The peace and security is waiting in the wings while the violence is going on. Much of the violence is a very quiet war.
For instance, a few years ago in Argentina, people who were marked as political dissidents were abducted and were thrown out of military planes over the Atlantic Ocean. Preachers were on hand to encourage the military that they must do this in order to "separate the wheat from the chaff." This leads me to think that these victims were religious-political dissidents, not guerrillas. There were men, women, and children who were thrown out of the planes alive. ( see NY Times, Argentine Tells of Dumping Dirty War Captives into Sea, March 10, 1995)
While at the same time you have the UN, which is actually a front for the World Bank, who has so many tenacles of organizations all with names that imply peace and security.
So, as the violent acts occur of getting rid of all those who speak out against the oppressive forces, you have the mockery of orgs. established to promote peace and security for those who will be compliant to the new system regime. When all religious opposers and dissidents have been killed, silenced, annhiliated, then they will have their 'peace and security'.
This is what the verse means that the sun will no longer give light. The voices of truth, which are the sunlight in these dark places, will be gone. The scripture is metaphorical; it does not mean a celestial event.

It doesn't say there would be peace and security... just that they will be saying 'peace and security' ...then the end will come.

Wars and violence has been a profound part of human social behaviors since the development of tribal cultures.
Following the majority of these wars there have been a usual proclamation of peace and security.
Therefore this particular end times doctrine is made redundantly invalid.
READ history and educate yourself.
Or buy the religious charlatans books ( JWS ) and give them your money, there is a choice.
