The scope of Matthew 10:16-23 reaches beyond the personal ministry of the twelve, covering in a general sense the sphere of service during the present age. Matthew 10:23 has in view the preaching of the remnant. Isaiah 1:9 . (See Scofield "Romans 11:5") in the tribulation Psalms 2:5 . See Scofield " Revelation 7:14 ". and immediately preceding the return of Christ in glory ; Deuteronomy 30:3 ; Acts 1:9-11 . See Scofield " Acts 1:11 ". The remnant then will not have gone over the cities of Israel till the Lord comes.

peace
Cf. John 14:27 . Peace is spoken of in Scripture in three ways:
(1) "Peace with God" Romans 5:1 this is the work of Christ into which the individual enters by faith ; Ephesians 2:14-17 ; Romans 5:1 .
(2) "The peace of God" Philippians 4:7 inward peace, the state of soul of that believer who, having entered into peace with God through faith in Christ, has also committed to God through prayer and supplication with thanksgiving all his anxieties ; Luke 7:50 ; Philippians 4:6 .
(3) Peace "on earth" Luke 2:14 ; Psalms 72:7 ; 85:10 ; Isaiah 9:6 Isaiah 9:7 ; 11:1-12 the universal prevalency of peace in the earth under the kingdom. Matthew 10:34 was Christ's warning that the truth which He was proclaiming would not bring in the kingdom age of peace, but conflict rather. John 14:27 .
