Psalms 72:7. In his days shall the righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth.
Under other kings sinners have flourished, and great oppressors have walked in public, but in Christ’s days the righteous shall flourish; "and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth." There have been some times of truce, there have been some periods when the temple of Janus has been shut; but when Christ comes, the Lord shall break the bow, and cut the spear in sunder; not lay them by in store for days of warfare in the future, but break them up as there will be no further use for them.
