CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 25, 2026
AS I LISTEN TO THE MANY HEADS OF STATE WHO HAVE COME TO ADDRESS THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY IN NEW YORK, I THINK OF THE VERSES FROM JEREMIAH 6:14 AND AGAIN IN JEREMIAH 8:11: “PEACE, PEACE, WHEN THERE IS NO PEACE.”
THE VERSES DESCRIBE FALSE PROPHETS AND CORRUPT PRIESTS WHO GAVE THE PEOPLE OF JUDAH COMFORTING ASSURANCES. THEY TREATED DEEP SPIRITUAL AND MORAL WOUNDS LIGHTLY, OR SUPERFICIALLY, INSTEAD OF CALING PEOPLE TO TURN AWAY FROM SIN. THEY CLAIMED EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THAT GOD WAS PLEASED, EVEN THOUGH JUDGMENT WAS COMING, AS IT ALWAYS DOES.
THE UN AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS CANNOT BRING PEACE TO THE EARTH BECAUSE WE ARE NOT AT PEACE WITH GOD. WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS ABOUND BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE GREEDY AND WANT FOR THEMSELVES.
SHOULD WE NOT TRY TO END WARS OR KEEP THEM FROM STARTING? YES, BUT THOSE EFFORTS DON’T BRING PEACE. REAL PEACE WILL BE ACHIEVED WHEN JESUS RETURNS TO EARTH TO SETUP HIS KINGDOM. EACH DAY BRINGS US ONE DAY CLOSER. I’M CAL THOMAS.
