They will beat their swords into plowshares
    and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not take up sword against nation,
    nor will they train for war anymore. 
Isaiah 2:4 NIV

This verse has also been featured in prominent sculptures, the most well-known probably being the one given to the United Nations by the Soviet artist Evgeniy Vuchetich in 1959. A sculpture sits today in the garden of the United Nations Headquarters in New York City

4. Sometimes biblical images and phrases become so familiar we don’t recognize the social, political and economic realities they describe. Take a moment here to write down movements in the last century that brought war to an end. If you can, try to think of one country that turned military technologies into farming technologies.
