Bible Note: Now I know this doesn't have much to do with the topic, but I believe in the words of Jesus... period. Joshua was a General for the God of Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham and he led the people to capture the land God promised them. So I believe that war belongs to those who wish to be held under the law. And when they go to their appointment with Jesus then there binds will be loosed. But the war in Revelations distinctly says HE may strike; HE will rule; HE treads; and as you said: HE will make war. It doesn't say YOU. Try replacing HE with YOU and it's vanity. And if you look directly above that verse you will find that "the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses." Armies in HEAVEN. Now the sword of his mouth doesn't sound like trench warfare... (if you need my definition of war turn on the history channel, or CNN... my context of war looks like the political powers rallying with drugs, guns and tobaaco in their left hand... with certain out of context excerpts of scripture in their right.) The sword of his mouth sounds like the word of truth spoken by the God of Peace that will not be denied and anyone who fights truth with lies will be ruled with the Law (rod of iron.) And their works will be their judgement: On Earth as it is in Heaven. "And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also." Luke6:29 Even Paul said, "What will ye? shall I come to you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?" 1Cor4:21 Read all of Isaiah 30... the truth is not a luxury, it's a prerequisite... Read Psalm 1. In the Kingdom of God: my hopes and my prayers do find us there. zoe |
