“Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.” I understand where you’re coming from, but remember what Jesus says right after this: “For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.” Swords slice and divide things. He’s calling us to separate ourselves from this world and the chaos it offers. This time in our history really sucks; but we were warned about it coming, so balance the anger with enthusiasm, because we must be near the end. We’re almost home.
