All throughout the Bible, God provided and permitted weapons both natural and spiritual to defend His people. It's always been His way, His plan, His desire for His people to be armed and to win. It's for His purpose for His Kingdom to prevail and advance. For David against Goliath He provided 5 smooth stones and a sling. (1 Samuel 17:31-37; 41-54) For Nehemiah and his army, He provided spears, shields and bows. (Nehemiah 4:16-18) Jesus had His disciples sell garments to purchase swords. (Luke 22:36-38) He has provided us natural weapons and spiritual weapons, the #fullarmourofgod noted in Ephesians 6. God wants His children protected against the evil one. The Devil will use any means, and will stop at nothing to kill, steal and destroy. It's always been God-approved to use weapons to defend His chosen ones- natural weapons were used all throughout the Bible, even in Jesus's time.
