Greenland may appear insignificant at first glance—an expanse of ice on the edge of the map. Yet its position reveals a truth that Scripture has long affirmed and modern history continues to prove: peace does not come through weakness, but through strength guided by righteousness.

As Pastor Steve Cioccolanti has observed,

“Much of this planet runs the way it does, and people don’t even realize it’s because of America’s peace and prosperity.”

That prosperity, he explains, has never been free.

The Hidden Cost Behind Modern Peace

Greenland sits directly beneath the shortest missile trajectory between Russia and North America. It is not symbolic geography; it is strategic reality. And like much of Europe, Greenland has relied on protection it could not provide for itself.

Pastor Steve points to Iceland as a revealing example:

“They don’t even have an army. And yet the Nordic countries are held up as a socialist utopia. Why? Because America spends on defense, and they don’t have to.”

The same pattern has played out across Europe since World War II. Nations were rebuilt, borders defended, and stability maintained through sacrifice borne largely by others.

Donald Trump stated this bluntly at the World Economic Forum:

“We’ve been doing this for decades. And what do we get? Nothing.”

Whether one agrees with Trump’s tone or not, the underlying reality remains: peace has a price, and someone always pays it.

Greenland and the Question of Responsibility

Greenland forces an uncomfortable question: Who bears responsibility for protection, and who benefits from it?

Trump framed the issue in straightforward terms when discussing NATO obligations:

“Every NATO ally has an obligation to be able to defend themselves.”

Pastor Steve connects this directly to Scripture:

“God always offers grace first. He always offers mercy first. But when grace and mercy are rejected, then justice follows.”

Blessing without responsibility creates imbalance. And imbalance, biblically and historically, leads to disorder.

Grace First—Then Justice

This order runs consistently through Scripture. Prophets are sent before judgment. Warnings are given before consequences. Mercy precedes justice—but justice still comes.

Pastor Steve puts it plainly:

“Grace is not the absence of justice. Grace delays it.”

This principle applies not only to individuals, but to nations.

Authority, Leadership, and Biblical Wisdom

Strong leadership is often mischaracterized as aggression. Biblically, it is the opposite. Authority rooted in righteousness exists to protect, not dominate.

Scripture says,

“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice.”

Trump’s negotiation style—often described as abrasive—reflects a form of certainty that Pastor Steve identifies as faith-like in nature:

“Faith has a voice. When you hear faith, you recognize it.”

Recalling conversations with world leaders, Trump spoke with unmistakable conviction:

“You are going to do it. You’re going to do it fast.”

Pastor Steve connects this directly to Jesus’ teaching:

“You shall have what you say.”

Faith does not beg. Faith speaks in alignment with reality as God defines it.

Peace Through Strength Is Not Political — It Is Biblical

Modern culture often promotes peace without justice and mercy without accountability. Scripture never does.

“We have no peace through weakness,” Pastor Steve says. “We have peace through strength.”

Even Christ’s future reign reflects this balance. Mercy is extended freely, but righteousness is upheld decisively.

As Pastor Steve notes,

“Jesus will always offer grace and mercy first. But if there’s any question that He is the rightful King returning for His inheritance, justice will follow.”

This is not politics. It is theology.

Trump Is Not the Savior — But He Is an Illustration

Pastor Steve is careful to make one thing clear:

“We’re not making Trump the savior. We know who the Savior is. It’s Jesus.”

Yet Scripture also teaches that leadership matters. Authority aligned with truth becomes an illustration of biblical principles in action—whether acknowledged as such or not.

The Role of the Church

The Bible teaches that something restrains chaos in the world. Pastor Steve explains it this way:

“The restrainer is not the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will still be here. The restrainer is the Church.”

As long as the Church walks in truth, courage, and discernment, disorder is held back. When clarity is abandoned, confusion accelerates.

Conclusion

Greenland is not merely a geopolitical issue. It is a modern illustration of an ancient biblical principle:

Peace is preserved by strength
Strength must be guided by righteousness
Grace is offered first
Responsibility always follows blessing

As Scripture reminds us,

“You will have what you say.”
“A seed will meet every need.”
“Grace is offered—but justice always follows.”

The question is not whether these principles work.
History has already answered that.

The question is whether they will be understood and lived by again.

REVIEWS: What Viewers Are Saying

This is an extraordinary teaching from you Pastor Steve. This content is exactly why you are the man of God I chose to support. Thank you for helping me with my education and understanding. I most certainly get my money's worth from your calling.

I have been following you about 10 years now and always felt you should be a Presidential Advisor. I was very excited when you came to America. One day closer. BTW just watched your Joseph DVD set. What an awesome message you delivered to show the importance of Jacob's most honored son.

Thank you for all your time learning to teach so well! Bravo 👏

This is very powerful, Sir. The MANY different potential ‘snippets’ to be had from this video.

It is the same with your many other presentations, and this one stands out. We are clearly in the end-times, and with literally millions at the fence of strong delusion, these snippets will preach.
