The “anti-war” crowd is very fond of quoting the bit in Scripture about swords being beaten into plowshares. Here’s something from Joel we don’t hear from them often “Declare this among the nations: proclaim a war, rouse the warriors to arms! Let all the soldiers report and march! Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak man say, ‘I am a warrior!’ Hasten and come, all you neighboring peoples, assemble there! [Bring down, O Lord, your warriors!] Let the nations bestir themselves and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; For there will I sit in judgment upon all the neighboring nations. Apply the sickle, for the harvest is ripe; Come and tread, for the wine press is full; The vats overflow, for great is their malice. Crowd upon crowd in the valley of decision; For near is the day of the Lord in the valley of decision.”
