Peace and War

From The King James Bible
Scripture acknowledges war as a reality of fallen history — sometimes commanded by God — while exalting peace as the goal of the kingdom, blessing peacemakers, and prophesying a future where nations beat swords into plowshares.
Matthew 5:9
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
