Jeremiah 6:14-15
“They have healed the wound of my people lightly, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ when there is no peace. Were they ashamed when they committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed; they did not know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; at the time that I punish them, they shall be overthrown,” says the LORD.
Neutrality is the weapon of those too cowardly too confess their hate and too proud to confess their sin. They say, "Peace," because it buys them time. They want peace with their people while they plot their demise. They want peace and quiet while they plan their riots. They do not want to win a war with evil, but to delay it long enough to make it unnecessary. Saying, "Peace," is one of their favorite weapons. Disarming others is their war path. They commit atrocities under the guise of affability They would rather declare peace with people through deception than make peace with God through repentance. But God is reading their mail. They can fool some of the people some of the time, but they cannot fool Christ any of the time.
Psalm 37:12-13
The wicked plots against the righteous,
and gnashes his teeth at him;
but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
for He sees that His day is coming.
