It’s about time somebody gets it right. For far too long, America has been taught by immoral, left-leaning, weak leadership that in warfare, we must be gentle with the enemy. To that I say Balderdash!

Look at it this way. In late March 2026, as U.S. forces engaged in the expanding conflict with Iran, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stood before civilian employees and uniformed personnel at the Pentagon for his monthly Christian worship service. He read a prayer originally offered by a military chaplain to troops who captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
“Let every round find its mark against the enemies of righteousness and our great nation,” Hegseth prayed. “Give them wisdom in every decision, endurance for the trial ahead, unbreakable unity, and overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.” He then quoted Psalm 18:37: “I pursued my enemies and overtook them, and did not turn back till they were consumed.”
The moment drew scrutiny from critics who saw it as overly specific Christian rhetoric in a pluralistic military. Yet Hegseth’s words echo a deep biblical and theological tradition: Christian and Jewish warriors are not called to pacifism in the face of evil but to courageous, just action—without fear of killing when duty demands it. This is not bloodlust or personal vengeance. It is a solemn responsibility rooted in Scripture’s clear distinction between murder and justified killing in defense of the innocent and the nation.
Listen up, Christians and Jews. The Bible repeatedly affirms that not all killing is sinful. The Sixth Commandment—“You shall not murder” (Exodus 20:13)—uses a Hebrew term for unlawful, personal homicide, not the broader act of taking life in war. God Himself commanded the Israelites to wage war: Joshua received divine battle plans against Ai (Joshua 8:1-2), King David followed God’s strategy to defeat the Philistines (2 Samuel 5:23-25), and Saul was ordered to destroy the Amalekites (1 Samuel 15:3). Psalm 144:1 praises the Lord as the one who “trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.” These are not anomalies; they demonstrate that righteous warfare, when authorized by legitimate authority and aimed at justice, aligns with God’s order.
The Bible reinforces this framework.
- Jesus did not command soldiers to abandon their posts
- Roman troops asked John the Baptist how to live righteously, and he told them to avoid extortion and be content with their wages, not to quit (Luke 3:14).
- Apostle Paul, in Romans 13:4, describes governing authorities as “God’s servants” who “do not bear the sword for no reason.” The sword symbolizes the state’s God-given duty to punish evil and protect the people.
History bears witness. Medieval crusaders, though imperfect, saw themselves as defenders of Christendom against centuries of Muslim conquests that had overrun the Holy Land and threatened Europe. Far from unprovoked aggression, the Crusades were framed as a response to aggression—much like modern defensive operations. Christian knights took up the cross, believing they fought not for personal glory but for righteousness, echoing the Jewish warrior ethos of David and Joshua.
Today, this tradition lives in the U.S. military chaplaincy. Hegseth’s reforms—urging chaplains to prioritize God-centered ministry over self-help therapy—aim to restore that spiritual backbone. Nearly 70 percent of troops identify as Christian, and chaplains have long counseled that faith steels the heart against fear. A soldier who hesitates out of misplaced guilt risks failing his comrades and the nation he swore to defend. As Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins preached at Hegseth’s service, overcoming fear means following Jesus with resolve.
In a fallen world, evil must sometimes be met with force. Christian and Jewish warriors do not delight in death; they mourn it. But they do not fear it when called to protect the innocent. Faith grants endurance, unity, and the clarity to act decisively.
As Hegseth reminded the Pentagon, “All the more fitting this month, at this moment,” when tens of thousands serve abroad. True Christian and Jewish courage means trusting that, in just war, every round fired in defense of righteousness can indeed “find its mark”—not as vengeance, but as duty fulfilled under God.

Genesis 6:4 is directed to the original evildoers and continues today. "There were giants in the earth in those days, and after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men of old, men or renown."
Further explanation comes from 1 Enoch. Enoch was called God's Scribe, Prophet, quoted by Jesus, Jude and the Apostles, and his words called Prophesy by Jesus. The romans deleted God's Prophet and Scribe, the same one who 'walked with God," along with one other, Noah. Abraham walked "before God, only Enoch and Noah, "walked with God." In Enoch's case, it was over 300 years. He walked with God for over 300 years, Enoch never tasted death, he was one and Elijah was the other. Both were translated directly up to heaven without dying. And there are many, many scriptures that confirm Enoch.
In 1 Enoch 15:5, Enoch writes, "They will be evil spirits on earth, and evil spirits they will be called. (As for the spirits of heaven, in heaven will be their dwelling, but as for the spirits of the earth which were born upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling.) And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, war, destroy, and cause trouble on the earth."
This means that ALL of the deep state evil that we are witnessing, like roaches scattering when the lights are turned on, ALL of those human beings are inhabited by the spirits of the same fallen ones who brought about the flood, due to their evil. Gates, Fauci, 0, Clintons, Brennan,etc., etc., Epstein's lists, etc., etc., etc.
But note in the Bible, how many prophetic words have yet to come to pass. They——align with Enoch. Dan.2:34, 44, for just two. Dan. 2:44-45. And in the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, not shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever, just as you saw a stone cut from a mountain without hands, it breaks in pieces the iron, bronze, clay, silver and gold. ..."
THIS is why Christian and Jewish warriars must NOT fear killing the enemy. Righteousness and Justice ARE the foundation of God's Throne.
AND, GOD's system, designated in ALL CAPS, refers to His system of Seed, Plant and Harvest. Sow sin, reap death. (Caps/Lower God is Triune God, Father, Son, Spirit.)
