I think we need to tread lightly when throwing puzzle pieces of scripture around to make them fit wherever we want them to.
The Sword refers to the Word of God- Scripture
The thief in the night example in Matthew 24 doesn't mean stay up all night and make sure someone doesn't break into your house, it means that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night when we least expect it.
Jwalker, there is validity to what you are saying. Throughout Scripture, Jesus nor the disciples display a "Safety First" attitude. In fact, the bible is clear that Jesus didn't even defend himself before Pilate.. We are taught to rely on the LORD for protection and walk as if "To Live is Christ, to Die is Gain."
But there is a reason that Christ endowed men with protective instincts.
The sword is not the word of God in these examples. They were told to "buy" a sword. You dont buy scripture. Malchus had his ear cut off with a sword not scripture Ephesians 6: 17 makes it pretty clear that the Sword is the Word of God Why do you think other passages say that the Word of God "Cuts into us sharper than a double edge sword"(Hebrews 4:12)?.....The Lord is consistent in his analogies. The Sword is the Word of God. The metaphor here is that the Scriptures are more important that clothing, earthly items, etc.(cloak) give up whatever you have to in order to access and digest the Word Again "BUY" a sword. You do not buy the word or scripture. Yes the word has been referenced as sharper than a double edge sword.
Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!
