Last month we saw the dramatic "before and after" given in 1 Peter 2v9-10... Through Jesus Christ, the world is divided into darkness and light, those who are “not a people” and those who are “God’s people," those who have “not received mercy” and those who “have received mercy."
And now it is war.
Naturally we expect the war to be between these two groups, a showdown between God’s chosen people and the nations who still live in darkness. But this is not the war that Peter has in mind.
