"…and in righteousness He judges and makes war."


Who is this verse referring to?

Revelation 19:11(NKJV)
Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 

Jesus of course. 

For all of those who think Jesus is a pacifist I call your attention to the highlighted part.  It says very plainly that Jesus judges and makes war.  That is a funny thing for a pacifist to do isn't it?  But it is even better than that.  It says that Jesus judges and makes war righteously! 

Let's take a look at the definition of righteous.

righteous
]adjective
  1. characterized by uprightness or morality: a righteous observance of the law.
  2. morally right or justifiable: righteous indignation.
  3. acting in an upright, moral way; virtuous: a righteous and godly person.

From <http://www.dictionary.com/browse/righteous>

So the wars Jesus wages are morally right or justifiable.  Hmm.  For all of those who say war is NEVER the answer, it appears that Jesus would disagree with you!
