What does the Bible teach about the nature of evil? Is Jesus mentioned in the Old Testament? If the heavenly messenger was so powerful, why would it take 21 days to overcome the opposing force, as implied in Daniel 10:13?(20) The God of peace.--We can well understand how the Apostle, in the midst of "fightings without and fears within," should look forward with joyous confidence to the time when both for him and his readers all this turmoil and conflict would give way to "peace." The reference seems to be to his near expectation of the Messiah's return, and with it the final victory of the faith. The Romans have not begun to feel the bitterness of divisions as yet; he foresees a time when they will do so. but beyond that he foresees a further time when all will be hushed and quelled, and the Great Adversary himself for ever overthrown.
