1st question - When was universal peace disturbed?
1 John 3:8
When Satan deceived Eve in the Garden of Eve.
NOPE -
This disruption of the universal peace began in heaven first, at the time that the angel who became Satan started to covet the position of Jehovah to want worship from others. And by doing this, he alienated himself from God and no longer was he in harmony with Jehovah’s will. Then that sinful attitude was manifested in the garden of Eden.
According to the Bible, the word "peace" means far more than just
an absence of war. It means good health, well-being, and safety.
