Mr. False-Peace

"FALSE-PEACE is the voice that whispers peace, peace, where there is no peace! This is the false principle that lulls so many souls to rest, and sings their lullaby while tempests roar. It whispered false-peace to Sodom; it rocked the guilty prophet to sleep, while fleeing from the command of God; and in the very midst of the war with Mansoul, False-peace was ever busied about his master’s Diabolonian business. “What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?” 2 Kings 9:22.

False-Peace is the self-deception of the soul, the traitor within the camp—“A deceived heart hath turned him aside.” Sin is set forth under the garb of righteousness, and vice under the name of virtue. It needs, indeed, the examination and cross-examination of the heart to draw forth this element from its disguise, and to declare its true nature before all men. It needs both the indefatigable diligence of SEARCH-TRUTH, and the unerring witness of VOUCH-TRUTH, to know and to discover the treacherous character of FALSE-PEACE. It is, verily, Satan clothing himself as an angel of light, deceiving, if it were possible, the very elect of God."[2]
