The marginal rendering of “perfect peace” is “peace, peace”, i.e. It is perfect in QUANTITY that is to say, the supply of it is sufficient and it exactly meets our need.How unsatisfactory this is, for the “thing” may fail and the “person” may die!

There is also the imperfect peace of Dependence, which is a peace which is dependent upon some thing or person. ![]() Many men and women know only a peace like that, and one day the shock of God’s judgment will stir up their pool and they will find that they have no real peace at all. There is also the imperfect peace of Stagnation the pool of water may be calm and peaceful, but underneath it is foul and green with slime. the peace of Ignorance, when we imagine that all is going well whereas, in fact, if our eyes were open to see the truth we would know that all is not well (Jeremiah 6:14).
