dear Heaven...
yes, YAHWEH is a warrior. When He was the strength and shield of the jewish armies in the OT, He was a protecter of the israelites. At that time there were tribal wars...would it have been better in your eyes if the jewish people just allowed themselves to be taken in battle? If God wanted to help them become a strong people group whose identity would withstand partial assimilation (babylon) they needed to know that YAHWEH was their protection when their very existence was at stake.
the NT still portrays God as a warrior who will fight for His people israel. The NT also teaches that the "sword" that He and His warriors use in the final conflict is the word of God. The NT also teaches that the "fire" that will come against non-believers will be the Holy Spirit. The final battle of God is one in which the word of God is used in conjunction with the conviction of the Holy Spirit to subdue. Those who are (just like christians) convicted are said to be slain. Their life is taken and the new life is in Christ. Yes, there will be those who wont repent and turn to God and it is those people who will be responsible for the violence and bloodshed that is portrayed in the revelation. That is fallen mans natural response to the chaos that will result from all kinds of people turning to God in a very short time period. Many will be fearful of what is coming upon the earth but many will be angry too. You say no thanks now but, I do hope that you will find the Holy Spirit irresistible then so that you aren't one of the fearful or a victim of the angry opposition. God shows mercy in calling people to Jesus Christ/mercy one more time...those who oppose Him will show you no mercy. Revelation 13:7-10
