Matthew 10
34 "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
Luke 14
26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters--yes, even their own life--such a person cannot be my disciple.
Mark 3
25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

I totally agree with you here, but this calls into question some other things Jesus supposedly said:
Matthew 10
34 "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
And:
Luke 14
26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters--yes, even their own life--such a person cannot be my disciple.
Yet he also says this:
Mark 3
25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
If a house divided cannot stand, why does Jesus tell us to hate our families (members of our house)?
There is a clear divide within Jesus' words here. Could it be that Jesus spoke some but not others? I think it's a possibility.

The bible says that "wars and rumors of wars" are supposed to happen before Jesus comes back to fix things.
Revelation 6
1 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.
3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.
5 When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. 6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”
7 When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
