Christ Judges vs Wars in Righteousness

2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness has been put to work, awaiting only the removal of the present oppressor;

2 Thessalonians 2:8 Then the lawless one will be revealed, and the Lord Jesus will destroy him with the breath of his mouth and abolish him by the appearance of his coming.

Revelation 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to fight against the one who rides the white horse and his army.

Revelation 19:20 And the beast was captured, and the false prophet who had performed signs in the beast's presence to deceive those who received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image, was also captured with the beast. And they were both thrown alive into the lake of fire, which was burning sulfur.
