The foundation of all true science is contained in the Bible. Every branch of knowledge may be found by searching the word of God. And above all else it contains the science of all sciences, the science of salvation. The Bible is the mine of the unsearchable riches of Christ.

How do we reconcile the many references to the ancient patriarchs engaging in violent warfare with the words of Christ?

“… for all they that take the sword shall perish
with the sword” (Matt. 26:52)

Did not God “command” and give “divine counsel” to these men of war? Do these “commands” and “counsels” reveal God’s ideal will for justice?

Within this short tract we will discuss this issue by using Scripture, Ellen G. White, and E.J. Waggoner. With careful comparison, we will see why Ellen White says:

“Seeking, first of all, divine counsel, Abraham prepared for war” (Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 135)
