HOLY WAR

Yah (God) is fighting a Holy War in the spiritual realm against Satan and his evil spirits, and on the earth against evil people. In His Jihad, He and He alone is the only warrior.

"Yah is a warrior " ( Ex.15.3) who says,

"Vengeance is mine." (Dt.32:35) "The battle is Yah's" (1 Sam.17:47) " he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything." (Acts 17:25) "Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket; they are regarded as dust on the scales." ( Is.40:15). The earth is his "footstool." (Is 66:1) "He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence." (Psalm 62:2)

Abraham

Abraham was told to go invade Canaan. He was to go alone and not take any of his kin with him. He understood that Yah would give him the land and he went out in faith. He understood that Yah was his warrior and he would never have to fight for Yah would fight for him. Since Abraham was the first man to understand how Yah wages Holy war and the first to trust Yah to fight for him, I called his understanding of holy war Abrahamic Jihad.

Moses

Moses Understood Abrahamic Jihad and at the Red Sea he ordered the Israelites to "Stand still and see the salvation of Yah." (Ex.14:13) The Israelites did not fire a single arrow and Yah destroyed Pharaoh and his army.

Jesus

Yahshuah (Jesus) understood Abrahamic Jihad. "Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. With that, one of Jesus' companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear. "Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?" ( Mt.25:51-53)

The Early Christians

The early followers of Yahshuah understood Abrahamic Jihad, but the latter ones do not. Robert Culver, Professor of Theology, at Winnipeg Theological Seminary, believes Christians can go to war, but he himself admits that "No single leader of Christianity in the early Pre-Constantinian era (33AD to 325 AD) approved a military career as right for a believer in Jesus Christ".

Yale Historian, Roland H. Bainton, in his book The Horizon History of Christianity wrote: "The taking of life in war was unanimously condemned by all Christian writers prior to Constantine." Bainton says Christianity moved through three stages: first, they opposed all war, second, they accepted controlled, restrained Just Wars, third, they fully embraced all out Atomic warfare. " Broadly speaking three attitudes to war were to appear in the Christian Ethic: Pacifism, The Just war, and The Crusade. Chronologically they appeared in just this order." (Bainton 1966).
