one! two! three! four! I declare a Scripture war!!!

God is a strong advocate of war;

Regarding the draft;

Nu:1:3: "From twenty years old and upward, all that are able to go forth to war in Israel: thou and Aaron shall number them by their armies."

Protection in war;

Nu:10:9: "And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies."

Guidance in war;

De:20:12: "And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:"

De:21:10: "When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,..."

Jos:8:1: "And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:"

Keep in mind that war to God is a preventative measure, not an agressive act, or at any rate, not agressive without provocation. War is what we call a "necessary evil", and critical to the perpetuation of freedom on earth.

I need more rest from all this war. :)
