Man Of War, King Of Peace
Exodus 15:3 (NKJV)
The LORD is a man of war; The LORD is His name.
Death of the Egyptian army:
Exodus 14:22 to 31 (GNB)
22and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on both sides.
23The Egyptians pursued them and went after them into the sea with all their horses, chariots, and drivers.
24Just before dawn the LORD looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud at the Egyptian army and threw them into a panic.
25He made the wheels of their chariots get stuck, so that they moved with great difficulty. The Egyptians said, The LORD is fighting for the Israelites against us. Let’s get out of here!
26The LORD said to Moses, Hold out your hand over the sea, and the water will come back over the Egyptians and their chariots and drivers.
27So Moses held out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the water returned to its normal level. The Egyptians tried to escape from the water, but the LORD threw them into the sea.
28The water returned and covered the chariots, the drivers, and all the Egyptian army that had followed the Israelites into the sea; not one of them was left.
29But the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on both sides.
30On that day the LORD saved the people of Israel from the Egyptians, and the Israelites saw them lying dead on the seashore.
31When the Israelites saw the great power with which the LORD had defeated the Egyptians, they stood in awe of the LORD; and they had faith in the LORD and in his servant Moses.
I will fight your battles for you:
Exodus 23:20 to 24 (NKJV)
20Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
21Beware of Him and obey His voice; do not provoke Him, for He will not pardon your transgressions; for My name is in Him.
22But if you indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.
23For My Angel will go before you and bring you in to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites and the Hivites and the Jebusites; and I will cut them off.
24You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their works; but you shall utterly overthrow them and completely break down their sacred pillars.
Exodus 23:27 and 28 (NKJV)
27I will send My fear before you, I will cause confusion among all the people to whom you come, and will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
28And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before you.
Battle of Jericho:
Joshua 6:2 to 5 (NKJV)
2And the LORD said to Joshua: See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.
3You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days.
4And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.
5It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram^s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him.
Joshua 6:20 and 21 (NKJV)
20So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
21And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, ox and sheep and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
Gideon^s battle:
Judges 6:9 (NKJV)
9and I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of all who oppressed you, and drove them out before you and gave you their land.
Judges 6:10 (NKJV)
10Also I said to you, I am the LORD your God; do not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But you have not obeyed My voice.
Judges 7:19 to 22 (GNB)
19Gideon and his hundred men came to the edge of the camp a short while before midnight, just after the guard had been changed. Then they blew the trumpets and broke the jars they were holding,
20and the other two groups did the same. They all held the torches in their left hands, the trumpets in their right, and shouted, A sword for the LORD and for Gideon!
21Every man stood in his place round the camp, and the whole enemy army ran away yelling.
22While Gideon^s men were blowing their trumpets, the LORD made the enemy troops attack each other with their swords.
A dead army:
1 Kings 20:30 (GNB)
30The survivors fled into the city of Aphek, where the city walls fell on 27,000 of them. Benhadad also escaped into the city and took refuge in the back room of a house.
Another dead army:
2 Kings 19:32 to 37 (GNB)
32This is what the LORD has said about the Assyrian emperor: He will not enter this city or shoot a single arrow against it. No soldiers with shields will come near the city, and no siege mounds will be built round it.
33He will go back by the same road he came, without entering this city. I, the LORD, have spoken.
34I will defend this city and protect it, for the sake of my own honour and because of the promise I made to my servant David.
35That night an angel of the LORD went to the Assyrian camp and killed 185,000 soldiers. At dawn the next day, there they lay, all dead!
36Then the Assyrian emperor Sennacherib withdrew and returned to Nineveh.
37One day, when he was worshipping in the temple of his god Nisroch, two of his sons, Adrammelech and Sharezer, killed him with their swords, and then escaped to the land of Ararat.
Yet another dead army:
2 Chronicles 20:20 to 30 (GNB)
20Early the next morning the people went out to the wild country near Tekoa. As they were starting out, Jehoshaphat addressed them with these words: People of Judah and Jerusalem! Put your trust in the LORD your God, and you will stand firm. Believe what his prophets tell you, and you will succeed.
21After consulting with the people, the king ordered some musicians to put on the robes they wore on sacred occasions and to march ahead of the army, singing: Praise the LORD! His love is eternal!
22When they began to sing, the LORD threw the invading armies into a panic.
23The Ammonites and the Moabites attacked the Edomite army and completely destroyed it, and then they turned on each other in savage fighting.
24When the Judean army reached a tower that was in the desert, they looked towards the enemy and saw that they were all lying on the ground, dead. Not one had escaped.
25Jehoshaphat and his troops moved in to take the loot, and they found many cattle, supplies, clothing, and other valuable objects. They spent three days gathering the loot, but there was so much that they could not take everything.
26On the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Beracah and praised the LORD for all he had done. That is why the valley is called Beracah.
27Jehoshaphat led his troops back to Jerusalem in triumph, because the LORD had defeated their enemies.
28When they reached the city, they marched to the Temple, to the music of harps and trumpets.
29Every nation that heard how the LORD had defeated Israel’s enemies was terrified,
30so Jehoshaphat ruled in peace, and God gave him security on every side.
King of peace:
Hebrews 7:1 to 3 (NKJV)
1For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
2to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, meaning king of peace,
3without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually.
Prince of peace:
Isaiah 9:6 (NKJV)
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Protection from God:
Isaiah 54:17 (NKJV)
No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me, Says the LORD.
Isaiah 50:10 (NKJV)
Who among you fears the LORD? Who obeys the voice of His Servant? Who walks in darkness And has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD And rely upon his God.
Jeremiah 17:5 to 7 (GNB)
5The LORD says, I will condemn those who turn away from me and put their trust in human beings, in the strength of mortals.
6They are like bushes in the desert, which grow in the dry wilderness, on salty ground where nothing else grows. Nothing good ever happens to them.
7But I will bless those who put their trust in me.
