoil in the face of him that uses it against thee.”
It is the happiness of the church that no weapons formed against it shall prosper long, and therefore the folly of its enemies will at length be made manifest to all, for they are but preparing instruments of ruin for themselves.
Secondly, From their law-adversaries, that think to run them down under colour of right and justice.
When the weapons of war do not prosper there are tongues that rise in judgment.
Both are included in the gates of hell, that seek to destroy the church; for they had their courts of justice, as well as their magazines and military stores, in their gates.
The tongues that rise in judgment against the church are as such as either demand a dominion over it, as if God’s children were their lawful captives, pretending an authority to oppress their consciences, or they are such as misrepresent them, and falsely accuse them, and by slanders and calumnies endeavour to make them odious to the people and obnoxious to the government.
This the enemies of the Jews did, to incense the kings of Persia against them, Ezra 4:12; Esth.
3:8.
“But these insulting threatening tongues thou shalt condemn; thou shalt have wherewith to answer their insolent demands, and to put to silence their malicious reflections.
Thou shalt do it by well-doing (1 Pt. 2:15), by doing that which will make thee manifest in the consciences even of thy adversaries, that thou art not what thou art represented to be.
Thou shalt condemn them, that is, God shall condemn them for thee.
He shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, Ps. 37:6.
Thou shalt condemn them as Noah condemned the old world that reproached him, by building the ark, and so saving his house, in contempt of their contempts.”
The day is coming when God will reckon with the wicked men for all their hard speeches which they have spoken against him, Jude 15.
"Rest in peace" (Latin: Requiescat in pace (Classical Latin: [re.kʷiˈeːs.kat
ɪn ˈpaːke], Ecclesiastical Latin: [re.kwiˈɛs.kat in ˈpa.tʃe])) is a phrase sometimes used in traditional Christian services and prayers, such as in the Lutheran,[1] Methodist,[2] and Roman Catholic[3]denominations, sometimes to wish the soul of a decedent eternal rest and peace in Christ.
It is also used on headstones, often abbreviated RIP.
The term has entered widespread common parlance within Western culture as a term used to acknowledge someone's death.

The phrase dormit in pace (English: "he sleeps in peace") was found in the catacombs of the early Christians and indicated that "they died in the peace of the Church, that is, united in Christ."[4][5][6]
The acronym R.I.P., meaning "rest in peace", continues to be engraved on the gravestones of Christians,[7] especially in the Catholic, Lutheran, and Anglican denominations.
This verse has been found inscribed in Hebrew on gravestones dating from the 1st century BC, in the graveyard of Bet Shearim.
It speaks of the righteous person who died because he could not stand the evil surrounding him.
A recapture of these words, read as "come and rest in peace," has been transferred to the ancient Talmudic prayers, in a mixture of Hebrew and Aramaic of the 3rd century AD.
It is used to this day in traditional Jewish ceremonies.
We can lay down in peace.
We can rest in peace knowing that God is our refuge and our fortress.
