BoZ 20 Tom Bradford's Torah Class - Book of Zechariah Chapter 10 cont.

YHWH says He is going to make the restored Judah like a majestic horse or better a war-horse as used in battle. War-horses were the ultimate battlefield weapons of that era. I want to take this opportunity to again point out something that Christianity typically chafes at and usually denies. YHWH is as much a God of war as He is a God of love. YHWH always uses war to make big changes on earth, and among people and nations. Wars that he directly starts are even called Holy Wars. Humans are inherently war-like creatures. We weren’t created to be that, but becoming that way is one of terrible effects of Adam and Eve listening to Satan and not trusting YHWH, which led them into sin and The Fall. From that moment forward, mankind would use violence to bring about change. And, YHWH would use that war-attribute of humans to bring about the progression of His plan of redemption because humans are always the tools YHWH uses on earth to effect change. Thus, to constantly refer to YHWH as being only a God of love is to make Him into Cupid. It completely mischaracterizes Him. This false characterization in no way reflects what we read in the Bible. It is but another in a centuries’ long series of manmade doctrines that misleads. And, we just read what YHWH thinks of leaders who do not properly lead. Tom Bradford
