However, it also represents oppression when wielded unjustly by human authorities or nations. The oppressive use of the sword is a recurring theme in the Scriptures, highlighting the consequences of human sinfulness and the misuse of power.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>The oppressive sword is first seen in the context of conquest and subjugation. In the Old Testament, God sometimes allowed foreign nations to oppress Israel as a form of judgment for their disobedience. For instance, in <a href="/leviticus/26-25.htm">Leviticus 26:25</a>, God warns Israel of the consequences of breaking His covenant: "I will bring a sword against you to execute the vengeance of the covenant, and you will be gathered into your cities. I will send pestilence among you, and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy" . Here, the sword is a tool of oppression used by foreign powers as a divine instrument of correction.<br><br>The prophets frequently spoke against the oppressive use of the sword by Israel's enemies. In <a href="/isaiah/10-5.htm">Isaiah 10:5-6</a>, Assyria is described as the rod of God's anger, used to punish a godless nation: "Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger; the staff in their hands is My wrath. I will send him against a godless nation; I will dispatch him against a people destined for My rage, to take spoil and seize plunder, and to trample them down like clay in the streets" . Although Assyria is used by God, their oppressive actions are not condoned, and they too face judgment for their cruelty.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the oppressive sword is seen in the context of Roman authority. The Roman Empire, known for its military might and oppressive rule, is often depicted as a symbol of worldly power in opposition to God's kingdom. In <a href="/revelation/6-4.htm">Revelation 6:4</a>, the second horseman is given a great sword to take peace from the earth, symbolizing the chaos and oppression that result from human conflict: "Then another horse went forth. It was bright red, and its rider was granted permission to take peace from the earth, so that men would slay one another. And he was given a great sword" .<br><br>Jesus Himself speaks to the misuse of the sword in <a href="/matthew/26-52.htm">Matthew 26:52</a>, when He rebukes Peter for using violence: "Put your sword back in its place. For all who draw the sword will die by the sword" . This statement underscores the futility and destructive nature of relying on oppressive force rather than trusting in God's justice.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The oppressive use of the sword serves as a reminder of the fallen state of humanity and the corrupting influence of power. It highlights the need for divine justice and the ultimate hope of a kingdom where swords are beaten into plowshares (<a href="/isaiah/2-4.htm">Isaiah 2:4</a>). The Bible consistently points to God's sovereignty over human affairs, assuring believers that oppressive powers will not prevail indefinitely.<br><br>Throughout Scripture, the oppressive sword is a call to repentance and a reminder of God's righteous judgment. It challenges believers to seek peace and justice, relying on God's strength rather than human might.<a name="ttt" id="ttt"></a><div class="vheading2">Torrey's Topical Textbook</div><span class="rtext"><a href="/jeremiah/46-16.htm">Jeremiah 46:16</a></span><br>He made many to fall, yes, one fell on another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.<br><span class="source">Torrey's Topical Textbook</span><p><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/bliss/a_brief_commentary_on_the_apocalypse/the_mouth_of_the_beast.htm"><span class="l">The Mouth of the Beast.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> were not written in the book of life, sustained their rulers in these <b>oppressive</b><br> acts. <b>...</b> he will go into captivity: if any one killeth with the <b>sword</b>, he must be <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../bliss/a brief commentary on the apocalypse/the mouth of the beast.htm</font><p><a href="/library/hayward/the_book_of_religions/non-resistants.htm"><span class="l">Non-Resistants.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> or change, by physical violence, any government, however corrupt or <b>oppressive</b>;<br> that he will <b>...</b> the earth, for the violent, who resort to the <b>sword</b>, are destined <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//christianbookshelf.org/hayward/the book of religions/non-resistants.htm</font><p><a href="/library/kingston/the_seven_champions_of_christendom/chapter_three_the_adventures_of.htm"><span class="l">The Adventures of Saint George of England.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> higher till they reached a region where the heat was no longer so <b>oppressive</b> as<br> in <b>...</b> passed, and though Saint George cut off their heads with his <b>sword</b>, they so <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../kingston/the seven champions of christendom/chapter three the adventures of.htm</font><p><a href="/library/lactantius/the_divine_institutes/chap_xv_of_the_devastation_of.htm"><span class="l">Of the Devastation of the World and Change of the Empires.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> of the times, for He will free His people from the <b>oppressive</b> bondage of the <b>...</b> Then<br> the <b>sword</b> will traverse the world, mowing down everything, and laying low all <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../lactantius/the divine institutes/chap xv of the devastation of.htm</font><p><a href="/library/allestree/the_government_of_the_tongue/section_xi_of_positiveness.htm"><span class="l">Of Positiveness.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> This is one of the most <b>oppressive</b> Monopolies imaginable: all others can concern<br> only <b>...</b> Divine always excepted) may as well cut flame with his <b>sword</b>, or harden <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../allestree/the government of the tongue/section xi of positiveness.htm</font><p><a href="/library/white/the_desire_of_ages/chapter_5_the_dedication.htm"><span class="l">The Dedication</span></a> <br><b>...</b> In the words to Mary, "A <b>sword</b> shall pierce through thy own soul also <b>...</b> Satan has<br> represented God as selfish and <b>oppressive</b>, as claiming all, and giving nothing <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//christianbookshelf.org/white/the desire of ages/chapter 5 the dedication.htm</font><p><a href="/library/binning/the_works_of_the_rev_hugh_binning/preface_by_the_editor.htm"><span class="l">Preface by the Editor.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> When they purely trust to the <b>sword</b> of the Spirit, which is the word of <b>...</b> the English<br> army justified their invasion of Scotland and their <b>oppressive</b> treatment of <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../binning/the works of the rev hugh binning/preface by the editor.htm</font><p><a href="/library/lang/john_knox_and_the_reformation/chapter_ii_knox_wishart_and.htm"><span class="l">Knox, Wishart, and the Murder of Beaton: 1545-1546</span></a> <br><b>...</b> of the offenders having usurped the executive authority, or being systematically<br> protected by <b>oppressive</b> rulers."
