For my Chinese friend: Confucius says, he who can keep the peace, has won the war... Or was it Confucius, now I'm confused...
Christ Yeshua definitely said he brought the sword.
Matthew 10 (New King James Version)
34“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.
35For I have come to ‘set
[j] a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’;
36and ‘a man’s enemies
will be those of his
own household.’
37He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.
38And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.
39He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.
For now, before his second coming. At his second coming, after Armageddon, He brings us his 1000 years peace.
