War and Veterans

The Bible on War and Veterans

God acknowledges War is necessary for Israels Survival and the Bible talks about turning War on and turning it off.

Joel 3:9–10

9 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, Let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: 10 Beat your plowshares into swords, And your pruninghooks into spears: Let the weak say, I am strong.

King James Version (Chapter 1)

1 AND the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle of the congregation, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying, 2 Take ye the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, after their families, by the house of their fathers, with the number of their names, every male by their polls; 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. 4 And with you there shall be a man of every tribe; every one head of the house of his fathers.

What about Veterans

King James Version Chapter 15

13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

King James Version Chapter 2

Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same ecommit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
