Advent Peace

First Mention of Peace: Genesis 14:18-20 ESV

18 And Melchizedek king of Salem (Peace) brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most High.) And he blessed him and

said, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your. hand!” And Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

Peace and the tithe are mentioned together for the first time in Scripture.Following his victory over a coalition of kings, Abraham gives a tenth of the spoils to Melchizedek.
This is described as an act of thanks and a custom of the time, yielding in a return of peace to Abram and his family.

Early Example of Peace: Judges 6:23 ESV

First Mention of Peace: Genesis 14:18-20 ESV

The angel says to Gideon, "Peace be to you. Do not fear; you shall not die." Gideon then builds an altar and calls it "Jehovah-Shalom" ("The Lord is Peace").

Gideon was hiding from the Midianites, threshing wheat in a winepress, when the Angel of the Lord appeared to him.
After a divine meal was consumed by fire, Gideon realized he had seen the Angel of the Lord face-to-face and exclaimed, "O Lord God! For I have seen the Angel of the Lord face to face"
In response to Gideon's fear, the Lord says, "Peace be with you; do not fear, you shall not die". Gideon then builds an altar to the Lord and calls it "Yahweh Shalom" ("The Lord is Peace")
