We see in the OT many wars.

What do we know about The God of Heaven?

Romans 15:33 Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

With sinful man there can be no peace, thus war is a necessity.

Exodus 15:3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.

Thus King David was a man of peace as well:

Psalms 120:7 I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

And thus we see even now this:

Psalms 140:2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.

We live in the end generation and like Noah's day it is filled with violence.

Numbers 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.

2 Samuel 22:35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

Psalms 18:34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

Psalms 144:1 <<A Psalm of David.>> Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:

Judges 3:1-2 Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan; Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;

Without war there can be NO Peace, thus King David brought peace for King Solomon his son by

War.

Sadly, and we all know it; there can be no lasting peace; except by The Prince of Peace.

Thus even with The Lord ruling in the Millennium, sinful man will still have to a decision to believe in Him, yet even with these perfect conditions ( which proves the heart is exceedingly wicked and only God Knows it )

Revelation 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

Revelation 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

Revelation 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

Thus God does warfare by fire against The wicked and the GWTJ will at it's conclusion will see:

Isaiah 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.

and then:

Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

Only thru war can peace be attained
