- 5:3Those who will proclaim ‘peace and security’ are not the faithful, but those outside of the faith.

(Something similar, but lesser, happens during the first part of the tribulation (not long from now); when the Warning occurs, many false prophets and foolish persons will claim that the time of peace has begun, but instead the first part of the tribulation will occur.(Conte)
