OT law and NT explanation: Wars

(Christians may do these things in a "spiritual" sense and changing the approach to dealing with justice, but reality is that these laws are for the land of Israel and the times before Christ explained proper Justice and Mercy.)  CHRISTIAN DO meditate on these verses, OLD and NEW.  Gain better ground at the righteousness in Judgement of the Lord.

(Deu 3:22)  Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you.
(Deu 7:21)  Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.
(Deu 20:3)  And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;
(Deu 20:2)  And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,
(Deu 20:10)  When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it.
(Deu 20:16)  But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:
(Deu 20:17)  But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:
(Deu 20:19)  When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man's life) to employ them in the siege:
(Deu 20:20)  Only the trees which thou knowest that they be not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued.
(Deu 21:10)  When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,
(Deu 21:11)  And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;
(Deu 21:12)  Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
(Deu 21:13)  And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
(Deu 21:14)  And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.
(Deu 23:7)  Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land.
(Deu 23:11)  But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again.
(Deu 23:13)  And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
(Deu 23:14)  For the LORD thy God walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
(Deu 23:15)  Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:
(Deu 25:17)  Remember what Amalek did unto thee by the way, when ye were come forth out of Egypt;
(Deu 25:19)  Therefore it shall be, when the LORD thy God hath given thee rest from all thine enemies round about, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it, that thou shalt blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven; thou shalt not forget it.
(Mat 24:6)  And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
(Mar 13:7)  And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
(Luk 21:9)  But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
(Jas 4:1)  From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
(Rev 6:4)  And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
(2Pe 1:2)  Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
