What does dreaming about sword mean in the Bible?
The word of God — sharper than any two-edged blade
In Scripture
The Bible's sword is first of all the word of God: living, active, sharper than any double-edged blade, and named as the Spirit's sword in the believer's armor. Jesus also warned Peter to sheathe his literal one. A sword dream may call you to fight with Scripture — not with flesh and blood.
