Spiritual Peace Comes from Being Taught by the Lord
The world today is easily described by the vision of the rider on the red horse. The red horse corresponds to thinking of the Word as a source of truth but not of good. Without good, truth becomes falsity and when falsity is used as a weapon the only result is dissention, conflict among religious people, and anxiety. The Lord is raising up a New Church to bring a new peace to heaven and earth, and into your heart and mind.
Through Isaiah, the Lord calls to us in our cultural and personal suffering, rage, and irritation, comforting us with the promise of peace. The Lord relieves the suffering, quiets the rage, and calms the irritation by rebuilding our lives with precious stones, showing us the light within what were thought to be merely rocks. Learning of that light is to be taught by the Lord. Following the Lord’s teaching renews the truth of the Word as a form of good, as a source of life rather than a source of dissention and conflict. True peace comes from being taught by the Lord.
