Christ's Kingdom of Peace
Commentators explain that the promised peace is a direct result of Christ's spiritual rule. He doesn't conquer with armies but "judges" and "rebukes" nations through the power of the Gospel. According to scholars like Calvin and Barnes, this divine truth convicts hearts, turning humanity's focus from the destructive arts of war to the productive arts of peace, like farming. True submission to Christ's teaching naturally leads to peace.
