“WHEN THEY SHALL SAY ‘PEACE AND SAFETY’

OR IS IT JUST ‘PEACE AND SECURITY’?”

The English Standard Version says security
not safety. 

This article demonstrates how The King James Bible is its own unique dictionary with horizontal word study; not only using formal equivalence but with contextual exactness.

The King James Bible clearly states …

“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”

(1 Thessalonians 5:3)

The English Standard Version says …

“While people are saying, “There is peace and security” … (1 Thessalonians 5.3)

“Why change the word from ‘safety’ to ‘security’?”

“is there any difference?”

“Which is right?”

And so Dear Reader, I went to four sources looking for the difference between the meaning of the words ‘safety’ and ‘security’?

1. Google difference
2. Websters 1828 Dictionary
3. Strongs Concordance
4. Youngs Concordance

… and the end result can get you more confused than ever.  

However what I realized was this … that ‘safety’ and ‘security’ have things in common … but a person in safety is more safe, than a person who is in security. 

Put it this way, all things that are safe are secure, but not all things that are secure are necessarily safe.

In a Venn diagram, safety is a smaller circle within a larger circle of security … that is … safety ≠ security as it is a smaller subset of security.   

Another example is … if I put money into a safe, I know it is not only has security … but also free from theft … that is … it has safety as well.

However, if I put money into secure place, it may not be safe from theft.

And so Dear Reader a horizontal word study in the King James Bible becomes necessary … it being its own unique Dictionary and the true revealer of the meanings of words in their context.

So what is the Bible’s definition of safety?

“I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.”
(Psalm 4:8 KJB)

Dear Reader, can you see that?

Only the LORD can make us live and dwell in safety.  

The world can not give us peace and safety.

According to the ESV, the English Standard Version, the world gives security.

But as the world says safety, as recorded in the King James Bible … this must mean that the world is lying, as it can only give security according to the English Standard Version of First Thessalonians chapter 5 verse three.

And this means the English Standard Version is the lying version for people who love being lied to.
