Peace - Shalom



"Strong's Concordance 7965 - Hebrew Shalom
"Completeness (in number), safety, soundness (in body), welfare, health, prosperity, peace, quiet, tranquillity, contentment, peace, friendship, peace (from war), peace (as an adjective)."

"In today’s world, the word peace is most often taken to mean “the absence of war” – not something in itself, but the absence of something negative. Not so the Hebrew understanding of Shalom. Here are some of the elements it includes as found in Strong's Concordance 7965 - Hebrew Shalom: “Completeness, wholeness, health, peace, welfare, safety, soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, harmony, the absence of agitation or discord.” This only begins to touch the surface of the meaning. Shalom unites all aspects of human potential: body, feelings, mind and spirit."
