“He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.”
If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go; if anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword they will be killed - this verse calls for patient endurance and faithful resistance among the saints, echoing Jeremiah's call to acceptance of exile. Believers are called not to violent retaliation but to steadfast testimony even unto death.
