A covenant is a binding agreement; therefore, the Covenant of Peace is like a contract which describes the terms and conditions of God's "peace plan" for mankind.

Peace (shalom) is the positive presence of Harmony, Wholeness, Soundness, Well-being, and Success in all areas of life. In the King James translation of Scripture, the phrase "covenant of peace" occurs only four times: Numbers 25:12-13; Isaiah 54:9-10; Ezekiel 34:25; Ezekiel 37:26.

It is God’s desire that his children live in peace; He established the covenant of peace to assure the children of Israel of His peace despite the danger around and within them, and with us today through His son to establish His peace in our hearts.

Jesus Himself is our peace; in Him, we have “the peace of God, which transcends all understanding” to guard our hearts and minds.
