My point is that the Israelites were mandated by the Lord to go into battle to secure his will. He did not wave a magic wand to accomplish his goals.
I get what you are saying.
Despite man’s motives, His goals will be accomplished no matter what.
Jonah and Moses ran from the Lord and His Will...yet they ended up doing His Will anyways eventually.
Since when has the Gov’t (of any nation) every done the Lord’s Will?
Maybe Israel for a generation and then that fell through.
