Sure, there's a war, but…

God’s apocalyptic war is fought with weapons of self-giving love and total identification with those who suffer “outside the camp” (Heb. 13:13), whoever they are. The resistance of the demons to God’s coming kingdom is intense and determined and must be continually opposed. The armor of God, however, is the opposite of that used in this present age.—Fleming Rutledge, The Crucifixion, 275
