In the context of war and righteousness, there is a profound distinction between the wars of this world and the spiritual allegiance owed to God. Many killings have been committed in the name of God, with holy wars leaving marks of fear and bloodshed across regions like the Middle East, and even influencing conflicts in other parts of the world. These wars, often fueled by passionate conviction, mirror a belief in righteousness that places the perpetrators above crime or sin. Yet, even in so-called just wars, people must be stirred to anger and hatred to kill, transforming peaceful citizens into warriors through training and incitement, not unlike the frenzy of holy wars elsewhere. God's supremacy over the nations reveals a different path. Scripture shows that He, the supreme Creator and Ruler, has promised to fight for His people supernaturally, negating the need for them to shed blood, provided they obey Him. Instances like the parting of the Red Sea and the defense of Jerusalem demonstrate His power to intervene, as He instructed His people to stand still and witness His salvation. However, Israel's history reflects a pattern of weak faith and disobedience, often leading them to war despite His promises. Their doubt and dissatisfaction became motivators for conflict, even when God allowed it as a consequence of their choices. As citizens of a heavenly Kingdom, our loyalties and submission must go to God before all else. We are not of this world's systems and are called to refrain from fighting in its wars. Our position as ambassadors of that Kingdom means we do not have the legal authority to involve ourselves in the conflicts of human nations. The central command remains clear: we must not kill. If we obey God's commandments and exercise faith in His promises, He will fight our battles, ensuring we never need to resort to violence. Only at the establishment of His Kingdom on earth will we participate in battle under His divine authority.
