In the biblical context, peace (shalom) is not merely the absence of conflict but a state of wholeness and harmony with God. The Israelites often experienced turmoil when they strayed from God's commandments, as seen throughout the Old Testament. This concept is echoed in the New Testament, where true peace is found in Christ (<a href="/john/14-27.htm">John 14:27</a>).<p><b>says the LORD,</b><br>The authority of this statement comes directly from God, emphasizing its importance and truth. Throughout Isaiah, the phrase "says the LORD" is used to assert divine authority and to remind the audience that these are not merely human words but divine pronouncements. This underscores the seriousness of the message and the certainty of its fulfillment.<p><b>for the wicked.</b><br>The term "wicked" refers to those who live in rebellion against God, often characterized by injustice, idolatry, and immorality. In the historical context of Isaiah, the wicked included both the Israelites who turned away from God and the surrounding nations that opposed His people. This warning is consistent with other scriptures, such as <a href="/psalms/1-4.htm">Psalm 1:4-6</a>, which contrasts the fate of the righteous and the wicked. The ultimate fulfillment of this warning is seen in the final judgment, where eternal separation from God is the destiny of the wicked (<a href="/matthew/25-41.htm">Matthew 25:41</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant God of Israel, who speaks with authority and truth.
