The Christian's Sword is Spiritual
Commentators like Calvin and Henry are clear that this verse is not a command for Christians to enact physical violence. While ancient Israel was at times a literal instrument of God's judgment, the "sword" for New Covenant believers is the spiritual "sword of the Word of God" (Ephesians 6:17). Our battle is against spiritual forces, and our weapon is the truth of the gospel, used to bring people to repentance or to pronounce God's judgment as revealed in Scripture.
