So we who say that war is not always good, and that God does not want war, we need to stop and realize what we are saying here. Of course war kills innocent lives, but sometimes war is absolutely necessary in order to achieve peace (and in order to achieve what God wants and not what we want. I encourage you to do a study on the Israelites and Moses rescuing them, God killed them off even after Moses pleaded with God, or read about Noah and the Arc). Sometimes God will do what is necessary (even in today's world) in order to achieve His plan for His Kingdom, which sometimes means killing people. God is in control. Not to be confused with the statement that 'God is a murderer', but rather he is simply just righteous, and sees to it that those who must be put out of there misery are, so that The greatest good can come out of it (Romans 8:28).
Please read the following passage from the Bible about who Jesus is and His connection with War. (And I might add that all of us are in a battle, whether you realize it or not, ref Ephesians 6:12).
God (Jesus) is a God of war:
Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND Lord OF LORDS. (Revelation 19:11-16 NKJV)
