About this episode

Pastor Brandon Holthaus explores the meaning of the Hebraic idiom 'peace, peace' and its implications for both ancient Israel and today's world.

What did the prophets mean when they warned of "peace, peace" when there was no peace? In this Hebraic Idioms study, Pastor Brandon Holthaus examines the powerful biblical expression found in Ezekiel and how it applies not only to ancient Israel but also to the world today. Drawing from Ezekiel, Jeremiah, the teachings of Paul, and the words of Jesus, this message explores the danger of false security, the deception of comforting lies, and the reality that true peace can only come through a right relationship with God. Pastor Brandon explains how false prophets promised safety while judgment was approaching, why people naturally prefer reassuring messages over difficult truth, and how the same pattern will reappear in the last days through the global cry of "peace and safety." The study also examines personal responsibility, generational influences, spiritual deception, and the importance of breaking destructive patterns through obedience to Christ.
