My question should be -- What does "GOD makes war in righteousness" mean?
Again, thanks everybody!

Unlike man's wars, which are waged due to pride, greed, self-righteousness, etc., God's "wars" have a pure and holy purpose. He doesn't make war outta uncontrollable rage, like humans. His actions are never to seek revenge, or for personal gain, but to purify. They are always for His "opponents" benefits, not His.
God has chosen some now, to equip with Holy Armor, and defeat our "idols of the heart" and the "works of the devil"; and He will use these chosen--few--elect, alongside Christ, to save the rest of humanity in the coming ages...
Ephesians 2:3 Among whom also, we all, had our behaviour, at one time, in the covetings of our flesh, doing the things desired by the flesh and the mind, and were children, by nature, of anger—even as the rest,—
Obadiah 1:21 And saviours shall come up in Mount Zion, to judge the mountain of Esau,—So shall the kingdom, belong unto Yahweh.
1Co 6:2 Or know ye not that, the saints, shall judge the world? And, if, by you, the world, is to be judged, unworthy are ye of the smallest judgment-seats?
Isa 26:9 With my soul, longed I for thee in the night, Yea with my spirit within me, I kept on searching for thee,—For, when thy regulations [judgments] extend to the earth, The inhabitants of the world will have learned, righteousness.- Daywalker.
