Bible Question:
Passage Exodus 15:3: 3The Lord is a Man of War; the Lord is His name. here i think it means God loves Holy War, then why is Christ the Prince of Peace i didnt find this in any exhaustive concordance, even online ones. can you spot one for me |
Bible Answer: "a man of war" this name has on this occasion a special fitness: man had no part in the victory, the battle was the Lord's. I normally wouldn't refer any to any other Bible but the KJV, but for this one I will make an exception. In the NIV it reads "The Lord is a warrior." The Lord is a man of war - Perhaps it would be better to translate the words, Jehovah is the man or hero of the battle. As we scarcely ever apply the term to any thing but first-rate armed vessels, the change of the translation seems indispensable, though the common rendering is literal enough. Besides, the object of Moses was to show that man had no part in this victory, but that the whole was wrought by the miraculous power of God, and that therefore he alone should have all the glory.
