Scriptures mentioned

Romans 11:22

“Note then the kindness and the severity of God..”

Romans 8:35

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?”

Isaiah 2:4He will judge between the nations    and will settle disputes for many peoples.They will beat their swords into plowshares    and their spears into pruning hooks.

Joel 3:10Beat your plowshares into swords,and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, “I am a warrior.”
