Actually there will be no war.....Ezekiel 7:14
The Lord will destroy His enemies before any shots are fired.
You gave a lot here. From the traditional understanding. I have another one here. We enter the "Holy War" when we are ready. We just need to grow up to that point where God can create the "weapons" of it in us and then we start. He has to change our attitude and fear to those of a Warrior without fear. But of course just for those that want to enter with God and not for those that still needs to grow up.
1 Peter 2
2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
You get those with the "Heart of the Warrior". Who wants to enter. Who are ready. Like Caleb.
Numbers 13
30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
31 But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, isa land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in itare men of a great stature.
*n7
33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
They just need to be woken up.
Joel 3
9 ¶Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
*n3
10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
So we have to come to the point where God make us "strong". Because we are actually "worms".
Isaiah 41
14 Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith theLord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
*n10
15 Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.
*n11
16 Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the Lord, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.
We have to see Jesus in another Revelation.
Isaiah 63
1 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
*n1
2 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?
3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
4 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
6 And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.
And we have to allow our Father to create the Ability to "War" in us. Because in the Word on the Son given to us we got that Ability too. But it is not for God's Children but for His Grown Ups. Ready to enter into another Characteristic of Christ created in us.
Rev. 19
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
