The Old Testament is full of the message that God wants to see a world full of peace and justice. The Old Testament prophets often see the future Kingdom of God as a kingdom of peace.

Turn from evil and do good, seek peace and pursue it.

Psalm 34v14

The Prophet Isaiah said that the Messiah would bring peace and justice to the world. Isaiah calls him “The Prince of Peace”:

“And he will be called a Wonderful Counsellor, mighty God, everlasting father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end.”

Isaiah 9:6-7

The Prophet Micah looks forward to a time when God’s rule is established. God’s kingdom will be one of peace.

“They will beat their swords into plough shares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war any more.”

Micah 4:3

“You shall not murder.”

Exodus 10:13

Christians could use these verses to show that violence is never acceptable. Peace is a feature of the Kingdom of God, and God wants all people to live in peace and justice.
