Peace can be likened to what life will be like in paradise.
Security can be likened to the promises of safety made to some people.
When the nations speak of "security" in relation to peace, they mean by means of control they will protect the peace.
Who is promising a peaceful new system of things?
Who is promising that if you do things right, their way, God will protect you at Armaggedon?
How then is "destruction instantly upon them" then?
First of all I'd like to say the New World Translation Bible adds a word here at 1 Thessalonians 5:3. It reads "sudden destruction will be instantly upon them".
What I suppose destruction be upon them means is this: They say Jehovah though Jesus (Prince of Peace) will come to destroy the wicked. Who are they? The wicked are all the people who ignore the good news that the Jehovah's Witnesses preach. They will not admit they teach that to believe the Jehovah's Witness way is to choose security which leads to peace in paradise Earth. They will say only Jehovah know who will survive God's wrath. They are really believing in the death of their fellow citizens of Earth. In fact there are recordings of the governing body member explaining to the crowd there will be many dead even "billions".
It is written at Matthew 5:28 that a man looking lustfully at a woman is committing adultery. Can the same be said of a person convinced in their heart in the rightness of an execution? I think the same law applies. Believing a person will die if the condemned person does not do what is right (according to the one judging) is like murder, just like the thought of adultery is adultery. The thought of killing is killing.
Bear with me please.
When Cain killed his brother Abel he begged for his life. Jehovah allowed him to live. But a sign was placed on him. THAT is what "is upon them".
Why does it say "sudden". I think it is because it comes with believing. It does not develop over time. When a person becomes convinced of the (false) promise of security and the death of the others they get the mark.
