Revelation 6:4
King James Version
6 Jun 2026
“And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.”
εἰρήνη
The Greek eirene carries the Hebrew shalom — wholeness, completeness, nothing missing, nothing broken. Jesus says in Me you have eirene — not in the absence of trouble, but in the middle of it. The peace He gives is not the peace of circumstances. It is the peace of His presence.
