War (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War)=WIKIPEDIA SAYS:
War is an intense armed conflict[a] between states, governments, societies, or paramilitary groups such as mercenaries, insurgents, and militias. It is generally characterized by extreme violence, destruction, and mortality, using regular or irregular military forces. Warfare refers to the common activities and characteristics of types of war, or of wars in general.[2] Total war is warfare that is not restricted to purely legitimate military targets, and can result in massive civilian or other non-combatant suffering and casualties.
While some war studies scholars consider war a universal and ancestral aspect of human nature,[3] others argue it is a result of specific socio-cultural, economic, or ecological circumstances.[4]

“There Is Nothing New Under The Sun”
Ecclesiastes 1:4-11
A generation goes, and a generation comes,
but the earth remains forever.
The sun rises, and the sun goes down,
and hastens to the place where it rises.
The wind blows to the south
and goes around to the north;
around and around goes the wind,
and on its circuits the wind returns.
All streams run to the sea,
but the sea is not full;
to the place where the streams flow,
there they flow again.
All things are full of weariness;
a man cannot utter it;
the eye is not satisfied with seeing,
nor the ear filled with hearing.
What has been is what will be,
and what has been done is what will be done,
and there is nothing new under the sun.
Is there a thing of which it is said,
“See, this is new”?
It has been already
in the ages before us.
There is no remembrance of former things,
nor will there be any remembrance
of later things yet to be among those who come after.
WAR IS; Fighting Against Folly (Proverbs 9:13)
“FOLLY” IS MORE OFTEN DESCRIBED AS “A VERY LOUD FEMALE/A WOMAN”=BECAUSE MANY TIMES HOW WOMEN DO SCREAM LOUDER THAN MEN!!?? BUT, HISTORY HAS GIVEN “U.S.” MANY “LOUD/SCREAMING JOINT-SEXES” OF HUMANS, ANIMALS, ALL TYPES OF CREATURES=SCREAMING LOUDLY!!
“The woman folly is loud; she is seductive and knows nothing.”
– Proverbs 9:13
Three descriptions there of folly as contrasted with wisdom in Proverbs 9:13, don’t miss them. First, folly is loud. There is so much noise coming from folly around us in the world, loud. You see and hear folly. I see and hear folly, foolishness that which is not wise like it’s all around us. It’s in what we are scrolling through on our phones, so much foolishness. It’s in what we talk about, it’s in what we hear in conversations all around us in the world. And it’s in what we see advertised. It’s what we see promoted as good and right and satisfying. It’s folly. Very loud. It’s all around us. It’s noise. Everywhere. That’s one.
Folly is loud and seductive, yet it knows nothing. Lord help us to see through foolishness. May we turn to Your Word and live out of the overflow of Your wisdom.
Folly Is Loud, Seductive, and Knows Nothing
Two, it is seductive meaning it draws us in. Foolishness is not repulsive to us, it’s seductive to us. It allures us. It entraps us not because it says, like foolishness doesn’t announce, here’s foolishness, come after this. Says here is that which is good. Here is that, a way that is right. Here is a way that is pleasing. And here is something that will satisfy. Folly is seductive. It promises that which it cannot keep. It promises that which it cannot fulfill. That’s the whole point of the third description so folly is loud, folly is seductive and yet folly knows nothing, knows nothing, see the emptiness of folly. Loud folly, seductive folly, loud foolishness, seductive foolishness it is totally empty. It is cavernous. It doesn’t fulfill at all. And it knows nothing.
Proverbs 9:13 Prays For Us To See Folly For What It Is
We pray God help us to see through it. Help us to see folly for what it is, all around us on a continual basis as we’re bombarded with foolishness, with foolish ideas, foolish thoughts, foolish desires, foolish temptations, the ways of this world, the so-called wisdom of this world, help us to see it as loud seductive emptiness. Not just emptiness, what Proverbs 9:13 goes on to say it leads us to the depths of Sheol it leads us to death. God help us to see rightly. Lord help us to see through the messages this world is selling us all around us, loudly, seductively, God help us to see your wisdom in your word, to believe your wisdom from your word, to discern wisdom according to your spirit amidst all the loud seductive folly messages we hear all around us.
God, thank you for not leaving us to our folly and foolishness. Thank you for saving us from folly and foolishness. Thank you for giving us your word, for giving us your wisdom when we ask. We ask for it and we pray that you help us to live in it, help us to turn from the loud, seductive folly of this world that knows nothing. Help us to trust in you and your word. From the one who knows everything, from the one who knows what is best for our lives, Lord help us to live out of the overflow of your wisdom, in Jesus’ name we pray, amen.

Ephesians 6:11-18
King James Version
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
‘WAR/WARS ARE VERY, VERY EVIL AND BAD, YET=MANY TIMES/BASICALLY EVERY DAY/HOUR/MINUTE/SECOND=GOD HAS TOLD “U.S.” THAT WE HAVE TO
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
