That's a metaphor for the usage of the Word of God being SPOKEN against the enemy, commanding them to flee from the presence of God's children.

Actually the roots of this scripture are based on a roman custom and the people of the actual time of the delivery of the scripture would have understood the meaning quitewell. The sword has two edges one for cutting down and one for cutting across and up. Jesus is declaring that he will ome speaking the word of judgement upon the whole of the world and exposting all false things and all truths. We will denounce the wicked and justify the rightious. He will come with judgement in his mouth bring wrath upon the world.

The "sword" is a metaphor for the Word.
Eph 6:10-thru end. "...and the sword, which is the word of Truth."

The last thing you asked proved you to be an idiot, this only reinforces that. nyone with a brain that read the bible knows it wasnt a literal sword, sword was a metaphor for the word, i wonder if its possible that that you're so stupid that you thought people would fall for that, actually it will backfire, people will look it uop and decide just what an idiot you are. problem solved.

its the sword of the word, meaning the truth is the strongest weapon, or the pen is mightier than the sword.
