Isaiah 2:4
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more



The time will come.

Some years ago I reviewed a book: Warlike Christians in an Age of Violence by a chap called Dr. Nick Megoran (Cascade Books, 2017. ISBN 978-1-4982-1959-4). I don't know whether it is still in print, but I do think it is worth reading, even if one disagrees with it. Dr. Megoran is eager to differentiate between pacifism and non-violence, and that which he espouses, 'Gospel Peace.'
Anyway, here is my review if anyone cares to read it. Book Review: ‘Warlike Christians in an Age of Violence’
One small update: I understand that Dr. Megoran is now an elder in the church near Newcastle UK of which he was only a member at the time he wrote the book.

“I wish that Christian men would insist more and more on the unrighteousness of war, believing that Christianity means no sword, no cannon, no bloodshed, and that, if a nation is driven to fight in its own defence, Christianity stands by to weep and to intervene as soon as possible, and not to join in the cruel shouts which celebrate an enemy’s slaughter.” – Charles Spurgeon
