The peace to come, has come already, and will come fully in the state of future grave.
John Calvin, on what it means for Jesus to be our peace:
He shall be our peace; and we ought to be satisfied with the protection of the King whom God the father has given us. Let his shadow, then, suffice us, and we shall be safe enough from all troubles. We now see in what sense the prophet calls Christ the prince of peace of his people or of his church; he so calls him because he will drive far away all hurtful things, and will be armed with strength and invincible power to check all the ungodly, that they may not make war in the children of God, or to prevent them in their course, should they excite any disturbances.
