What have we learned We first needed a “New Disposition” – a new outlook This new outlook or disposition should be “Radical” - ready for an extreme change The Defining of a Warrior

What have we learned We’ve also learned that ……Israel is in a state of EVOLUTION …Israel is no longer a “Wanderer” ….She has evolved into a “Warrior The Defining of a Warrior

A.Define Warrior A person who shows or has shown great vigor, courage or aggressiveness against an opponent with the purpose of attaining or achieving a set (personal) goal or victory The Defining of a Warrior

A.Code of Conduct In many societies in which a specialize warrior class exist, specific codes of conducts are established in order to ensure that warrior class is not corrupt or dangerous to the rest of society…(in other words…they won’t run amuck)and to distinguish a form of honor for the Country or Ruler that they represented. The Defining of a Warrior

For instance: Bushido - The Way of the Samurai 1. Justice / Rectitude / Right Decision 2. Bravery / Courage 3. Benevolence 4. Respect 5. Honesty 6. Honor 7. Loyalty / Faithful / Devoted 8. Piety 9. Honesty / Fidelity 10. Wisdom The Defining of a Warrior

For instance: U.S. Marine Corp 1. Honor 2. Courage 3. Commitment The Defining of a Warrior

A.Christian Code of Conduct The Christian code of conduct establishes the same thing as these others….Keep Christians from running amuck and to exemplify honor for their King and Kingdom 1Peter1:13-3:12 outlines the conduct of a Kingdom Warrior: The Defining of a Warrior
